Villa Ravino Secret Retreat

The staff were very accommodating and helped us with check in, busses and taxis around the area! Everyone was very nice and they were always available to help. The cactus garden is spectacular and property is very well maintained - a haven for nature lovers!

The paths around the property aren't the safest in the world but this isn't their fault! if you are staying here you will need to have a car / scooter or be able to take a bus or taxi - walking to Forio is possible but possibly better to get transportation

The beautiful gardens, secret passages, thermal pool, animals and the hosts were amazing.

I couldn’t find anything wrong!

It was in a unique setting, the gardens were exotic

My only tiny fault was the unavailability of non-alcoholic drinks

The accommodation does not reflect what is in the pictures, although it was an upgrade. The bed wasn't comfortable, far too hard, the bathroom was old & needs updating. The balcony view of the garden & sea is gorgeous. Unfortunately, the place had just reopened for the season & the pool area & jacuzzi weren't ready. It was dirty & barely warm even though it was heated by the thermal waters. I think they should have told us this beforehand as we had booked far in advance & they clearly weren't ready for quests to use these facilities. The small restaurant was inviting with a cosy inside & outside dining area. Sadly, the menu was very limited because they weren't busy enough yet & we struggled on what to eat for lunch & dinner during our 3 days there. Compliments to the amazing staff that served us every day, we are grateful for their patience with our pigeon Italian. The Gardens was the most outstanding thing about staying here. They are truly a wonder & need to be seen. The variety of different cactus, succulents & fruit trees are amazing. There was also a white peacock roaming around posing for a photo. Even if you don't book accommodation, they are still open to the public
