Ravello. The Pool. This apartment is all about the location,views. & pool. The apartment itself is basic, clean, and comfortable, but for the money paid, I would expect better. Although I knew what to expect I was slightly disappointed overall. There are many steps down to this property due to its location, and it is difficult to locate at first. *This property is NOT for those with mobility or health issues as it is difficult to access with baggage. That said, the vista is exceptional, and Ravello is beautiful. The pool area is great also and the lounging area with same view is outstanding.

No water, fruit, or anything on arrival after a long hot travel day with difficulty accessing the place. No signage or directions and poor communication from the hostess.

so sorry but i didnt get the lady hosts name ! but she was exceptional , responding to my many questions on the run up to our booking and even helping with advise about the area ,best ways to get around etc the villa was fantasic the pool was clean and tidy and the pictures don't do the views justice

the fact we had to leave

The hotel manager, Eufemie, is a 20 on a scale of 1-10. She does whatever it takes to make her guests feel welcome. we could not have done with out her. the apartment was a house at some earlier point. large living room, dining, full kitchen. private patio overlooking ocean. bed comfortable.

Steps. anyone with mobility issues should think twice about booking. was almost 70 steps to get to our room and we were about the least number of steps. If it wasn't for Eufemia, we would have a very difficult time to get to our room.

Amazing villa, has a fantastic pool with a great view. The apartment was rather big, with a nice small garden to each apartment. The hostess was very kind and left us gluten-free cupcakes in the room because she knew I was intolerant.

There were a lot of small bugs (and bees) around, which is natural regarding the beautiful gardens of the villa, but should be considered nevertheless. The lights weren't great, but there was a lot of natural light. The pool isn't heated and was very cold (mid May)

We loved the location, right in the centre of Ravello and a short walk to the main square. The views from this place are absolutely incredible. The room was comfortable and had everything necessary, including good fans for the heat, an outside terrace, large fridge and kitchen facilities, as well as a separate bedroom and living area. The host was excellent at keeping in contact via WhatsApp and responding to any needs.

The pool was out of use due to a plumbing issue when we arrived. However Eufemia arranged for us to use the neighbouring hotel's (Hotel Rufalo) pool which was lovely. It is not a dislike, but we would add that some of the rooms are difficult to access and there are a lot of steps at the property to be aware of.

Villa Casale is the most beautiful place that I have ever stayed. The grounds themselves are picturesque, and the views are incredible. The pool was lovely, plenty of beds and it was never too busy. The apartment itself was perfect for our stay, it had everything we needed. The kitchen was well-equipped and they even provided us with a little basket with toasts, jams etc.. Also, our garden view apartment did not have AC (they did provide a fan) but somehow it was always perfectly cool at night despite the heat and humidity outside! Eufemia was very helpful and friendly before and throughout our stay. The location was amazing, just a few minutes from the main square, restaurants, shops etc., and basically next door to Villa Rufolo. The festival was on at Villa Rufolo during our stay so we were basically treated to free concerts which we could hear well from our garden (they did not go on until late at night and were not loud with the windows shut).

The only thing that wasn't so great was the shower temperature - it was either very hot or very cold.

You are staying there for the view, the pool and the close location to the centre of town- easy to walk to restaurants and some basic shopping A 20-30" Bus( limited schedule but 2 euro) we were only able to use it once or taxi to Amalfi (50-60 euro) where u can catch a ferry to Capri, Positano and Salerno This can get expensive but not the hotels Fault- just wanted to mention The town is busy enough but not super busy like Amalfi which I liked Eufemia was friendly and easy to communicate with- She met us in the town centre and brought us to our room which was wonderful because the villa Would be hard to find otherwise I would definitely stay there again!! Air conditioning was great Room had a fridge/toaster/hot plate as well As Utensiles/plates etc We did not use them but if we were staying for longer May have- although I am not sure where u would buy food Bed was comfy There was an outdoor area to our room where u can sit/eat with a lively view

Wi fi did not work in our room- read the reviews as this is a common complaint

Location was in the heart of Ravello. We were always glad to be able to walk a few steps from the centre/restaurants back to the apartment. Views were spectacular and pool was amazing. We travelled in October and although the weather was mild and pleasant the pool was very very cold-didn’t stop us though! Everything from communication, location and cleanliness was amazing

Sofa bed was a little uncomfortable but not a lot of time was spent sleeping so this would not stop us booking again

The location is perfect, our two bedroom apartment had a large veranda, overlooking overlooking valley and sea. The view was spectacular. The pool area is so clean and such a great size for the small amount of apartments they have on site. It was never overcrowded. The pool isn't heated and as we were visiting mid-September the pool was cold but once you got in, it was absolutely fine. Eufemia was so helpful and always responsive to messages, there were two huge thunder storms whilst we visited which led to the power going off and Eufemia was on hand at 3am in the morning responding back to me! The kitchen is well equipped for an Italian property, with a hob, microwave and toaster. There are a range of pots and pans, and there were a selection of olive oil, condiments, jams, tea bags and coffee on arrival which were much appreciated. I would highly recommend staying here, there are a fair few steps but there are step everywhere in Ravello! The apartment was about 3 minutes walk from from square and 5 minutes from from main bus stop! There are a lot of mosquitoes here but Eufemia had put mosquito plugs in each room so we didn't have any problems when inside.

Nothing, we really enjoyed our stay.

What a gem of a place. For starters it is in Ravello - this is an excellent start - but it really is in a prime Ravello location. A short walk from the bustle of the square and tucked neatly behind the famous Villa Rufolo with all of the views, it really is quite spectacular. There is no disputing this place is all about the views and the scenery. Available from every angle the grounds are beautiful, well looked after, offer an array of wildlife and flowers which set off the vista of the Amalfi coast to perfection. The pool is an absolute delight with ample sun loungers and if you are like me and find it hard to get into a chilly pool, this one offers no such problems. All set against that delightful backdrop is it hard to tear your eyes away. A perfect oasis of calm. Our villa was spacious and well equipped with everything you could need and more. Air conditioning worked a charm and the bathroom was clean and shower was powerful. Had great nights sleep in the bed as well. It has everything you need and is cool and clean. Not luxurious and relatively no frills - but charming and frankly if you want to sit inside you have come to the wrong place. The terrace was incredible with a table, chairs, deck chairs and clothes dryer but mainly - that view! It was just heaven to be able to sit out there and we spent all our time at the villa on the terrace. I adore Ravello and am thrilled to have found this charming spot and when we come back, I will absolutely stay here again. Loved it.

The actual villa could be improved I guess but to clarify there is nothing wrong with it at all and for the amount of time spent in it I found it perfect. I would prefer they kept the cost down and left the villas as they are :-) Those things that stop the tablecloth flying off in the wind would help - but a clothes peg also works.
