The Villa “La Rondinaia” (The Swallow’s Nest) is certainly one of the most stunningly original villas on the Amalfi Coast and in Italy.
Villa La Rondinaia is delighted to welcome you and your guests to celebrate this special event with us in Ravello! A fairy-tale villa on the Amalfi Coast, Villa La Rondinaia is an elegant historic residence set in terraced gardens with great views of the Amalfi Coast and the Gulf of Salerno.
Immersed in a park of peerless beauty, as it seems, in fact, a swallow's nest suspended in the void of a breathtaking overhang, the Villa is naturally characterized by its amenities and high levels of confidentiality and absolute privacy.
Once the private paradise of the American writer and screenwriter Gore Vidal, the rooms of the Villa, today elegantly restored and furnished, have welcomed Tennessee Williams, Princess Margaret of England, Hillary Clinton, Paul Newman, Susan Sarandon, William Clarck Styron, Leonard Bernstein, Italo Calvino, Franco Zeffirelli, Andy Warhol, Jane Woodward, Tim Robins, Peter O’Toole, Francesco Rosi, Giovanni e Marella Agnelli, Sting, Rudolf Nureyev, Mick e Bianca Jagger. Today, Villa La Rondinaia remains a private, family-owned jewel set on the heart of the Amalfi Coast.
La Rondinaia is a private family-run jewel located in the heart of the Amalfi Coast.
The property is spread over an area of about 850 square meters, including terraces and balconies, and is surrounded by a park of 25,000 square meters, characterized by soothing paths through the trees.
The external and internal environments of La Rondinaia represent the quintessence of a pleasant stay characterized by high levels of quality, elegance and luxury.
The interiors of the Villa have recently undergone integral and careful restoration work, respecting the historical-artistic constraints and the traditional architectural elements typical of the Amalfi Coast.
All furnishing elements, furniture, curtains, and equipment, of fine manufacture, were made by Italian craftsmen in 2019, complemented by some antiques historically already present in the Villa. The interiors, all equipped with air conditioning, allow you to experience the Villa even for long stays, for friends and families, being able to have 6 units including suites, junior suites, and deluxe rooms, for a total of 12 beds, plus two extra beds with supplement.
The rooms are all finely cared for and furnished with fine furniture and, as for the entire Villa, with paintings, statues and busts of valuable artistic value. All rooms have bathrooms with a large bathtub and/or shower and chromotherapy. One of the two suites also has a Jacuzzi, set on the rock. They all enjoy extraordinary views that can also be enjoyed from panoramic terraces and they are equipped with a mini-bar.
The extremely professional and trained staff is able to satisfy every personal need, request and expectation of the Guests and it is ready to provide any type of assistance and advice to make the best use of the services and beauty of the area, with the right combination of professionalism and family welcome, to make guests feel like in their own residence on the Amalfi Coast.
