The collaboration brings the Escape 2023 line directly to guests, with a temporary boutique on the hotel grounds stocking swimsuits, caftans, mini-dresses and headwraps designed for summer living on the Amalfi Coast. The curated selection emphasizes effortless elegance and resort-ready pieces, allowing visitors to dress in Valentino while enjoying panoramic sea views and relaxed service. In addition to the boutique, guests receive special Valentino accessories during their stay, such as branded sunglasses and keychains, enhancing the sense of a personalized, fashion-forward escape.
Mariella Avino, managing director and co-owner of Palazzo Avino, explained the partnership’s cultural resonance: “Growing up in an Italian family when talking about fashion, Valentino was the brand, was the designer, and is linked to Italian history so deeply, and I could not think of a better partner to align our hotel with.” Her words underscore how the collaboration celebrates Italian heritage, craftsmanship and style while offering guests a memorable seasonal experience.

Palazzo Avino itself is steeped in history and refined hospitality. Housed in what was once a 12th-century private villa owned by an Italian noble family, the building was transformed into a luxury hotel in 1997. Since then, the property has attracted discerning travelers seeking exceptional service, classic decor and commanding views of the Mediterranean. The hotel features 33 rooms and 10 suites, each appointed to reflect the site’s historic charm while providing contemporary comforts.
Beyond its elegant accommodations, Palazzo Avino offers culinary distinction with a one-Michelin-star restaurant, where carefully crafted menus and seasonal ingredients complement the hotel’s sophisticated atmosphere. Guests can relax by the outdoor heated pool overlooking the coastline, savoring the combination of warm sunshine, sea breezes and panoramic vistas. The hotel’s intimate scale and attention to detail make it an ideal setting for a fashion collaboration that values heritage, craftsmanship and the art of la dolce vita.
The Valentino pop-up and the Clubhouse by the Sea takeover are designed to enhance a summer stay at Palazzo Avino, giving visitors the opportunity to experience high fashion within a storied coastal retreat. Whether browsing the boutique, wearing a Valentino swimsuit by the water or enjoying a meal at the Michelin-starred restaurant, guests are invited to immerse themselves in an Italian summer shaped by elegance and timeless style.
