Independent, Ravello Hotels

We happened along Hotel Graal while searching through TripAdvisor and are so happy that we did. Sure, everyone comments on the view....and it certainly is stunning.... breath taking in fact ! Just as amazing was the equally appealing hotel staff. Antonella ! you were wonderful. Helpful in every way and patient with our every request. Our room was everything we could ask for. The adjoining restaurant (Al ristoro del moro) food selection and service was wonderful. Just be aware that the hotel and restaurant are not associated and you may not charge your meals to your room. Not really an issue....it's just a matter of knowing this. If Amalfi Coast is your destination, we would strongly recommend considering Graal as your home away from home. The drive to the hotel is and will always be a wonderful and fun experience ! To the staff at Graal, our compliments and thanks for such a wonderful experience !

Me and the wife did not want to leave. Ravello is a very peaceful and romantic area. Spent Sat night walking the area and enjoying the views. Went to church Sunday morning and relax in court area in front of church afterwards. Shopped local stores. Best place ever for romantic stay and views.

Wonderful stay. Right next to the main piazza for convenience. Provided a lovely breakfast each morning in a nice patio setting. Very friendly staff willing to help when asked.

The hotel is more than just a hotel, you feel the lovely energy at the first time you go in the garden. Rooms are very comfortable and romantic. I would definetly recommend to stay there.

The hotel is situated on top of a hill. The scenery is breathtaking! We were greated by la signora Menna, a wonderful lady. She was very accommodating and very pleasant to deal with. The hotel has a pool and a very large terrace overlooking the gorgeous landscape below, very spectacular! We booked through expedia for 2 quadruple rooms. Rooms were very spacious with a full service kitchenette. The only unfavorable comment I have is that we found the 30.00 euro cleaning fee per room quite extensive as we only stayed for one night and an additional hotel fee of $45.00 per room was charged as they stated that additional beds were put in the rooms to accommodate 4 people per room. As previously stated we had booked for quadruple rooms, therefore had prepaid for 4 beds per room - hence the additional 45.00 should not have been charged. Overall, in spite of the additional fees, based on scenery, la signora Menna's great service and room size, we would definitely stay at this hotel again. In addition, parking for a 9 seater van was available with no problems. Thank you signora Menna!

Villa Rosa is made up of 9 self catering apartments built into the side of the mountain. We were in apartment 5 which had stunning views down to the small town of Atrani and the sea. The apartment was basic but spotlessly clean. We were met on arrival by the villa's agents (Paola) she was very friendly and very helpful as Mr Nicola the head gardener and the on site contact didn't speak a word of English. If you struggle walking this is not the holiday venue for you. There are approximately 300 steps of all shapes and sizes from the apartment to Atrani, walking down takes about 10 minutes, however the walk back is much longer and more difficult. There are buses from Atrani which I'm told will stop outside Villa Rosa. Tickets must be bought from the Tobacconist in Atrani, you cannot pay on the bus. We choose to walk and by the end of the week our legs were accustomed to the walk. If you are a light sleeper then I would advise ear plugs, the church bells ring on the hour and then every 15 minutes throughout the day and night. There are also a few local cockerels that start crowing about 4am and go on for a few hours.

We just returned from an amazing stay in Hotel Bonadies. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and we were delighted to be upgraded upon arrival. Our room was lovely with an amazing view of the coast from the terrace. It was clean and spacious and we were thrilled with the turn down service at night. It really is such a calm and relaxing hotel. The pool area is perfect for chilling out and the water is very clean and refreshing. Towels for the pool are also provided. Breakfast is standard Italian buffet with choice of tea or coffee. We ate in the hotel one night and really enjoyed our meal. There is wifi in the public areas of the hotel and the owners' dogs are adorable! The hotel is in a great location, only a five minute walk to the square. We walked down to Minori one of the days and enjoyed a lovely afternoon on the beach. Only €10 for two beds and an umbrella. The water was amazing but beware of the jellyfish! It is about a 60 minute walk down and back. Tougher on the legs coming back! Our favourite meals of the holiday were in Villa Maria and the restaurant in Hotel Parsifal which is right beside Bonadies, out the front door and on the left. We also loved having having drinks and snacks in Caffe Calce in the square. The staff there are also very friendly and professional. Villa Cimbrone and the Ruffalo Gardens are well worth visiting. We loved Ravello and Hotel Bonadies and will be back to stay there next year for our wedding.

The hotel is very pretty with superb surroundings. Ravello is a great base. The staff couldn't be better. Drinks were reasonable. Expedia has it as a 4 star although their website says 3. I would say it's a 3.5. We both said we would stay there again.

The Palumbo Hotel is an enchanting masterpiece. Every minute is a feast for the senses. The decor was superb and the staff was very accommodating. It is in a very good location, and there is a charming little cafe next door. I would definetely return to this hotel if I am lucky enough to go back to Ravello some day.
