Villa Maria is a beautiful oasis in Ravello. Our family loved everything about our stay there. The rooms are well appointed, the food and views fantastic. Best of all the employees were truly wonderful. From the Maria-Grazie, Erika, Maria on the reception desk to Pepi and Nando in the restaurant and housekeeping (among many many others) we were extremely well taken care of.
I just can’t say enough nice things about Villa Maria and the staff. And Lola the dog of course.

Return to Ravello

We had been to Ravello 30 years ago and stayed at Villa Maria. Everything was top class and we enjoyed our return. We had a car which we parked at Hotel Giordano. We went to Villa Cimbrone, Capri, Pompei and Positano.

We opted for a partial ocean view and booked $706/ night.Upon arrival we were escorted to basement suite with small courtyard. Same level as noisy housekeeping staff. Our room was never cleaned (housekeeping staff indicated they were very busy!!) had to ask for clean towels. Very disappointed.

Villa Maria is not only absolutely stunning, but they really go the extra mile to make you feel welcome. Everyone was super polite and helpful. Please be advised that this hotel is towards the top of the hill. The porters will assist you with your luggage, but know you'll be walking up a good amount of steps daily as you explore the town. Overall, an incredible experience.

We had a reservation made before Covid to attend a friend’s wedding that had to be postponed indefinitely. I got in touch with the hotel to ask for a refund and they refused and said I had to go back to Expedia and deal with them to maybe get a voucher. This felt unfair considering it’s up to the property to decide, and showed a huge lack of empathy given the unprecedented circumstances of a pandemic. Really disappointing customer service which makes me not want to give them a second chance.

Wonderful
surprise in Ravello! Hidden gem of a hotel. My only thing to improve upon is that you cannot reach the hotel via car. The transport must stop in Ravello near the tunnel, and they didn’t tell us they provide a porter service to bring your luggage from the square to this idyllic villa. So we lugged our baggage up the windy road to the hotel (wonderful exercising!). On the way back we used the porter! Beautiful spot and the highlight of our vacation.

Beautiful room and views even in a garden view or “no view room”. Expedia is not my favorite, but this place is great so one way or another try to make it happen. Also, you get a bit of a discount at the restaurant, and of the 12 days we spent in 4 different towns/cities in Italy, this may have been our favorite meal. Excellent service and very friendly staff!

Great Hotel with superb view

Lovely hotel and great staff, it's a little old fashioned but in a good sort of way. We stayed in two rooms but the second 19BIS was a nightmare it was so tiny and nowhere near enough space to unpack and get your cases away.
Eat on the terrace for the experience but I was very dissapointed with the Lobster ravioli it tasted of literally nothing.

This is a relatively older hotel. The bed was hard and the hotel was all in all pretty dated. However, they do a great job maintaining the grounds etc.

The view of the Amalfi Coast from the hotel was not great. I’d definitely stay on the Belmont Carouso side of Rivello next time. The restaurant on the front terrace was nice, which is a nice reward since you’ll have to climb about 200 steps to get from the square to the hotel.

All in all, I love Rivello but would definitely stay at the Belmont Carouso instead.

The hotel staff were phenomenal, but the room was not perfect.

Besides that we were very pleased with the hotel and would stay there again!

Nice option for Ravello

Great hotel with helpful and very friendly staff. Food and service are excellent; and the rooms and view are great. Loved our stay.
If you are challenged by stairs this may not be the hotel for you. It's up off the main square, and a hike up to the hotel via stairs or a via a ramp pathway. A positive consequence of this the great views. However, if you can manage stairs, then this a great spot - you just need to be prepared.

Disappointing

We were disappointed with this hotel having booked a Superior double room with sea view which was the equivalent price of a non-sea view room at a five star location. The room was very basic, no bath robes or even complementary water for that price. The bath tub was dirty when we arrived and we had to ask for it to be cleaned, the room smelt like it needed airing. Perhaps this was because it was right at the beginning of the season but rooms should be checked for quality control. It was cleaned as requested after we left the room. We asked for iron and was told that they couldn't give us one because it was a fire hazard and that they would iron it but only in return for a fee. I travel a lot but I've never experienced this, when an iron is not given to the room then the ironing is usually done for free. There was a sign saying if you stain the towels then it would be charged - this is also the first time I have seen such a thing. The room was shoddy - for example you could see the wires from behind the hairdryer fixing in the wall in the bathroom, one of the bed side lamps was not working. There is hardly a view of the sea. The cheaper rooms may be good value - I did not see them - but I wouldn't recommend the more expensive rooms. They were definitely not worth what we spent.

Wonderful stay

Villa Maria is a gorgeous, clean hotel with lovely amenities. Daily cleaning service of the rooms was top notch, the terrace & restaurant had lovely food, all of the staff were accommodating & incredibly friendly, and their recommendations for restaurants & activities were great. It’s a fairly small town, but perfect for day trips to Amalfi, Positano, etc. We stayed over Easter, which fell in late March this year, so the hotel was fairly quiet and we had lots of common spaces to ourselves. The cooking class with Vincenzo was a great experience, but maybe a touch expensive at €180/pp. If you arrive by car, be warned that the town of Ravello has very narrow streets to navigate to the parking lot, but we made it without a problem and alternatively the parking attendants can surely find you & help. Overall wonderful stay & we would definitely return!

Beautiful hotel, stunning views

This hotel is gorgeous with a lovely restaurant and stunning sea views. The only downside is that it must be accessed by foot for about 5 minutes uphill. Fine for most people if you have a suitcase with wheels, and they do offer a transfer service in summer for anyone with mobility issues. The views and location are worth the short walk.

Lovely hotel

We stayed in Villa Maria for one night during our honeymoon. We called the hotel to let them know we were close to their parking, where we were met by staff who parked the car and brought our luggage to the hotel (a bit of a walk from parking). We enjoyed cocktailed drinks by the pool at Villa Maria's sister hotel and a lovely dinner at Villa Maria's restaurant. Our only complaint is that sleeping was difficult with the noise coming from people who were partying outside of the hotel late, late into the night. The room was warm so we had to keep the doors to the balcony open. Still, very much worth the stay.

Sweet dreams in Ravello

Villa Maria is located on a stairway leading up from the charming town square in Ravello. Our \"family\" room had a beautiful view of cliffs and ocean looking toward Amalfi. Big room with a king bed and two large twin beds that convert into love seats for our children. Villa Maria is particularly charming. The dinner on the terrace at night is breath-taking and the breakfast is good too. We only stayed one night, but we wish we had stayed longer. Ravello is much nicer than Amalfi and the other towns below, especially since the hotel has its own parking lot. Parking along coast (Amalfi drive) is nearly impossible.

The hotel was lovely. The staff was incredibly helpful, the breakfast spread delicious, the location convenient (though everything is in Ravello), and the views unbeatable.

Beautiful hotel in Ravello, one of three open in winter. Unfortunately dining room was not open due to time of year but there were a couple of others open for meals which were very good. Hotel has a view down the mountain to the sea, breathtaking. They also have a policy of upgrading your booked room if availability is there, which it most likely is in winter, and we benefited from this to a room with a balcony and full view of the ocean.

Not a Four Star

We stayed here for three nights during part of our honeymoon. The hotel was...fine. I have to say I expected more from a hotel with a four star rating. It wasn't bad, but I don't think it deserves four stars at all. The common areas - restaurant, breakfast area - are indeed nice. The room, however, wasn't very nice in my opinion. The bathroom and shower seemed quite small. The bed seemed old and felt very uncomfortable. That was the worst part - you expect to sleep well and feel relaxed in a four star hotel. Also be aware that the pool is actually not at the hotel, but at the sister hotel that is maybe a five minute walk.
