Palazzo Confalone (Hotel Palumbo)
Ravello, Campania, Italy.
Formerly named after its founder, Pasquale Palumbo, who together with his wife, opened the very first Hotel Palumbo in Ravello in 1875, the hotel has attracted numerous Hollywood celebrities in its time: Gina Lollobrigida and Ingrid Bergman to name but two.
However, the most historic figure to have sojourned at the then Villa Episcopio is undoubtedly Richard Wagner. Indeed, the piano upon which he would compose new works while staying at the hotel is still very much in use.
History-enthusiasts will no doubt prefer to stay in the older part of the hotel (Palazzo Confalone) rather than the more design-led annexe (Casa Palumbo).
More information to be uploaded soon.
