Our Top 8 Wedding Venues:

Villa Cimbrone

Villa Cimbrone has always been our dream wedding venue. Why is this at the top of our list you may ask? We believe that the ‘Terrazza dell’infinito’ - The Infinity Terrace - speaks for itself. It’s a majestic terrace of marble busts that gives a view into the infinity between the sky and sea. It’s one of the most well-known and prestigious hotels to locals in Ravello and the Amalfi Coast. The Crypt at Villa Cimbrone is also quite famous for both wedding receptions and dinners. It’s truly a unique and romantic spot with its enormous columns and stunning views.

Grand Hotel Convento di Amalfi

Grand Hotel Convento di Amalfi deludes those who aren’t as familiar with it. As part of the NH hotels, these hotels can be found almost anywhere around the world. What makes the Amalfi one so special is its unique territory. It’s located on one of the most suggestive ruins of the Amalfi Coast, overhanging the sea. The historic building once was a 13th-century monastery before it was converted into a hotel. Beautiful Arab-Norman cloister architecture surrounds the ceremony views. There is also the famous ‘Passeggiata Dei Monaci’. A panoramic path where the wedding guests can enjoy a Mediterranean garden and a spectacular panorama of the coast.

Africana Famous Club

For Vincenza’s family, this disco is famous for having been their “summer disco of youth”. It was common to take a ferry from Salerno to arrive directly by sea in front of the famous cave of Praiano. Yes, I said a cave. This is because that is exactly what the Africana Famous Club is. A cave overlooking the sea with a phenomenal terrace designed for an evening wedding reception. You even have parts of the cave that have glass floors allowing you to look directly into the water. Today, the Africana Famous Club is a special and original venue for destination weddings and welcome nights on the Amalfi coast. If you and your loved ones are ready for an experience and love to party, this location is for you!
