Z'Intonio Hotel

Very nice hotel, as long as you can cope with lots of steps and stairs. NOT for those with aged joints. Nice people running the hotel, very nice indeed, limited English but they cope well.
LONG walks to Ravello, three Kilometres away, and if you can't easily walk back, then it's 20 euros/ 20 quid for a very short ride in a taxi of just five minutes.
The breakfast is same every day, and unless you have the nous to ask for a change it is very repetitive. No cereal unless you ask, no sliced meats, cheeses, or eggs etc.
Just "brioch" - (pastries) - and rolls and jam/honey/marmalade. Coffee or tea and orange juice.
In the evenings you will be asked if you want white wine or red, and Tea or coffee. IT IS ALL AT AN EXTRA CHARGE. but you will not find out prior to end of the hols, unless you are fortunate. I have no problem with paying for what I have, I just like to not be taken for granted, I like to be told UP FRONT!! It can add another fifty/sixty/seventy pounds to your stay. Eating at Ravello is expensive, a simple light lunch for two, with a small pastry and a tea or coffee each is about forty five pounds. I rented a car for three days. The hotel owner told me I was very intelligent to do so. It is really very impractical without a car.But with one....It's magic. Get lost, find everywhere, easily. Take your Sat-Nav. Scare yourself to death on the narrow Amaldi drive, and winding roads through the mountans. Live it like it is.
