FAQ about gay-friendly hotels in Ravello
Q: What are the best places to stay as a gay couple in Ravello?
A: Ravello is a small, close-knit town, so it's hard to go wrong wherever you stay. However, the area around the Villa Rufolo and the Palazzo della Marra are particularly charming, with narrow, winding streets, hidden gardens, and stunning sea views. For a unique LGBTQ+ stay, consider booking a room at the charming gay inn, Palazzo Avino or the luxurious gay resort, Belmond Hotel Caruso, through misterb&b. These gay hotels in Maiori, a nearby larger city, also offer a more vibrant nightlife and a larger queer community.
