Reviews Summary
Hotel Villa San Michele is lauded as a magical, unforgettable gem on the Amalfi Coast, offering breathtaking sea views, exceptional service that feels like family, and delicious, home-style meals. Guests consistently rave about the food, the stunning scenery, and the welcoming atmosphere, making it a place they wish to return to.
"My husband and I just stayed at the Hotel Villa San Michele for two nights, and I wish we could’ve stayed for a week! The white and blue hotel itself is beautiful, as was our room, not to mention the breathtaking views from every spot of the hotel. We had a room with a terrace and the most gorgeous view of the sea and the coast, and the room was very clean, had everything we needed, and plus had gorgeous blue tiling and accents.
The service at the hotel was also incredible, and we especially enjoyed the dinners at the on-site restaurant. The food was to die for! And the changing menu with local ingredients is such a cool feature.
A 10/10 experience! We hope to be back one day!"

"This hotel will forever live in our minds as one of the peak experiences of our entire honeymoon. Such a special find. Before we left we talked about how this will be the place we return to one day to relive our honeymoon. We were hesitant to only have dinner at the hotel instead of exploring local restaurants for unique food experiences, however, every single night we had the best meal of our lives at villa San Michele. The fresh local flavors are out of this world. We will never forget the lime olive oil risotto with raw tuna."
Mia Kolb
"Truly an unforgettable experience. I’ve never had an accommodation experience quite like it. You feel at home and the staff feels like family. Food taste like actual home cooking and fresh ingredients. The property itself is gorgeous and clean, spectacular views of the coast. Location is 10 min walk to Amalfi and you avoid the crowds. Bus stop is right outside the hotel. This place is perfect."

10 of the best hotels on the Amalfi Coast
This 12-room, family-run pensione is located just steps from the busy coastal road that sweeps around the Amalfi Coast on the way to Ravello, yet it’s somehow quiet. Stairs lead down from the roadside to vine-draped terraces and gardens overlooking the sea; further down, there’s a private swimming platform with steps descending into the deep blue water. Rooms are basic and simply furnished, but almost all have sweeping views, and some come with terraces that wouldn’t be out of place at properties with far higher price tags.

The Villa San Michele is just down the hill from the centre of Ravello, set into the rugged rocks of the Amalfi Coast, complete with a ladder leading directly down into the sea. With just 12 rooms, this is a peaceful pick, with white and blue marine themed decor that adds to the relaxed, seaside-y atmosphere.
