Palazzo Confalone

For the last four days/evenings we have been vacationing in Ravello and staying at Palazzo Confalone. This is a lovely boutique hotel housed in a restored and well-maintained palace overlooking the sea. The lovely antiques, frescoed ceilings and colonnades evoke one’s imagination of what life must have been like for the gentry who settled this beautiful mountainside hamlet many years past. The hotel is a two minute walk to the duomo and town square. Staying at Palazzo Confalone was like visiting family. The staff attended to our every need, even accommodating our gluten intolerance with homemade gluten free croissants, breads, pasta and lovely dinners, and they couldn’t have been more helpful. They recommended day excursions and helped us get a true sense of life on the Amalfi coast. While there are other larger “palazzos” in Ravello, they are pretentious and over double the price of Piazza Confalone. We could not rate this hotel and the warm and friendly staff who manage it any higher. We will certainly return one day with our grown children.
