Villa Ravino Secret Retreat

Beautiful Gardens. Great facilities.

Breakfast a little overpriced.

We loved the peace and quiet and the gardens-loved the pool and thermal baths - the cactus lounge was a bonus

One of our rooms had an ac unit that was not working for most of the week

Beautiful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of Forio. Good transport links via the bus to explore the rest of the island. Great for couples. Would recommend Negombo Thermal Spa, Dinner in the mountains (hotel can recommend), the Castle and Gardini La Mortella.

Stayed at the separate Villa Casabianca , we enjoyed the peaceful garden grounds with mountain and sea views, and the whole property was clean and well laid out.

Returning at night from sightseeing on a couple of times the front hallway had a mass of millipedes on the floor that we had to sweep up and depost outside in the garden.

Absolutely stunning. A heavenly place. Love for every detail. We cannot wait to be back.

Nothing.

The property was just beautiful, a completely relaxed environment with a beautiful view, the staff were lovely and it was a real chance to switch off and relax. The breakfast every morning was lovely, I don’t think I have enough words to describe just how amazing it was. I proposed to my girlfriend here and it will always hold a special place in our hearts. I couldn’t recommend this place more.

Excellent buffet breakfast to cater for all tastes.

Everything was perfect! The place is amazing, nature, relax and comfort

The accommodation does not reflect what is in the pictures, although it was an upgrade. The bed wasn't comfortable, far too hard, the bathroom was old & needs updating. The balcony view of the garden & sea is gorgeous. Unfortunately, the place had just reopened for the season & the pool area & jacuzzi weren't ready. It was dirty & barely warm even though it was heated by the thermal waters. I think they should have told us this beforehand as we had booked far in advance & they clearly weren't ready for quests to use these facilities. The small restaurant was inviting with a cosy inside & outside dining area. Sadly, the menu was very limited because they weren't busy enough yet & we struggled on what to eat for lunch & dinner during our 3 days there. Compliments to the amazing staff that served us every day, we are grateful for their patience with our pigeon Italian. The Gardens was the most outstanding thing about staying here. They are truly a wonder & need to be seen. The variety of different cactus, succulents & fruit trees are amazing. There was also a white peacock roaming around posing for a photo. Even if you don't book accommodation, they are still open to the public

The location was ideal, between sea and mountain. Luca was a courteous and very helpful host. The breakfast had a wide variety of delicious foods, and taken in the luscious cactus garden was a delight.
