Hotel Graal, Ravello

We found Hotel Graal on the internet and, having never booked over the net before, were were a bit apprehensive about what it would be like. We could not have been more pleased! The hotel was clean and functional, with a great sized pool and the most fantastic views down the Amalfi Coast. If you are looking for the view which is advertised in all the travel brochures, that Graal definately has it. The balcony was very large and we spent each night sipping wine in the room and watching the lights come on down the coast. We also slept with the curtains open and were awakened by the sun rising over the hills every morning. It was very romantic. The room was fitted with an excellent shower and minibar. The staff were lovely and helpful; going out of their way to organise things such as last minute trips to Pompeii. The breakfast was amazing with lots of variety; cheese, ham, freshly baked bread, croissants, fruit, cereal, yogurt etc. The hotel itself was a 30 second walk from the main bus-stop in Ravello, so we had easy access to towns such as Amalfi, and others such as Atrani and Maiori could be easily reached by foot from the hotel. Ravello itself is absolutely beautiful and certainly the best out of all the towns we visited on the Amalfi Coast. Compared with other hotels in Ravello, Hotel Graal was inexpensive (relatively speaking) but was totally worth every penny. This was the first stop on a wonderful honemoon and we could not have hoped to start in a better place. We would wholeheartedly recommend a stay at Hotel Graal.
