Description from the manager
Villa Giannino is a graceful villa built upon a terracing almost at the top of the rocky spur on which the town of Ravello stretches, sheer above the sea. From all its observation points you will be able to enjoy the amazing view of the Amalfi Coast and of the sea – that very same view that has made Ravello famous all over the world as the town “suspended between the sky and the sea”.
It is the view that fascinated composers and poets, and that made Richard Wagner fall in love with this place, and from which he took inspiration to write the everlasting music of the Parsifal.
It is the view that, along with the historical bea...uty and the esteemed cultural and musical activities, has attracted and attracts in this place personalities such as Greta Garbo, Jacqueline Kennedy, Hillary Clinton and so many others.
Staying at Villa Giannino you will have the privilege to stand in front of so much beauty at any moment of your vacation: from the morning when you wake up and the sun rises behind the profile of the Lattari mountains and illuminates the sea, to the evening, when the lights of the stars go on and the moon glitters upon the sea.
You will arrive to Villa Giannino descending two flights of stairs (61 steps).
The building is on one floor, and it is placet in the middle of a long and narrow terracing paved with terracotta tiles, and shaded by a tall citron tree and by olives trees that grow in flower beds.
It is divided into two small apartments, A and B, one that sleeps five and the other that sleeps four people. Each of the apartments has a panoramic private terrace that extends in front of all of the rooms, and it has access to a large shared patio of 50 square meters (approximately 540 square feet) and to the terrace with trees of 150 square meters (approximately 1615 square feet).
The patio is equipped with garden furniture. On the terrace with trees, two large circular benches invite you to sit and relax outdoor. Your sight will go over the uninterrupted view in front of you: from the slopes of the Lattari mountains (in front of you), to the narrow valley where the village of Minori stretches (below you), to the inlets of the coast, up to Capo D’Orso (Bear Cape), and to a wide horizon of sea. Here you will also find a barbecue.
The terrace and the external walls of the villa are decorated with majolica pictures and bas-reliefs, made in the sixties by an excellent local maestro, whose name is, indeed, Giannino.
The villa is in the center of Ravello, on the boundary of the pedestrian precinct, approximately 200 meters (220 yards) from the main square (Piazza Duomo), where you will find shops and cafes with outdoor tables. Bars and restaurants are at 30 meters (yards) from Villa Giannino, and a paid parking lot is at 40 meters.
The terrace where Villa Giannino is built is not far from the famous gardens of Villa Rufolo , the historical villa where every summer the International Music Festival of Ravello is held.
The entrance to Villa Rufolo is approximately 200 meters (220 yards), so it will be easy to take part to the night performances without any transportation problem. As a matter of fact, during the summer the nicest concerts and happenings in Ravello are held by night, outdoor, in the gardens suspended between the sky and the sea of its famous villas, in front of the charming night view of the sea. Don’t miss the chance to attend them: the beautiful music and the spell-binding view melt together as an hymn to the harmony and to the beauty of the universe, and you will cherish the memory forever in your heart.
To stay at Villa Giannino you will not need a car, as the stop for the buses that go to Naples and to the other villages of the Amalfi Coast is just 100 meters (110 yards) from the villa.
The closest beach is at 5 km (3 miles), and can be reached by bus. From Ravello you will be able to walk along footpaths that will take you from the heights of the village (350 meters/1150 feet above the sea level) to the sea in 30 minutes.
You can’t miss the walk among the colors and the perfumes of the Mediterranean scrub that you, if you are in good shape: landscapes of amazing beauty will appear in front of your eyes all the way along.

The Villa Giannino apartment was very clean and adequatly equipped. But the absolutely best place is the patio. It´s huge and the view is stunning, among top 3 that I have seen during my 3 holidays in Italy. The steps down/up are really not any problem.
Ravello is a beautiful, little town. There is not much to see but we also enjoyed a few days just reading and relaxing on the patio and in the evening we went out for a dinner. There are many very good restaurants but I recommend to eat e.g.in amalfi town as well. We think that the food in the amalfi area was the most delicious in Italy.
The only negative thing was with the loction that from Ravello it takes always 15-30 mins until you are down by the sea in amalfi and the buses were sometimes really full. ( Well, then you would miss the view :) And also not any good grocery store in Ravello. The ones that are have robbery prices.
But if you choose Ravello, the Giannino is very good choice.
Fabulous location and wonder property at a great price!

This was such a great place to stay, because of location no street noises but once you went up the stairs you are at street level and the bus stop is just across the street, in addition the center square for Ravello it is located less than 5 minutes through a short pedestrian tunnel (Villa Rufolo was right there). Its location was perfect and the view from three rooms of the house were amazing. The large patio was great and if you had a large group renting Villa a and B would be perfect. Was thrilled to determine that two solid twin beds together (no shifting, just perfect) were actually the size of a California King (between Queen and King size) that was great to learn since my husband is 6'5" and 275 pounds! We ended up taking the wrong train and having Summer in Italy's customer service professionals (speaking English) was fantastic help in getting us back on track!
