We were disappointed with our stay at Villa Piedimonte after reading all the reviews here. Yes, the view is incredible, we loved that, but that's where it ends. Rooms do not look like pictured- ours was lime green and very roadside motel style, with lots of sachets of bathroom supplies, waxed paper cups, and cheap fixtures, fittings etc. Bathroom very small and pokey. Bed and pillows very hard. Room had a dank odour that didn't dissipate despite opening up all the windows. Staff were mostly lovely other than the guy who checked us in who was smarmy and called me my husbands' "missus" (eek- do we forgive him as English second language?:) We had a room with a lovely patio, but all that was on the patio were two hard chairs, a table and two loungers - no cushions, plants etc - this space COULD be amazing because the view was truly incredible. Walk to Ravello was an easy one from the hotel- yes some stairs, but not difficult so don't bother with the shuttle. Parking at the hotel here was also a huge plus as you can drive in, park the car, then just walk to Ravello for meals etc. Ravello itself is just gorgeous- a truly lovely village.
