Where to Stay

While the wedding itself is in the town of Ravello and we recommend you stay there, you are welcome to look at places anywhere along the Amalfi Coast (i.e. Positano, Sorrento, Amalfi, Praiano, etc). Just be aware that these towns are built into the cliffside and typically only have one main roadway between them. What may look like a short distance could be an hour drive. Simona (our wedding planner) says Ubers are rare, so if you choose to stay elsewhere, you may look into renting a car.  

Ravello has lots of great options - both hotels and AirBnbs. Most hotels have a small number of rooms (there is no Marriott Ravello), which is why we do not have “blocked” rooms at any hotel for our wedding. Remember you are staying in a European city built into a cliff. While quite charming, we don’t think many Americans would consider the hotel options very “modern.” When we said we want our adventurous friends there, we meant it!

In our research, we were pleasantly surprised with what AirBnb had to offer. You may also want to check out sites such as Vrbo or Booking.com

The wedding will take place at the Belmond Caruso Hotel. There are lots of available hotels & rentals within walking distance. Keep in mind there could be steep hills or lots of stairs getting between places. We recommend entering the address of the accommodation you are interested in and the venue into directions on Google Maps. If you select “walking” as the mode of transportation, it will tell you both how long and how steep the walk would be.

 

Belmond Caruso Hotel

Ravello does offer some high-end hotels. Five-star hotels such as Villa Cimbrone, Palazzo Confalone, Palazzo Avino, and Belmond Caruso (venue!) are spectacular, but expensive. If you want to treat yourself to a very luxurious stay, go for it!

 

There are also a number of slightly more modest but still beautiful hotels within walking distance to the venue. Villa Fraulo, Hotel Giordano, Hotel Rufolo, Hotel Graal, and Villa Maria could all be great options. Remember, what these may lack in brand-new amenities they make up for in views and charm. There are many other smaller hotels and villas, too!

An example of a nearby AirBnB option

There are quite a few AirBnB/Vrbo, bed & breakfast, and personal rental options in Ravello - many of which are quite affordable. There are lots of reviews you can read and many renters are backed by AirBnB or the like. In our research, we found AirBnB to have great cancellation policies.

Another option is to link up with other wedding guests and get a larger rental together! There are several great-looking villas which are suitable for more guests. You can let us know if you are interested in sharing a rental and we can help you connect!
