Pietro (Peter) is the owner of this Bed and Breakfast and he is an awesome host. I stayed here with some family members for about 1 week and we had a wonderful time. Pietro serves a wonderful breakfast each morning and I would most certainly stay here again. The Hotel or B&B is a few minute walk from the centre of Ravello and the views from our room of the surrounding area were stunning. I would, with absolute certainty, recommend this place to anyone. We did not have a car while here but I do believe that Pietro has parking available for guests with vehicles. However, ensure you connect with him beforehand to confirm.

Lovely stay with a great breakfast on the terrace, overlooking beautiful scenery. In the corner of town that’s just a 3 min walk from the main piazza, so quiet at night and felt safe the whole time. Also, there’s 2 doggos that protect the property at night n they were sweethearts. Will absolutely stay again next time in Ravello.

We stayed here for 3 nights for a family wedding in Ravello. We had a 3 bed apartment with a main double bedroom and a good comfortable size single which was a sofa bed. Room was neat and tidy, towels were changed daily. Breakfast was a really nice continental with fresh fruit salad, yoghurts, pastries and fresh bread rolls, juice and coffee. We thought it represents great VFM considering its close proximity to the main square in Ravello and considering how much ££££ you could spend on other accommodation in Ravello it served our requirements perfectly. The owner (Peter) was friendly and helpful. We would return to this lovely B&B again if we ever go back to Ravello.

An excellent location to stay in beautiful Ravello. It's less than a 5 minute walk up some steps to the main square but is still very quiet. The rooms are spotless and well laid out - we stayed in a family room and there was plenty of space for 2 adults and 2 children. The rooms have a decent sized fridge for water etc. The host was very friendly and helpful and offered to arrange transfers etc. Breakfast is served on a covered terrace offering great views across the valley to Scala and includes fresh fruit, croissants, bread etc. Highly recommended.

We wouldn't hestiate to recommend this B&B. Firstly, the staff and manager were so friendly and made us feel very welcome, gave us some excellent advice and tips on where to visit, in fact went out of their way to help us. The breakfast on the terrace was lovely and something we looked forward to each day. Our room was spacious and clean with the added bonus of air-con. Being located in Ravello was a great base, such a quaint and lovely town with lots going on and loads of places to explore, eat and drink. We would definately stay in this place again and thank the owner for making us feel so welcome and recommending some great places to visit. Kathryn & David Vaughan

My family and I enjoyed staying at this property for our time in Ravello. We had our 5 month old with us - the rooms are spacious, it is a short walk to the center square and to many restaurants. Peter is so helpful and everyone there is so friendly. Peter offered recommendations for restaurants and help with any car bookings. The daily breakfast was the highlight of our mornings. Fresh fruit, fresh juice, croissants, and more, while sitting outside and soaking in the beautiful views. We’re so happy we stayed here!

Great location for our 3 night stay for a wedding at Villa Eva and visiting Ravello and Amalfi. Pietro was very welcoming and helpful, and served a lovely continental breakfast on the pretty terrace outside. The property is a 2 min (uphill) walk to the main square, and approximately 10-15 min (again uphill) walk to Villa Eva. From the main square you can get a taxi or bus to Amalfi. The rooms were spacious, tidy and cleaned every day. Towels, fridge, safe, hairdryer were provided. The property is close to the car park and provides free WiFi, and has some lovely hill views from the terrace. I would definitely recommend for location, cleanliness and the breakfast ! My only suggestion would be to have a kettle for tea and coffee in the rooms.

I stayed here by myself for three nights. The manager was beyond rude to me when one of my friends staying down the street was refused to be allowed up to charge his phone for 5 minutes on our way to town. Would never stay here again after the horrible experience brought on all by one person.

Dear Customer, we are sure that his comment was for another hotel. Your comment has been attributed to the Duchy of Ravello. Having had a comment with anonymous signature, we cannot trace your booking. We are sure that this did not happen in our hotel. We invite you to remember where this inconvenience happened. We are not aware of having refused to charge the phone, also because all our rooms are independent, so it would have been possible to charge the phone without problems. We are therefore 100% sure that you have confused hotels and attributed this to our hotel. We therefore ask you to change or delete your comment from our structure. We look forward to your news, best regards.

Perfect Stay in Ravello
We stayed here for 2 nights in June and this place was awesome. Owners very nice and accommodating, you are a 2 minute walk to Ravello's town square where all the best restaurants and places to be in Ravello are. Each morning we were greeted with a great breakfast with a nice view of a valley. They had different types of coffee to order as well as fresh orange juice. We truly enjoyed our stay and here and would stay here again if we traveled back to Ravello.

If there was an option to give 0 stars I would. I am not one to usually leave reviews but in this case I need to. If you are a woman who is traveling solo DO NOT stay at this B&B. The owner made me so uncomfortable I ended up leaving after my second night and staying elsewhere. On my second morning during breakfast he crossed the line and went as far as attempting to rub my shoulders and asked me to return that afternoon for a massage. Upon my arrival back to my room that day he saw me walk in and called for my attention. I ignored it and continued to my room. In a period of 10 minutes he had knocked on my door and rang my buzzer 3 times. Each time standing closer and closer to my door. I did not sleep in my room that night. The following day I was shopping around in town and he sought me out questioning me as to why I had not spent the night in my room and if I was going to be sleeping there that night. Feeling even more uncomfortable at that point I did not want to let him know where I was sleeping. When I would not answer he got frustrated and then asked where his key was. I told him that he had already been paid for my stay and that I would return my key when I checked out. I was too uncomfortable to go alone when checking out so I brought someone with me. Again, if you are a female and traveling solo DO NOT stay here.

Great town, great place
Ravello is a great place to go t on the Amalfi Coast, especially to stay over, as it is not as touristy as the more well known places. It is a beautiful town and getaway, and Il Ducato is a perfect place to stay. Excellent breakfast and view as eating.

Spacious room, central location
A large room by european standards, just a short walk (down the stairs and across the public car park) from the main square. Peter is friendly and provides a huge breakfast every day (bowl of fruit salad, yoghurt, sweet pastries, glass of juice, tea or coffee, sliced bread and rolls, preserves and a selection of cheese and cold meats). Room doesn't have black out blinds, so gets a little light when the sun comes up, but the bed was very comfortable.

Lovely breakfast and super location
This hotel was great. The location is just off the square. Literally, walk down the stairs from the center to the parking lot and it's right there. The three person room fit myself and my wife and our child well. The annoying (but totally understandable) thing is the power in the room is turned off when you leave it. It seems that all hotels do this in this region. The small cleanliness detraction was tiny ants, but all of our friend's hotels had the same problem.
