La Rondinaia is a villa in Ravello on the Amalfi Coast in southern Italy.

Initially, the property was part of the Villa Cimbrone, owned by Ernest Beckett, 2nd Baron Grimthorpe.

[4][5] While he owned the villa, Vidal hosted Paul Newman, Greta Garbo, Princess Margaret, Mick Jagger, Bianca Jagger, Andy Warhol, Jed Johnson, Bruce Springsteen, Tennessee Williams, Italo Calvino, and Hillary Clinton.

[6][7] Critic David Cunningham referred to La Rondinaia as "perhaps the last great author's home/artistic salon".

[8] After his longtime companion Howard Austen died in 2003, and due to his failing health, Vidal posted it for sale around 2004 for around €14,000,000.
