If these walls could talk, they'd tell stories of great celebrity guests like Jackie Kennedy living la dolce vita at this historic palazzo. In the quieter town of Ravello – sisters Sorento and Amalfi are pretty buzzy during the summer months – the views are stunning, especially from the infinity pool. The interiors are totally grand, with marble hallways, chandeliers, antique decor and great art on the wall. But the rooms are even more laid back, perfect for relaxing in – something Belmond always manages to get right. You could also go for the Villa Margherita with its private garden, chef and butler. There are loads of things to do, including cooking classes, boat trips, seven-hour Vespa tours and even history classes for little ones. Our pick? The lemon field tour, which always smells amazing.
