We had a wonderful stay. Tim was so helpful, giving us a ground floor room. Everything was just right. Breakfast was a feast and the back garden area was a serene place to eat. The location couldn’t be better as it’s only a six minute walk to two of the UNESCO World Heritage sites.

This is a most beautiful place for your stay in the centre of old Ravenna! It has a wonderful garden at the back with tall trees and flowers, sitting areas and birds flying about.
Generous breakfast, fresh fruit, cold cuts, cereals, pastries etc.
Very friendly and helpful staff, large rooms. Small number of rooms, family run. Within short walking distance of some of the major sites to see fabulous mosaics.
We did not travel by car, but heard that there is parking available.

Wonderful, charming family run B&B

Wonderful, charming family run b&b. The owners are lovely, friendly and very helpful and will go out of their way to please. We thought we had booked a single room but actually got 2 rooms and 2 bathrooms! So my 7 year old son had his own en suite! Rooms were clean, beds comfortable, lovely hot shower. Breakfast was mix of cereals, breads, jam, Nutella, croissants, yogurt and fruit. And fresh tea and coffee. There is also a small garden with a fluffy pet rabbit. it is just a few minutes walk to the centre of Ravenna. If i ever come back i would definitely stay here again.

A real find, a delightful B&B within walking distance of the historic centre of town - but in a quiet residential area. We stayed for 3 nights in March. Rooms were large and comfortable, with a view over the garden (some rooms open onto their own terrace) If you’re lucky you may spot the owner’s pet rabbit on the lawn! Bathrooms well equipped and spotlessly clean. Good breakfast. A warm welcome from the owner, who was very helpful with directions, restaurant recommendations etc. Highly recommended

We managed to find the b&b despite the one way system but the owner had popped out despite us giving an arrival time window. We waited in the car on the street ok and were then able to park in his gated parking just up the street. They provided a kettle and milk etc on request for me to make tea in the room. Location, breakfast and outside space were excellent and much appreciated. The mosaics in town are well worth visiting and the town has a nice vibe.

The host and hostess were friendly and very helpful. The rooms were large and clean. The breakfast was delicious and abundant and the garden is beautiful and welcoming. My only disappointments were the flat pillows and poor air-conditioning.The pillows were like sleeping on a folded sheet and I don't think the room temperature ever dropped below 75 degrees F despite leaving the ac on

quiet charm and hospitality

Staying at the Ai Giardini di San Vitale was a thorough pleasure. Our hosts were cordial and attentive. The breakfast buffet was superb; the gardens; stunning and delightful (although rainy weather prevented us from enjoying them fully). The rooms were spotless and clean; the beds very comfortable. There is a large comfortable 'common area' for dining and relaxing. We enjoyed meeting other guests. The residence is a converted and repurposed 19th century convent/church, with some original aspects still intact. The location is very good, very quiet, perched just above the Largo Giustiniano.

Peaceful hotel with a charming garden

This is a charming hotel with a wonderful garden view. It’s clean and conveniently located. It could use some updating, a bit of a refresh, but the overall aesthetic experience is lovely. That said, the elderly, male owner was forward and for the first time in my solo travels, there were moments I felt uncomfortable being alone in the house with him - and given that there are only 6 six guest rooms, there were inevitably moments in watch I was alone.

We loved this very well located, quiet, pleasing accommodation in Ravenna. After parking our rental car in a free lot a half-block away, we were able to walk to all the beautiful sites within the Ravenna city walls, return back to our room for a rest and then walk out for an evening stroll and dinner in the very charming old city.

Great choice

Booked this on a recommendation from Lonely Planet. It was amazing. The owner is the most friendly and helpful person. The property is walkable from most of the churches we wanted to see (not super close though, and the country was in the middle of a heatwave when we visited). Morning breakfast is very generous. Our room was spacious, even the bathroom was huge. Extremely clean and nice powerful AC, which was sorely needed.

Lovely hotel/B and B near center of Ravenna

Our hosts Concetto and Monica were delightful. They recommended good local restaurants and cafes. The hotel is small, with six rooms. We had the upstairs room with a garden view. Breakfast is served on the patio in nice weather. It is a nice opportunity to chat with other guests if you like. There is a wide choice of breads, fruit, yogurt, cereals, and Italian coffee cakes. We would definitely stay there again. Concetto even gave us a ride to the train station, as it was raining and we couldn't get a taxi.

Family run B&B in beautiful Ravenna!

Pretty, family-run B&B in a neighborhood adjacent to the main downtown area of beautiful Ravenna. The hosts are very kind. We checked in late and they even arranged locked parking for us just down the street from the hotel. The building itself is showing some age and the rooms have not been renovated recently, but if you're not expecting the Ritz Carlton I would highly recommend this place for it's locaiton and service.

Lovely B&B with friendly helpful hosts

This is a lovely B&B with a glorious garden (although sadly the two days we were in Ravenna it rained unseasonably!)Everything you could want at a very good price. Helpful owners and we were even given a lift to the station at the end of our stay. Excellent breakfast and everything we could have wanted in our room. Close enough to the sites but quiet.

Centrally located, clean, elegant B & B

A beautiful B & B, situated in a quiet street near the heart of Ravenna, we had only a 5 minute walk from our front door to the Basilica. There is street parking available, and we never worried about our car once, as the area is very quiet and safe. Our room was clean, decorated in a stark white style, had air-con, TV, and a nice sized en suite toilet, with bidet and shower.
Our room led directly out to the terrace, where we could eat breakfast if we liked. The morning we wanted to do just that, of course it was raining! We ate inside, in the spacious dining area instead. Coffee, tea, juices, water, croissants, rolls, meats, cheese, cake...all were on offer and all were delicious.
Our hosts were delightful and full of smiles and chatter. Between them, they speak English, Italian, French and German. They were very helpful with restaurant suggestions, and when we forgot something at the restaurant one evening, our host happily contacted the maitre d' and made sure they had it for us when we came by. We had to get up very early on our final day but it was no matter - we woke to a full, hot breakfast, to see us on our way.
A wonderful little hotel, we would highly recommend it.

Chambre avec vue sur jardin bien calme et tres agreable. Toute équipée et bien propre. La maison manque un peu d'insonorisation mais les hôtes n'etaient pas bruyants. Le gite est tres bien situé pour une visite a pied de la vieille ville. Un bon repos. Juste a indiquer que les serviettes n'ont pas besoin d'être changées au quotidien si l'on ne le demande pas.
