Pretty sizable room and bathroom in a quiet side road an easy ten minutes' walk from San Vitale. Tasty and varied breakfast, eaten outside on sunny days with pleasant garden views. Owners were friendly and helpful; some English is spoken and more German. On discovering that my mother and I had to take an early train back to the airport on our final morning, the proprietor told us not to book a taxi and drove us to the station himself - at six in the morning! This really was brilliant service!

Bed was a little hard, and, in a twin room, the smaller sofa bed didn't have a bedside light. A desk in the room would have been helpful. But these were small reservations in a charming and characterful hotel.

We had a wonderful time in Ravenna and Ai Giardini di San Vitale made our stay unforgettable.. Wonderful location, beautiful garden, clean spacious rooms, very good breakfast but most of all exceptionally friendly staff. The owner asked everyday if we needed anything else and we'll never forget that day when he offered us Prosecco and we had a nice long chat along with our drinks... Definitely recommend this property and I hope to come back myself..

Nothing...

Very hospitable host. It is located in a neighborhood not far from the gate to the old part of their city. it is also about a 15 minute walk to the Basilica di San Vitale, which is the one church with 100% mosaics still intact inside. it is amazing! it is also a 5-10 minute walk to a bustling street with restaurants, bars, pharmacy, etc. The reserved car parking area was a gated lot 30 steps from the B&B. They also have a beautiful back yard with a pet rabbit named Rudy.

not a thing!

The location was a 10-15 minute walk from the old town in Ravenna. There was a charming garden, although the weather was not appropriate for sitting out in it. My room was lovely with a fridge and enough hanging space and hangers for clothes. The water pressure in the shower was good and so was the wifi. The people who ran it were very kind and helpful. I had to leave 2 days early into my 4 day stay because the train strike on the day I needed to get to Milan would have meant I would miss a performance at La Scala that I had sold a kidney to get. I couldn't leave the day before because I had a work that day that required a video conference. When I realised the chaos this was going to cause, the owners of the B & B were very helpful, found the link to a train to Milan that would work and ordered me a taxi.

The continental breakfast was a bit sparse and in the evening the walk back seemed longer than it did in the morning.

Breakfast was perfect - fruits, pastries and breads high quality - local cheeses. There was something for everyone. All fresh and nicely presented. Coffee was exceptional. The hosts were utterly charming and went out of their way to assist me. The property is lovely and location quiet but ideal for everything.

No criticism of the property - visitors to Ravenna and the surrounding region should prepare themselves for mosquitos!!

We arrived by train and could easily walk to the B&B. The host, Concetto, is very gracious, multi-lingua (Italian, German, English, French), making everything very easy (even though I practiced my Italian with him). The Garden is lovely, a Green Oasis in the Town. Wonderful to eat breakfast in the Garden! Easy to walk to restaurants nearby. Concetto got us two bicycles the afternoon we wanted to ride out to the Baptistry of St Apollonaire in Classe.

Nothing could have been better.

It was very close to town but not right in the middle. An easy walk. Not a cook to order breakfast, Continental type breakfast with coffee. It was perfect for what I needed. My room was just off the main room so it was a little noisy. It was fine for me. It did feel like I was staying in someone's home. Good option before a cruise to see Ravenna. The town is charming with lots of cafes and beautiful buildings to explore. The beach is not too far away. Taxis are very limited. Best to have transportation arranged in advance. The owner was very kind to help me arrange transportation back to the airport in Bologna when my luggage was lost.

A little gem hiding behind a modest street frontage this hotel (or B&B) makes a happy comparison with the faceless hotels of the international chains. The welcome is warm, the hosts are helpful and accommodating and our room and bathroom were generous. If the weather had been better we would have made more use of the charming garden. Most of the major sites, and the town centre, are only minutes away on foot, as are excellent restaurants recommended by the host.

As a 'mature' Italian property it has the inevitable eccentricities around the plumbing. In this case the hot water supply. But the hosts have provided instructions which, if followed, overcome any shortcomings.

This was a very pleasant property in a lovely city. We were surprised by how much we enjoyed the city of Ravenna, not even counting the frescoes. The location was good as long as one liked to walk, as it was a couple of blocks from the entry to the historical center. The parking was a few houses away in a communal space, but you couldn’t drive into the center. The host was welcoming and gave us good restaurant advice.

There were some ways this property could be made better. The yard outside our room was fairly unkempt and needed something to sit on to be inviting. our room was downstairs and there was a sitting area next to it, but it also could have been made more inviting.

Location is excellent - just a short walk from the center of town, very quiet street and zone. Proprietors were warm and welcoming and hospitable, lovely experience. My Italian is limited but I managed fine! Breakfast was great - lots of choices and the dining room was a lovely setting.

Nothing!
