My husband and I booked this place as a cute, inexpensive place to stay that actually has parking. Make sure you rent a small car because the parking lot is definitely a squeeze! The staff are very friendly and helpful. The views are incredible --we loved sitting on the terrace overlooking the ocean while we ate breakfast. The A/C works very well and the rooms are super clean and comfortable. Fantastic value for the money, especially for the Amalfi Coast!

Wow, this place was the best decision we made of our very lengthy Europe trip. For starters, I’m so grateful we chose to stay in Ravello. We went by some other areas by the sea and it seemed like standing room only. Ravello was absolutely breathtaking, with a very fun and charming town center, but without the “cruise ship” crowded feeling of the tourist stops. Second of all, this place is absolutely wonderful. It felt like “real Italian” experience. The lady checked us in hours after we anticipated and was so kind after we kept her waiting. Despite us arriving so late, she went as far as walking us to the town - ten minutes away- to show us where we could find food. She phoned ahead to ensure the kitchen would be open and would make us something. She stayed and helped us with a few other items. The breakfast was amazing too. Eating on the terrace overlooking sunrise with delicious espresso and a variety of fresh baked was surreal. As far as the room, it was clean and pristine, bed was comfortable and the view was epic. The hotel is an easy walk (with stairs - as expected due to being in the Almafi coast) to the town center. Some additional extras was the fact the Villa organized ALL of our transportation, made it super easy. They coordinated a boat tour on our behalf which was without a doubt the highlight of our trip. Thank you Gala Residence team for making this such an amazing experience and giving me a taste of southern Italian hospitality at it’s best. I won’t forget this experience and hope to come back.
