Overall:
Overall, we enjoyed it. It definitely is not a property for anyone with a small child, as there are several different levels. And the stairs to the bedroom is really a ladder, but we were OK with that. There are two outside lounge areas and a nice patch of grass, plus a rooftop clothesline with fabulous views.
Enjoyed Most:
The view and the locked parking area.
Unpleasant Surprises:
Quite a hike from town; dark bathroom.
Surrounding Area:
Lack of tourists, lots of good hiking.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Ravello was within walking distance....
Tips or Restaurants:
Don't plan on cooking while there, kitchen is only big enough for one person.
Bring good walking shoes as it really is 300 steps to town. But you will get in shape!
Directions:
We were met and escorted to the property, so it was painless.
Check In Out:
No problems, very quick.

Enjoyed Most:
The awesome view of the Mediterranean and the three different outdoor levels we had to enjoy the view from.
Unpleasant Surprises:
After coming from the Tuscany region, it was hard to be on a street with cars going by, honking etc., so we weren't used to the noise. It wasn't a big deal.
Surrounding Area:
We loved Ravello itself, small, quaint, but enough interesting things to explore for a day. We loved that there were hiking trails steps available to the neighbouring towns so that if you didn't want to take the bus you could walk I would recommend hiking one way only and taking the bus back. The location was central enough to easily take a bus to another area to explore Amalfi, Capri etc. but also not in the heart of the real touristy areas.
Nearby Events or Locales:
The centre of Ravello, which took about 10 to 15 minutes to hike up using the steps - I counted 180 steps, but probably more like 400 when you take into account that most of the steps are 2 to 5 feet apart. We walked up and down at least once a day and sometimes twice.
Tips or Restaurants:
If you plan to do laundry while you are there, bring some laundry soap. Also bring dish soap and spices. Our best meal out was lunch at Villa Maria. Outstanding cheese and ham crepe, glass of white wine, on the outdoor patio with a view to kill, for about 30 Euros for two. We also had a lovely dinner in the first restaurant you see when you get to the top of the steps when hiking up to Ravello from the Villa and turn right towards the Piazza. It's on your right. If anyone comes across the sad little cat we adopted while we were there, his head is crooked, he can't balance very well and makes some pretty unpleasant sounds when he tries to purr or eats. Please don't be afraid of him, he just needs someone to love him and feed him.

The view and patio.
Unpleasant Surprises:
The kitchen was not very convenient, very small. The bedroom was almost dangerous and would not work for any one that would be physically challenged.
Surrounding Area:
It was spectacular
Nearby Events or Locales:
Ravello. It was over 300 steps to the plaza.
Tips or Restaurants:
Bring good walking shoes.
Directions:
The roads are quite narrow and very curvy

Overall:
A lovely experience. We wanted for nothing and enjoyed the surrounding busy towns by being able to relax each afternoon in the pleasant surrounds of Ravello.
Enjoyed Most:
Theresa's warm and comprehensive welcome, the excellent outdoor dining room the garden swing and of course the view were everything we expected, plus more. It was lovely to be able to water the flowers and garden, and our 3-year old enjoyed the yard space to run around.
Unpleasant Surprises:
Nothing specific to the villa - however the local pool was under repair so we couldn't enjoy a swim.
Surrounding Area:
The village - great to shop for local foods and vines, Porquerolles - great day trip, the beaches and parks - great for three year old. The beaches of Positano were lovely.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Ravello - the main square is charming and a delightful place to sit and soak up the ambience of the area. The walk is steep but the return journey fulfilling. The town has a lot to offer history, shopping, ceramics, wines, churches, spectacular views and a selection of excellent resturants without the crowds found elsewhere along the coast.
Tips or Restaurants:
Be sure to enjoy Ravello, not just the surrounding beachside towns. The Salvatore and Hotel Rufulo have excellent restuarants. The cafes in front of the chapel have a great ambience. The Ravello Festival starts 1 July each year - for three months. Future travelers should bear this in mind when planning a trip to Ravello.
Check In Out:
Theresa was very helpful and welcoming. Thank You!

Overall:
Contact us if the property goes up for sale.
Enjoyed Most:
The terrace, garden and open feel to the property--very quaint. Also, Ravello was beautiful and we enjoyed walking up and down the numerous steps. Having a private parking area was also a definite bonus, as well as a roof area to hang laundrywet clothes. If this property were for sale, we would snatch it up and enlarge the kitchen.
Unpleasant Surprises:
The very small and tight kitchen made it difficult for more than 1 person to be in the space. The bathroom was always wet and dank. Lastly, one has to be very, very careful about food or crumbs in the kitchen, because the ants always found even the smallest crumb or dead insect on the floor.
Surrounding Area:
Exploring nearby Amalfi and Positano. We also enjoyed daytrips to Capri and Naples.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Ravello! Definitely within walking distance, but not for the elderly or someone with a heart condition or uncontrolled asthma who is unable to contend with the numerous and sometimes, very steep, steps.
Tips or Restaurants:
Our favorite restaurant was Cumpa Cosimo--great food and moderate prices.
