Vue magnifique , logement propre , très belle hospitalité et gentillesse de l’hôte
Déjeuner très copieux et variés préparé avec soin
Cadre très calme et apaisant
Je recommande vivement
Très bon séjour, immersion totale dans la vie italienne de Ravello. L’hôte ne maîtrise pas l’anglais mais ce n’est pas un soucie, on se comprend naturellement.
Ayez une bonne condition physique pour venir, il y a beaucoup de marches, mais pas un problème pour nous.
We absolutely loved our stay here, we only stayed for one night but the b&b was lovely, very traditional & the hosts couldn’t have been nicer.
The hotel itself was initially a bit tricky to find but once there it is easy to get around & only about 15 walk between either Ravello or Minori so was perfect place to explore. Also, the balcony & view were amazing
A nice peaceful area, a bit remote but that's not necessarily a problem. Great view towards Minori. Some fine home-cooked cake for breakfast. Lack of air conditioning was a minor issue, but it didn't get crazy hot in early July.
This place is quaint. The owner is a little old lady that baked us fresh coffee cake every morning for breakfast. She is very friendly but speaks no English, so her son helped us at check in. The view is wonderful.
The main downside is that the place is almost impossible to find, even with a GPS. There is a very narrow road leading to it, so you need a very small car.
조금 추웠던 것만 빼고는 모두 친절하였고 뷰는 장관이었음. 비로 도로가 유실되어 걱정이긴했으나 대만족

Aspettative deluse rispetto a quel che prometteva il sito. Le camere sembravano più belle dalle foto e il luogo non sembrava tanto sperduto com'è risultato. Una stradina strettissima ed impraticabile per raggiungere la struttura che esternamente lascia un po' a desiderare. In più dal sito avevo prenotato e pagato la camera con terrazzo ma al momento del check-in mi è stato detto che quella non era disponibile e che si trattava di un errore del sito. Prezzo non adeguato alla struttura che non offre nulla di speciale ma il minimo indispensabile, neanche la tv prende bene. La pulizia non ottimale: polvere sulla finestra e capelli sul letto. L'unica nota positiva è il panorama ma per il resto non ci ritornerei.
The location is superb, the bed is extremely comfy, breakfast is amazing and the host goes above and beyond to help you enjoy your stay. She often dropped us off into the square so we didn’t have to walk up the steep hill. 5/5 for this location!
I cannot say enough about this B&B. My husband and I traveled around Italy for our honeymoon and this was our favorite place to stay! From the moment we checked in we felt right at home. Marie and her son greeted up with fresh lemonade on their beautiful terrace that overlooked the mountains and the sea. But the magic began when we entered our own room. It was beyond clean and charming. To make it even better we had a private terrace that overlooked the most beautiful view and Marie made us a homemade tiramisu to celebrate our honeymoon. It was a great location for visiting Ravello but having some privacy in a quiet area. Sunrise views in the mountains and then at night the music from the Minori below and Ravello above carries to the terrace - so romantic! We loved everything about our stay and cannot recommend it enough!
Unser Zimmer war liebevoll eingerichtet und die Aussicht von unserer Terrasse auf die Amalfiküste war ein Traum. Die Gastgeberin ist eine herzliche ältere Dame.
Merveilleux séjour de 3 jours dans ce B&B au milieu des plantations de citronniers. L'accueil a été des plus chaleureux. Notre hôte est aux petits soins surtout au petit-déjeuner avec gâteau aux fruits fait le matin tot. Chambre très confortable avec balcon, vue sur les plantations, les montagnes, les villages et la mer. Sommes très heureux d'avoir séjourné dans ce B&B tranquille et à proximité de Ravello qui est une belle petite ville.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Soggiorno tutto sommato accettabile.
Alcuni suggerimenti per la struttura possono essere quello di dotare la stanza di aria condizionata (non basta il ventilatore ad agosto) ed indicare nella descrizione la presenza di una rampa di scale di circa 90 gradini.
Though we enjoyed our stay thanks to an amazing host Anna, the B&B is a bit isolated. It is a quite a bit of a hike to any restaurants or the town center. Also the taxis will not come in all the way since the road near the property is narrow. Even if you get dropped closest to the property there is another 90 steps you have to climb. Definitely not recommended for people who can not move around easily. The view from the property is breathtakingly beautiful. Anna provides ample breakfast including fresh figs from her trees! Yummy! She does not speak any English but I used an app to translate from English to Italian and had no problem communicating. Anna’s sweet nature made our stay enjoyable :)) She is a sweetheart!

Really far out
It's so far out...it's a trek to go up there with the car...it's also hard to reach by foot once you got there
Expedian sivuilta ei ilmennyt että paikka oli B&B, expedian sivuilla ei mainittu että sijainti on huono , vaikeat ,hankalat kulkuyhteydet.Taksit eivät suostuneet ajamaan kapeaa tietä majoituspaikkaan. Todella pettymys expedian informatioon paikasta.
Hostess was such a lovely person! She baked a cake just for us and helped with maps. Amazing view over the valley. Breakfast could be proved by adding something with no sugar. Otherwise perfect!
What a great place, the villa was a lovely old house, modernised, yet charming. Lots of steps to & from, but the walk up was lined with beautiful plants and shrubs, and loads of pot plants
Terraced farming all around, loads of lemon trees. And the views, just breath taking. We overlooked the valley, and the bay, just beautiful.
Our room was very clean, comfortable, and en suite with lovely hot shower
Breakfast every morning was a treat with our host, Anna. Homemade jams, and bread, with perfect cappuccinos! I must admit we did not do it justice. Such a lovely place to explore Ravello and Amalfi from. Our host left a few local takeaway pamphlets around, and they even delivered. The local area was great to explore, beware of the very narrow, twisty roads though! We really enjoyed ourselves, and our lovely refuge was just what we needed after hustle & bustle of our busy lives. And near enough to the main square, nearby restaurants and bars.
היו לנו קצת בעיות תקשורת עם המארח ואלריו בצ'ק אין, אך עם רצון טוב העניין הסתייע בסופו של דבר. החדר במצב טוב וגם השירותים. היתרון הגדול: מרפסת הנשקפת לנוף הפרוש מטה - המפרץ, הכפרים, השדות... ארוחת בוקר - בינונית ומטה, יותר מדי מתוק לא עושה לנו את. נהפוך הוא.
