    Wonderful apartment! The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s very large and spacious. Immaculately clean. Has everything you need for an extended stay. The wonderful hostess has a fresh baked breakfast loaf and a fruit bowl with local assortment of ripe fruit as well as orange juice, water and milk. Don’t hesitate to book here. The location and view are perfect!

    The hostess was in regular contact & even helped us with the location of where to park our car and was awaiting our arrival. The property is located in a beautiful part of the city and the views are amazing. The weather was incredibly hot when we arrived but we were well looked after with the AC. There is good amount of room at the property and the bathroom is lovely with good water pressure in the shower. There is not enough nice things I can say about our experience, would definitely recommend for both the property & the hostess!

    Villa and Host were fantastic couldnt have asked for more. Just be aware of the limitations of transport in the Amalfi/Ravello area.

    Host - amazing. Helped us with arranging transportation to the Villa and was there waiting for our arrival to welcome us. Villa has beautiful views, is very clean and worth every penny. The host kindly had some chilled water and orange in the fridge, with cake and fruit ready in the kitchen area. The garden terrace provides lovely views and the opportunity to relax. Bedroom and bathroom perfect for what we needed. Slightly out of the hustle and bustle of Ravello which was perfect for us also.

    Only small thing (and very small) was there was a road between the garden and the views which we didn’t realise.

    Beautiful apartment, large space with beautiful views up the hill from ravello. The host is amazing and thorough and checked in with us every day to make sure we were ok. Even baked a cake and gave us fresh fruit!

    Road noise can be a bit loud at certain times of the day if the windows are open....but life is for the living, so in the grand scheme of things, nothing more than a mild nuisance.

    Pride of ownership, care & well being of patrons in abundance with this villa suite. Sabrina is genuine & top! For the three nights we spent, it felt like home to us. You won't be disappointed.

    there wasn’t anything I didn’t like. we had a wonderful time

    firstly, the owner was so kind and considerate. she was helpful all throughout our trip. Whether it be helping us call taxis, order motorbikes ect! and she had left cake and fruit and juice and milk there for us upon arrival. a sweet and thoughtful gesture. there’s great facilities like the kitchen, laundry ect! comfy bed. it’s nice walking to Ravello Center.

    Villa Gelsomina is a hidden gem! Away from all of the busy hotels downtown Ravello. The space is white, clean and minimalist which is exactly how we like our spaces. The walk to Ravello town square is around 10 minutes only and boasts some really amazing views. We loved walking to and from the town square each day. We stayed in the Iris suite which is on the second floor and has two balconies with French doors that open to a magnificent view of the sea and the mountains and down to Minori. Our host, Sabrina, was so warm and welcoming to us upon arrival and greeted us with a lemon cake! The kitchen has everything you need if you have an extended stay. Sabrina would check in with us via WhatsApp to make sure we had what we needed and offered recommendations for places to see and good restaurants. Our last night in town she even got us reservations at a sold out restaurant! If you are a light sleeper, I would recommend eat plus since the balconies sit right above the road into the city from Naples. But with ear plugs, we didn’t hear much noise at all. Each suite has a private garden area with views of the mountains, sea and the city of Minori, which is really beautiful during the day and night. Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a private and quiet place to day trip out to the surrounding cities on the Amalfi coast. 10/10, amazing property! Thank you Sabrina!

    Nothing it really was a fantastic stay.

    Sabrina met us at the villa and had organized a cab ride for us from the airport. As we were arriving late in the evening she had kindly bought us groceries as requested and baked the most delicious lemon cake ive ever tasted! On top of that she let me see both villas so I could choose the one that served me best, which was so so kind. She really goes out of her way to make sure you have the loveliest of stays. The Villa has lovely touches in addition to being really tastefully decorated like the lit stairs to the garden and the additional optional blue light that adds a lovely hue in the bathroom which has a great roomy shower. The garden has a breathtaking view and you can take a lovely walk into Ravello or take the steep but rewarding steps down to Minori, or there are buses to Amalfi and the seaside towns and ferries to Portofino. All are lovely but I honestly loved Ravello the most. The beds were super comfortable too. I have wanted to go to the Amalfi coast for ages and it really was everything I hoped for, Thank you Sabrina for making us so welcome.

    Walking up the hills, but that is due to our physical condition! (Sabrina has nothing at all to do with that).

    Our host Sabrina was simply exceptional. All the local tips we needed (avoiding wasting time and expenses) to visit attractions or tours came via her. She was available at all moments to answer our questions with always excellent advice to make our stay on the coast even more pleasant.

    I cannot recommend staying here enough! We truly had the most amazing stay at Villa Gelsomina! The apartment had absolutely everything we needed. So clean and very beautifully decorated. Everything seems brand new. The view over Maiori from the terrasse is breathtaking! we spent many evenings enjoying a glass of wine on the sunbeds with enchanting lights hanging in the tree. But the best part of Villa Gelsomina is Sebrina! Sebrina is one of the best hosts I’ve ever met. My luggage was late from our airport at home and it took 6 days before it arrived at the airport in Napoli. She organized the transport of the luggage to the apartment and was in contact with people at the airport the entire week! She saved me from so much stress and made sure it would be picked up in Napoli by someone she knew. She will give you the best recommendations and her hospitality will make you want to return. There is no doubt in my mind; we will be back! 💗
