The view from my room was just beautiful, breath taking. just fantastic. I have never been to this part of Italy ( Ravello) and did not know realized that all building are built on the mountain side, LOTS of steps everywhere.. The location of the property was not indicated AT ALL off the main road therefore unable to find the place. I was told that the sign( Giardino dei Limoni) has been ordered and soon it will be easier to find it.GREAT news!!! Be prepared to go down lots of steps but once you reach the view is amazing. The WIFI is weak this issue needs to be addressed asap. The room was clean , fridge was stocked i had a balcony with a table/chairs and long chair/umbrella flowers all around. Again the view was spectacular.

Property advertised as “breakfast included” but we didn’t consider pre-packed tarts / bread (no toaster), opened cheese slices (still wrapped individually but how do you tell sell by date?) Apartment not properly cleaned; dusty, shampoo bottle left on top of cubicle, used scourers and cloths for our use in kitchen, bins area looked unkempt. Advertised as “60 steps” out of property to street hut this is misleading; from there it is another 80 steps to actual street level, and then it is a shuttle or 0.4 miles and 200 more steps to Ravello itself. The steps did not bother us, but beware if for whatever reason you want to avoid them.

I got very sick on the way on my motorcycle and thought I might pass out. It was fabulous to arrive at the wonderful little hotel with unreal views down to the bay.

Lovely time
Beautiful place to stay. Owners very hospitable and friendly. Be sure to clarify entrance to property as it is an unmarked laneway and owners don't speak English. This place is well worth the effort. ( There are some stairs to navigate) Get the local community bus down it cost 1 euro and bus from Amalfi goes frequently. We really loved staying here.

The room is ok, but the "full breakfast" that was written in the site is a lie because we got the minimum. There are about 140 uncomfortable stairs to go down and climb up that tired up enormously. The view was gorgeous, but apart from that pay attention to mention the stairs and the poor breakfast to people who look up this place.

Fabulous Biew!!
After carting luggage down more than 130 steps we arrived to a very average accommodation. It was relatively clean but could have used a little updating- and new sheets. However when you sit on the patio and take in the breathtaking view you can almost forget the steps and sheets. If you are very energetic and don't mind steps this is a good value...did I mention the view is to die for!

Great Value and View
The studio provides excellent value. Fantastic view, kitchenette, washer, which we used during our stay, privacy. The studio is in fact much better than it looks on the pictures, there is a flat screen TV and AC in the room. Nice cool breeze at night. It's about 20-25 min walk from the city center and the area is very safe and not bad at all as someone is describing... On your first day of arrival I'd recommend getting a cab either from Ravello bus stop (5 min ride) or from Amalfi as it would be easier with luggage, but after that no problem. Yes, there are steps here and there as there are steps anywhere on the Amalfi coast, one needs to climb up to experience the fabulous views... Owner Gregorio was very nice and helpful. I wouldn't rent a car while on Amalfi coast - extremely narrow and winding roads. SITA bus is the way to go.

Don't stay unless you have CAR
Please do not stay at this place if you do not have a car !! Myself and my friend are both in shape and love hiking and we did not have a car and this place is outrageous. It is in a cliff (literally) and to get from the closest town/ bus stop (ravello) to the bnb is 659 steps down, 320 up, 93 down and 10 up. If you opt out to travel back up that and choose the longer, but more downhill stairs to amalfi (second closest town, which to be honest, stay there) is about 1200 steps and 2 km walk. Also, breakfast included really means butter, nutella, yogurt just as a heads up. There's a fridge and stove but again, havefun carrying your groceries (we certainly did). He keeps the place clean and the AC is excellent and it is private but in the end if you don't have a car this place isn't worth the trouble. If you do have a car and say it shouldn't be bad, keep in mind if you like wine you probably shouldn't have to much at dinner or you won't be able to drive close enough back !

Beautiful view
A beautiful location with an amazing view. The hotel is a little hidden down some steps from the road and was very peaceful. It's quite a walk up steps to Ravello but not a problem of you're fit. There was a small kitchen with a fridge full of breakfast supplies.

Amazing views!
We chose this apartment for the location, views and cost and it didn't dissapoint. The view across the Amalfi coast from the balcony was stunning! The apartment was basic, and probably needs updating, but suited us fine. Kitchen was well equiped. Advisable to arrange a private transfer to/from the apartment as it is around 20 min walk uphill to the centre of Ravello, via lots and lots of steps, impossible with luggage. Due to the steps, anyone with difficulty walking or with a very young family would struggle. Gregorio the owner was really quick to reply to my emails and recommened a reliable taxi service.

Lovely rooms, fantastic view
Stayed for 5 nights as a couple. Lovely room, comfortable bed, small kitchenette with hob and large bathroom. Contained everything we needed to make basic meals and breakfast food was provided, as was tea and coffee. The terrace had the most amazing view which we could see from the bed when we woke up. The B&B is on a working lemon farm and we were regularly bought fresh lemons.

Lovely Views
Very beautiful and quiet. This studio is like an in-law studio, separate from the main house where the residents stay. It was amazing overlooking the views, very quiet, with a fully stocked kitchenette. Breakfast food was so-so, but similar to typical Italian-style foods for breakfast.

Great views.
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.

Spectacular Views!
This place was ideal! Although we had a little difficulty finding it because the street (Via Casanova) is actually a walkway, we soon realized that this is like many of the streets in Ravello. Once we figured this out, we walked down about 150 steps to "Giardino dei Limoni", admiring the views as we went! Remember, you have to go back up these steps too! It is for this reason ONLY that we gave it a 4 and not a 5 rating for convenience of location. Not ideal for luggage! The location is really convenient, however, to the main piazza.The room was exactly how it appeared in the photos and very clean. It had everything we needed, just bring your own shampoo, lotion etc. The views far exceeded our expectations! They were breathtaking and all to be admired from our own balcony! The bed was comfortable, the fridge was nicely stocked with edibles for the morning along with water, juices, milk and lots of espresso which was really wonderful! The lovely difference from most B&B's is that this one allowed us to enjoy our breakfast on our own balcony, in our pj's, admiring the views, at our leisure. Julia, who looks after things there, was lovely, friendly and more than helpful. Ravello is the perfect town and Giardino dei Limoni was the exactly the right choice for us! We hope to visit them again next year!

Awesome view
This would not work for someone who can not handle stairs. Like most properties on the coast, there are a lot of stairs. But the view makes it all worth it. Has well equipped kitchen and they had it stocked with milk, cheese, ham, breads, butter, jelly, yogurt, juices, bottled water (although tap water is great tasting), corn flakes, coffee, teas. We enjoyed this much more than the breakfast usually offered in other places. Hope to go back for a longer time. Very friendly and helpful owners.

Amalfi海岸から1.7 km程度だったので、海沿いの道を歩いて行こうとしたものの、山への上り口が良く分からず、小さなスーツケースとバックパックで太陽燦燦の中4時間歩き回らざるを得なかった。親切なおじさんに調べてもらって、ようやく近隣まで来たところで、近所の人に場所を教えてもらったが、非常に入り組んだ細い石畳の道や階段を通らなければ辿り着けず、また人しか通れない道沿いの入口には、ホテル名が印刷されたA4の紙が透明のクリアファイルに入れられて貼られているだけで、かつそれが濡れて折りたたまれた状態になっていたので、かなり分かり難い。ただ、コストパフォーマンスは良く、部屋は清潔で大変広く、バルコニーからの海や山の眺めは最高だった。夕刻に響く教会の鐘の音にも癒される。受付は無く、いきなり部屋に案内されて、チェックアウト時も勝手に出るシステムのようだった。朝食は、部屋に用意されていた。歩いていくにはかなり大変で、特に大きなスーツケースでは、体力に自信があっても不可能に近いと思われる。タクシーに乗車する際は、ホテルを出て坂を上がってかつ150~250段?程度の階段を上がって車の通れる道まで歩く必要がある(ホテルから歩いて5分強)。タクシーの駐車場も分かり難いと思われ、ホテルにメールを使って頼んでもらった方が良い(ホテルの人は英語ができないようだったが、メール対応は英語だった)。上記駐車場からAmalfi海岸までのタクシー代は45ユーロ(早朝や深夜は50ユーロ)だった(歩くルートだと1.7 kmだが、自動車道はRavelloを内陸側から回り込まなければならないので遠回りになる。所用時間は20分程度)。 詳細な地図を準備されることをお勧めする。

Ravello e il Giardino dei limoni
Il B&B è accogliente, la pulizia non è ottimale ed ha una carenza di colazione poiché non ha una scelta di prodotti adeguata, per esempio non ha la spremuta di arancia. La posizione è ottima ed ha una vista su Maiori e Minori da incanto, purtroppo la struttura non è raggiungibile in macchina ma devi fare a piedi circa 100 di metri tutti in discesa gradini e poi la salita, i gradini sono alti e la posizione non è agevole. Per questo risulta faticoso. E' una struttura per giovani no per anziani quale io sono. Si può perdonare, però, perché Ravello è un gioiello che invito a conoscere.

einfaches B&B mit traumhafter Aussicht
Wir haben gerade eine Woche in Ravelli verbracht. Die traumhafte Aussicht von der Terrasse des B&Bs überschattet alles. Sie lenkt zum Glück auch von der guten aber leider ziemlich in die Jahre gekommenen Ausstattung des B&Bs ab. Hervorzuheben ist die Gastfreundschaft des Besitzers. Es wurde Kaffee, Milch, Wasser, Toast, Marmelade und Butter für uns im Kühlschrank bereitgestellt. Also alles was man für ein italienisches Frühstück so braucht. ;-) Die vielen Stufen sind zwar eine Herausforderung, haben uns aber nicht gestört. Die Sauberkeit hätte allerdings etwas besser sein können. Im Bad und in der Küche waren deutliche Schimmelränder zu sehen. Alles in allem ein tolles B&B zu einem super Preis für den Ausblick.

B&B met hoog supermarkt gehalte!
Onvriendelijke man (zoon) die ons ontving, weinig interesse. Kamer prima, uitzicht schitterend vanaf balkon (iedere kamer eigen balkon). Ontbijt moet je zelf verzorgen, alles staat klaar in de (koel) kast. Kamer wordt tussendoor niet schoongemaakt en niet voorzien van schone handdoeken (wij waren er 4 nachten). Om bij de B&B te komen moet je met veel treden naar beneden, die je uiteraard als je weg wilt, ook weer omhoog moet. Kan zwaar zijn, zeker op hele hete dagen.

Giardino dei Limoni, Ravello
Giardino dei Limoni is a small B&B-styled hotel near the town of Ravello. Situated in the lemon groves, the view to the east along the Amalfi coast is spectacular. The hotel is relatively cheap and quite modest. The rooms are clean and spacious enough. All three rooms have balconies to the coast. The downside of the place is the location. It is situated on the hillside, so if you want to visit Ravello, be prepared for a steep climb. The entry to hotel is also through a staircase, so this place is not for those with disabilities or ill health. The staff is friendly and everything works out smoothly with them. No payments by credit card.
