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 !

Over 300 steps from town centre but that gives you good views and away from other tourists. Very basic breakfast left in fridge for 2 days and room not made up after first morning. Need to be fit (and carry minimal luggage) to enjoy this b&b. Only a small bar up the street that opens at 4pm so may want to take extra food with you. Worth the effort.

Everything you could want in a B & B, except it is slightly hard to walk to especially if you have baggage and need to park a car. Otherwise, it's wonderful.

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!

An unexpected gem in the heart of the pedestrian only historic center of Ravello. Don't let the very reasonable rate lower your expectations because this hotel has it all. Steps from the Ravello Festival venue, Castle Rolofo, and its magnificant gardens, the hotel offers underground parking, and a roof top terrace that offers sun bathing along with spectacular views day and night. Rooms are immaculate, the Nespresso machine much appreciated, and the proprietress Yumi is warm and quick to be of help. I travel with my dog who was made welcome but remember not to leave him alone in the room as I did. Yumi was very professional about it which was sppreciated. Highly recommend.

Friendly staff, great views, all in all a lovely place to stay

Residenze Villa Rosa took my breath away from the moment I arrived. Perched on a near cliff-face overlooking terraced lemon groves and the sea. In the afternoon you could hear goat bells chiming in harmony and the scent of jasmine drifts in through the windows from the beautifully kept gardens that surround the apartments. Now it's true, if you have any kind of mobility problem this probably isn't the place for you. On arrival you either have to negotiate a steep path down from the gate from the road (where a bus from Amalfi can drop you off), or up 300 steps from the village of Atrani, but it's totally worth the effort. Once you arrive you feel that you've left the tourists behind and you're seeing the real Italy. It's incredibly romantic. Amalfi is 20 mins walk away with its huge selection of restaurants, but Atrani has some great little family run places to eat which are more authentic and cheaper. I stayed in Room 5 which has a large studio room, a comfortable bed, a great little kitchen, spectacular views and the biggest private terrace that I've ever seen. To stock the kitchen I just walked 10 minutes up towards Ravello to the Spar supermarket, and then on the way home I was coming downhill with my shopping. My one word on warning would be that Franco (who is wonderful) who runs the place doesn't speak a word of English. Having an Italian phrasebook in hand for check-in will make your life a lot easier. Really cant recommend the place enough. Thanks Franco!

We stayed in Ravello for a few nights for a friend's wedding before moving up the coast to Praiano and were made to feel very welcome by Pietro. The room was spacious and spotless and Pietro was pleased to offer extra towels and bring us coffee when requested. He even booked booked a meal for us one evening at Villa Maria. The breakfast on the terrace was lovely and it was nice to have a mix of fruit and pastries. The location was ideal for us, as we were very close to the piazza but not so close as to suffer from any noise disturbance. Although the wedding we attended was at a much more expensive hotel, we were very pleased with our choice and thought this hotel was excellent value for money. Hopefully we will have the chance to return.

The unfriendly staff and uncomfortable room (tiny bathroom and bad mattress) made my stay at Hotel Toro a disappointment.
