"Great place to stay in Ravello. Located very close to the town center. The view from the pool is amazing!"

"Questa è la cittadina di Ravello, situata in posizione elevata sulla Costiera Amalfitana. La villa è splendida e dispone di un garage privato con porta automatica, una caratteristica fondamentale al momento della prenotazione, e non ha deluso le aspettative. La camera offre anche una vista mare e la colazione è stata gustata con un panorama oceanico impareggiabile. Salendo verso Ravello, si incontrano numerose piazze pittoresche e vie pedonali ricche di ristoranti. La famosa Villa Simbroney, costruita nell'XI secolo, si trova sulla cima della collina. Quando ho pianificato il mio viaggio in Costiera Amalfitana, avevo considerato di prenotare ad Amalfi o Positano, ma dato che avrei viaggiato in auto, in quelle località non c'erano quasi hotel con parcheggio privato. Pertanto, alla fine ho scelto Villa Giovanna a Ravello. La sua posizione elevata, la tranquillità e lo splendido panorama la rendono ideale per raggiungere in auto la Costiera Amalfitana, Sorrento e Napoli."

"L'hotel è molto confortevole e gode di un'ottima posizione."

"We stayed for 9 days in late September. Its not a B&B, there are 7 apartments over 2 floors. We stayed in the top leftmost (when looking out to sea) which I think had the best view. It also had a roof over the balcony so we could sit and watch the rain (it does rain!) When you arrive with luggage its best to get to Amalfi and catch the half-hourly SITA 5110 bus (there is a stand with Ravello written above it) Get off at the Ravello terminus (just before the tunnel) and walk back on yourself down ‘Via Della Republica’. It is easy to miss the right turn (see photo) onto ‘Via Cassanova’ because the "streets" in these little hillside villages are sometimes no more than alleyways with stairs. After climbing down the 56 steps you will see the gate (its lit but no sign!) into Ill Giardino Dei Limoni which is then another 69 steps down. The wooden front door has no sign but ring the bell and someone will come. First lets say that yes, it is 2 star and fairly basic in terms of equipment. There is no microwave or kettle and virtually no coat hangers. There is a toaster though and enough pots to make "the pasta" There is a cupboard full of biscuits and snacks and a fridge freezer with enough : milk bread butter. preserves, juice and yoghurt , cooked meats and cheese to last your entire stay. The bed is extremely comfortable (I had a memory foam topper that I didn’t unpack) The owner was amazing , He even opened up the garden fior us to sunbathe The large separate bathroom had a bath and separate shower cubicle with overhead and standard shower heads (very strong water pressure!) and plenty of space for toiletries; makeup etc and a hairdryer. You dont need to go up to Ravello to eat. There are restaurants on Via della repubblica (Sea view pizza) and an amazing bar set back on the bend in the road (with a kind of Grotto) You can walk down to the sea (ignore other reviews) you just rejoin ‘Via Cassanova’ and go down a lot of steps until you reach ‘Via Zia Marta’ (an actual road) . Then its left with a lot more steps down towards Minori (the Marmorata hotel is at the bottom) or right to merge onto Strada Statale (on the Ravello bus Route) which meets the Amalfi Drive coast road nearer to Atrani/Amalfi. You can get the bus either way (SITA 5220) to further up/down the coast. Minori and Atrani/Amalfi are walkable. I am an overweight 62 year old and I managed quite a lot of walking down steps. We minimised the "up steps" by taking the bus to Ravello and walking down. The taxis are extortionate (see photo of rates from Ravello to other towns), so even the comparatively rich Americans generally took the buses and the ferries. If you want to catch the ferry to Positano or Capri go from Minori as it won’t be as full. You buy ferry tickets at the booth on the harbour. You can also buy bus tickets online now (although the bus drivers don’t understand bar codes yet!) The ‘Unico Campania’ app is the easiest way to purchase the tickeets Finally (again ign"

"La posizione era fantastica, l'alloggio era pulitissimo e il soggiorno è stato davvero confortevole!! Anche i servizi erano fantastici! Ho fatto colazione in terrazza e mi sono divertito un mondo ad ammirare l'alba♪ Anche l'Ostria che hai consigliato in un post era un ottimo ristorante, ed è stato un viaggio meraviglioso!!"

"L'hotel non ha le caratteristiche degli ambienti, degli arredi, dei servizi di un 4 stelle. La camera di ampiezza regolare. aveva soltanto una piccola finestra con affaccio su una scalinata laterale. Abbiamo chiesto di poter pranzare ma ci hanno riferito che solo di sabato e di domenica il ristorante era aperto a pranzo. Abbiamo chiesto di poter cenare ma ci hanno detto che a causa di un banchetto organizzato nella terrazza dell'ultimo piano, sarebbe stato possibile solo dopo le 21:30, quando il personale di sala concludeva il servizio del banchetto. La colazione è sufficiente ma lasciata totalmente al self service. Gli arredi presenti negli ambienti comuni sono dotati, i divani con effetto affossamento, le sedie instabili. La piscina è panoramica ma molto piccola, con pochi ombrelloni e lettini per mancanza di spazio, al punto da non trovare posto. Tanti gli elementi che non hanno reso confortevole il soggiorno e, anzi, hanno generato delusione e profondo rammarico."

"Disappointing stay despite the excellent ratings Unfortunately, our experience at Mimì B&B was nowhere near what we expected based on the excellent ratings and beautiful photos. I stayed here with my 70-year-old mother, and from the beginning we encountered problems. Access to the property is extremely difficult, particularly with luggage. The most direct route involves a long and steep staircase, while the alternative route is considerably longer and still uphill. I understand that Ravello is a hillside town, but we walked extensively throughout Ravello during our trip and the specific access to this property was particularly challenging. Our biggest issue was privacy. Our sleeping area was directly behind a large glass door facing the restaurant. During dinner service, customers were seated directly outside our room. We could see people eating from our bed, and they could see us lying inside. To have any privacy, we had to keep the blackout curtains completely closed while the restaurant was operating. The outdoor areas were also disappointing compared with the impression created by the photos. We actually had to ask where some of the beautiful areas shown online were located, and only then learned that parts of those spaces were connected to the restaurant and subject to restrictions during restaurant service. The bathroom was extremely uncomfortable. The shower enclosure was tiny, the water flow was poor, and the temperature constantly changed from hot to cold. Because the shower was so small, there was practically nowhere to move when suddenly hit by cold water. There was also no key available to lock the bathroom door. We also found visible stains on our bed linen, experienced unreliable and intermittent Wi-Fi, and had several power interruptions during our final evening. However, what disappointed us most was the hospitality. Throughout the stay, we frequently felt as though basic requests were an inconvenience to the staff. Even obtaining ordinary wine glasses became unnecessarily difficult. The general attitude often felt cold and dismissive, and on several occasions we felt uncomfortable with the way we were looked at and spoken to. The final morning summed up the experience perfectly. Breakfast was supposed to be available until 10:00 a.m. and the included food was extremely limited — only one sandwich option was included, while the other options had to be paid for separately. We arrived approximately 15 minutes before breakfast ended, intending simply to take the included sandwich with us. There was no staff member attending the area when we arrived. When someone finally came to our table, it was approximately five minutes before 10:00, and instead of simply serving us while breakfast was still open, we were criticized for supposedly arriving “every day at 10.” This was not even true. We had only eaten breakfast there once before, at approximately 9:45 a.m. We decided to leave rather than continue the unpleasant interactio"
