Le Esperidi

The view from the terrace. The apartment is modern.

The bed could be softer. We felt a little cramped. We did not enjoy the walk to town for supplies and the lack of local options. We had come from similar in Capri and were a little over it.

The view and staff.

All the stairs and it’s quite far from the city centre because you have to walk uphill.

The view from the terracy, bathroom

Kitchen essentials like a cheese grater (should be standard in Italy).

First it could be challenging to find the apartment, but I would advise to everyone who will visit Ravello, Scala and etc, never trust google maps walking route! Take car route ,it will take you to the apartments with very easy way( avoiding stairs). So about our stay - everything was beyond perfect! Eleonora’s hospitality is unmatched, She is very helpful and very responsive hostess. View is stunning , we stayed there 5nights , been to Agerola, Positano, Furore, Amalfi itself, but I’m 100% sure there is no better view than Ravello, especially Le Esperidi! It was like we lived in paradise 5 nights. I will definitely be back to Amalfi coast and will stay at Le Esperidi ❤️. We will never forget our days in there. Thanks Eleonora and Carlo for everything.

we could stay much longer :(

I really enjoyed my stay at Le Esperidi. The location was fantastic, with an incedible view from the balcony. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

The location is stunning. The view every day and night from our private terrace was something we never tought we'd see, just beautiful. It was very handy to have the kitchenette with the full-size fridge and sink. The espresso machine was well-used. Eleonora was so very helpful, both pre, during, and post stay. She was very responsive to our questions; we corresponded via iMessage. She helped us find transport up to the property from Minori, she gave us several restaurant recommendations, provided bus schedules, taxi drivers, sightseeing tips, and more. She even answered an Italian language question I had. Eleonora is a wonderful hostess. Ravello is a very charming village, and we loved walking through it. We enjoyed touring Villa Rufolo, but unfortunately ran out of time and weren't able to see Villa Cimbrone, but now there's something to do when we return. For day trips to the towns down on the coast, it's easy from the bus stop in Ravello. The bus comes at regular intervals, and it is a very interesting ride down the mountain to Amalfi. Once there, you can take a ferry all the way to Capri, which we did, it was a very scenic boat ride.

We, (I) did not fully understand the geography, more specifically, the topography of the area. What looks like a short walk from our room to Ravello on the map, was more of a hike than we were expecting. This is in no way the fault of Le Esperidi, or Eleonora, but there is no way to understand just how vertical this place is before you get there. But, it is simply a way of life for those who live in this paradise; they're used to walking up and down to get around. There are two walking routes from the property to Ravello: take the path and climb some steps, then take the road for a gradual climb. Or skip the road, and take hundreds more steps for a steeper climb. We did it both ways, and preferred the road route. We're in our mid-sixties, and were able and fit enough to get up and down, but those who have trouble walking should be prepared to get a taxi for this trip.
