B&B I Limoni

“Peaceful B&B with some drawbacks”

A peaceful and well-appointed B&B with nice rooms on the hillsides beneath Ravello. The main drawback, as previous reviewers have noted, is the length and steepness of the climb up to (and down from) Ravello. The hot water in the bathrooms is rather tepid. Credit cards are not accepted.

“Picture-perfect location & friendly host... it's hard to want more”

What is not to like at getting up in the morning and watching the glorious morning sun shine over the wonderful terraces, lemon trees and the Mediterranean sea. A simply incredible view. The location is both an advantage and a disadvantage (more on that on the negative side). The hosts, Luigi and his wife, were wonderful hosts, ready to help whenever they could. The room was very comfy (maybe the pillows could be softer, but that is very subjective), had everything we needed and AC (useful during the day, but less so at night). Breakfast is pretty basic and the Wifi very good (specially compared to other accommodations in Italy). Tip: Make sure you have all the basics with you (water, juice, sweets... whatever floats you boat). There is no store within a decent range and without going up the stairs. The only real issue is the location. The terrace and the view is totally incredible, however the downside is that you have to climb up or down some 200+ stairs which is no easy even for those is pretty good physical shape. One other minor issue is that that the running water is not always hot, but sometimes goes cold. Tip: go down the stairs if you want to go to Amalfi (you can even walk some 20 min... no need for bus) and when you go back stop in the center of Ravello. So you won't have to climb any stairs. Of course if you just want to go directly the center of Ravello there is no way around it.

“Great view/Arrogant host/ Stairway to Heaven”

My wife and I Stayed for one night in mid August 2019 because we wanted to stay one night in Ravello. The Good - view is amazing and room is quite decent. The Bad - host /old generation Italian male/ came across as very arrogant and made us feel as if he was hosting us for free. Lots of warnings… more

My wife and I Stayed for one night in mid August 2019 because we wanted to stay one night in Ravello. The Good - view is amazing and room is quite decent. The Bad - host /old generation Italian male/ came across as very arrogant and made us feel as if he was hosting us for free. Lots of warnings and “do nots” within the suite with very little welcoming notes or local tips/recommendations. The Ugly - you have to descend 250 steps or the equivalent of 16 storeys from where you park your car at the top of the hill. The walk to Ravello is about a kilometre uphill including the aforementioned 16 storeys of steps. Be ready to sweat upon arrival and to get one hell of a step master workout every time you leave the premises. The Hope - the wife and daughter were a lot more friendlier and welcoming but did not seem to be the ones calling the shots... maybe one day they will. FULL DISCLOSURE ON THE 16 STOREYS OF STEPS MUST BE IMPLEMENTED, this is a mountain town after all and one should expect to climb steps but not outrageously without warning.
