Residence Le Villette

We arrived by ferry into Amilfi and had taxi drive us up the hill into Ravello, cost $50 euro, Deago welcomed us as we arrived at the entrance, the rooms are very basic, saying that it has everything we need for our 4 nights. Deago showed us around the property which is set over 4 levels. My wife was a little concerned that the room had no aircon as the temperature in Ravello was 35 dgs, Deago brought in a fan and that did the trick, the room was very large with big bedroom kitchen, dining room. They were very accommodating, we had washed that needed to be done and they took it away and did this free of charge. Our daughter was getting married and her hotel was only 100 metres from our hotels. This was a perfect place to stay if you’re traveling on a budget. If your after relaxation they have a very deep pool (water was cold ) and roof top sun loungers that were perfect for sitting back and reading a book. The Ravello square is only 2 mins walk from this hotel, we recommend this property.

We spent a week here in July having wanted to visit Ravello and the Amalfi coast for along time. I have no hesitation in saying it was one of the loveliest, most memorable holidays we’ve ever had. Our apartment at Le Villette was basic and slightly quirky in its furnishings but it was clean, quiet and perfectly comfortable - good value for the money. The staff were friendly and helpful too. However, the setting of the apartments is priceless. A fabulous, large sun terrace looks out over the hills towards Scala and down to the coast. Beside it is Villette’s good-sized swimming pool (for this region), in a secluded and pretty setting and with more breathtaking views across the valley. A further bonus for Villette residents is that the apartment complex is right in the centre of Ravello, about 3 minutes walk from the main square. So although the block doesn’t have its own facilities such as a bar or restaurant, there is plenty of choice in Ravello itself as well as just the sheer beauty of the town to enjoy plus its stunning views of the coastline. The whole area also has lovely walks through magnificent scenery, glorious gardens to visit and a good bus service down to the coast.
