What a find. A large, cool, exquisitely furnished mansion in the heart of historic Ravenna. This was a perfect place to stay. Anna's gracious hospitality and thoughtful assistance distinguished this in every way from other forms of accommodation. Every day started with a sumptuous breakfast, and finished in a stylish room with a large bath and a comfortable bed. Casa Masoli offers personality, style, comfort, and proximity to restaurants, bars, and UNESCO World heritage sites. Staying here is one of the best travel decisions we've ever made."

That we couldn't stay longer.

Wonderful option for a few days in Ravenna. This house is a tourist highlight in its own right - an old Ravenna mansion, beautifully furnished and atmospheric. You are staying in Anna's family home, where she has lived all her life (since the end of WW2), and which she has been operating as a very classy B&B for 20 years - our room on the 2nd floor was her childhood bedroom. She's a lovely hostess, and a very good guide to what to do, where to eat, where to shop. Location is very central, but quiet. Breakfast is excellent. I've been visiting Italy for 40 years, maybe 20-30 times in total, staying in everything from 5 stars to zero stars, and I'm struggling to remember anywhere as excellent as Casa Masoli.

We didn't get the amazing room we booked. The unexpected arrival of another guest with reduced mobility meant that we were bumped upstairs, without consultation. Of course, we paid less, and our room was lovely, but the room we lost was so spectactular that we couldn't help but feel hard done by. Anna was very apologetic, but to be honest, the lower price didn't make up for the disappointment, and perhaps she should have offered us a bigger discount.

This hotel/B&B was the star of our 2 week Italy trip. It was absolutely great in every respect - we would give them 6 GOLD STARS if we could! This historic home is beautifully decorated, and the owner/host gave us a warm greeting and lots of excellent information about sites in Ravenna as well as restaurant recommendations. The location was A+ perfect, just a few minutes’ walk from the train station and in the heart of Ravenna’s historic area. There were countless restaurants, cafes, and bars nearby. Just about all of city’s sights are a few minutes’ walk. The neighborhood was safe and secure. The room was huge, well-designed, decorated, furnished, and absolutely immaculate! The bed was very comfortable. We also appreciated the enormous breakfast with wonderful local pastries and a wonderful assortment of cereals, yogurts and toppings. As frequent travelers, we always appreciate attention to details, and this hotel clearly knows travelers’ needs. Thank you!!!

Anna is a marvelous host; so helpful and knowledgeable. She has been foung this a long time. She made it possible for us to maximize our time in fabulous Ravenna. I would have preferred a 1st floor room but the stairs did us good! The room was very elegant, comfortable, spacious and quiet. Bathroom large and well equipped. The breakfast was fantastic - varied options, hot, cold, sweet, savoury and good tea and coffee. Location in the middle of the historic centre. Affordable parking nearby. Who could ask for more?

Not anything I can think of. I highly recommend Casa Masoli

Absolutely fabulous hotel. The building is exquisite and interesting. Our room was beautiful and exceptionally clean. Lots of attention to detail, such as espresso maker in the room, quality tea cups and drinking water glasses, nice toiletries etc. Provides a sense of luxury and comfort which is so nice when you are on holiday somewhere as beautiful as Ravenna. Soundproofing excellent, so a quiet place to sleep despite central location. Breakfast simple but nicely done. Probably the nicest hotel we ever stayed in, in Italy.

The length of our stay. Wanted longer.

This place is perfect if you're planning a short trip to see the mosaics. It's within easy walking of all the main sites and plenty of restaurants, cafes and shops. It's an elegant old town house. Our room was spacious with a 4-poster bed, lots of sofas, a walk-in closet area and a fine bathroom. The high ceiling had the remains of an old fresco. All in all much more atmospheric and charming than a standard hotel. The ladies in charge are lovely and the breakfast is excellent. Terrific value for money.

Obviously this isn't a full-service hotel. So don't expect all those services. It's a different kind of experience but a rather delightful one.

The entire palazzo was gorgeous: historic, stylish, comfortable, superbly decorated, and filled with gorgeousness. Our ground-floor suite was huge and spectacular, and the breakfast buffet was extensive, freshly-prepared and utterly delicious. Anna is lovely and looked after us extremely well: nothing was too much trouble. Superb value for money. Oh, and there's an adorable dog, whose nickname is 'Begs for Ham'! The location was brilliant, just a short walk from Piazza del Popolo and numerous bars and places to eat. Everything exceeded our expectations.

Only one small thing could have been bettered: an accessible wall socket to charge our phones, laptop etc. is needed. But we managed by temporarily unplugging the huge television, so it really wasn't much of an issue.

A beautiful and tastefully decorated palazzo just a few steps from the center of town. Each room had a different theme/feel and each looked inviting and comfortable. We were able to stay in the beautiful and spacious red and green room and it was very warm and cozy, so much so, we found it hard to leave! For breakfast, our hosts would make a special order hot breakfast of your choosing and the buffet table had many choices of fruit/veggies, cheeses/meats and a variety of sweets to choose from. We enjoyed our stay very much ;)

All was good!

The location is perfect: close to the mosaic monuments, shopping, and restaurants, all within walking distance. The breakfast was presented beautifully with lots of selection from meats and cheeses, pastries, fruit, bacon and eggs, coffee, juice, and yogurt. It was all delicious!

Just be aware that there is no elevator for people, and I believe only 1 room is on the ground floor, so as long as you are ok walking up stairs, this is a great B&B. They have a cool system set up to get your luggage upstairs for you!

We had a wonderful time at Casa Masoli in beautiful Ravenna in early June 2024. This is a beautiful old mansion (palazzo style). Lovely corridors with plants, big wooden doors, nice staircases, and high vaulted ceilings with frescos. It is located on a quiet but central street, just opposite a little square with the very pleasant bar-café-record store Fargo. The lady running Casa Masoli was friendly and quick to respond to any questions. The suite we stayed in was enormous, with lovely furniture. Well-equipped with fridge, air conditioning etc. The air conditioning unit isn't that powerful to cool such a cavernous space, so some travellers might be a little warm in summer. Still pleasant leaving the windows open but be careful of mosquitoes. Bathroom was also huge and very pleasant. The room is opulent but, above all, very comfortable. Breakfast is served both hot and cold, with a selection of delicious cakes. This is a great place to stay in Ravenna and would wholeheartedly recommend. I extend this recommendation to Ravenna as a whole, a great little city with a fabulous collection of mosaics and churches for those interested in Byzantine and Orthodox Christian art and history. In short, I was sad I wasn’t able to stay longer.
