La Dolce Vita Ravello - Apartment with Balcony & Amazing View of the Amalfi Coast

We booked more than three months in advance and were told by phone that we would have two apartments next to each other. We were not newcomers to Ravello and had stayed in a lovely b&b next door previously. Madalina, the manager, promised two full bedrooms, a living room, and a terrace. We were asked to pay in full thirty days in advance, but after only a week Madalina phoned us to ask where the money was. We were surprised, but paid. When we arrived, we were given an apartment that had no living room or terrace and which had as a second bedroom a windowless space with a narrow sleeper sofa, which was not shown on the website. The adjacent apartment, with one bedroom, a living room and a terrace, had been rented to someone else, despite our understanding that it would be for us. This was the first night of our trip and we were upset and disappointed. The receptionist telephoned Madalina for us; she was extremely rude, saying that if we didn’t like it, we were free to leave. When we arrived the receptionist told us we would be getting a full fresh breakfast, but that offer was withdrawn by Madalina and we were left a basket of dry cookies and crackers. Madalina, a non-Italian who speaks English, berated two of our group in successive phone calls, including the person who had made the reservation. Eventually she offered another room, which was up three flights of stairs with no outside space. We refused. They also offered a terrace which was down another flight of steps (we had climbed close to fifty steps to get where we were). Wifi was non-existent in the sleeping areas and the only common space was a narrow “kitchen” where it was almost impossible for four people to sit at the table. The positives? A well-finished space with nice bathrooms. A beautiful view if only we had been able to enjoy it.

We had the best stay at La Dolce Vita. The apartment is very clean and the views are the best. We had no problems getting there. Ravello shopping is very good. Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. The host is also very helpful. We had a very memorable experience.

From the time of booking to leaving Guido and Lella were amazing! The place was gorgeous! Clean, comfortable and those views! Would stay again without hesitation! Thank you for your wonderful stay Guido! It was spectacular. Grazie Mille!

During our New Year's trip, we planned one of the stops in Ravello. There were doubts because the small town was described and we thought it would be boring. As a result, Ravello became the pearl of our trip. Thanks in large part to the La Dolce vita Ravello hotel and its owner. The hotel is conveniently located (5-7 minutes walk from the center and main attractions) The hotel is absolutely the same as in the photo and even better! Inside, everything is thought out to the smallest detail. White towels, shampoos in the bathroom. The kitchen where you can cook is very beautiful and comfortable. The views from the windows are breathtaking! Guido is always in touch and ready to help with any question! It was especially nice to receive a gift for the new year. Guido, thank you very much again! Ravellr is ideally located, you can live in it and travel somewhere every day. Ravello itself has many hiking trails, pleasant and delicious restaurants, and architectural monuments. A music festival takes place in the summer. We will definitely return to the city and stay only at this hotel. There is a large parking lot nearby - 12 euros / day. Very convenient.

We were a group of 9 and left very satisfied. The place has a stunning view, everything is clean, and the owners are incredibly hospitable. The ambiance was delightful, and every detail was just right. Everything was perfect, and we highly recommend it!
