Recently enlarged and modernized, the hotel lies in the center between cloisters of pine trees of the Villa Rufolo, from which the hotel takes its name, and the road leading to the Villa Cimbrone. Mr. Schiavo and his family take good care of their guests. The view from the sun decks is superb -- chairs are placed on a wide terrace. The attractive pool sits amid an elegantly landscaped garden, overlooking the sea.
