Santa Maria Foris

This is a boutique B&B in the heart of Ravenna. As it's in the centre you could not park the car right at the B&B. There's one space where you can download your suitcases. There's an open carpark 5-10 min away where you pay 3Euros a day. Our very large and unique family room was at the top. pack lightly as there are quite a few stairs to get there. B'fast was good and simple with coldcuts/cereal/sweet pastries.

I had a perfect three night stay in this charming B&B. My split level room facing the courtyard garden was comfortable, spacious and private. The fridge stocked with bottles of water was very useful. Breakfast is continental style with many options and there is a lounge with books about Ravenna. The location is brilliant, 5-10 mins walk from everything. Sabrina on reception is kind, helpful and knowledgeable. As a solo female traveller I liked that the hotel is run by women. I recommend it highly and hope to return soon. Grazie a tutti!

I was so looking forward to staying here for 2 nights before our cruise. The hotel is stunning and the room amazing. Breakfast was ok, continental style, not a massive choice, but suitable. Unfortunately we had some issues that negatively affected our stay. I had booked wine and nibbles to be available in our room on arrival (as a surprise). We were not arriving until late in the evening and the hotel is then self check-in at that time, with no staff present. When we arrived, we had nibbles and 2 wine glasses in our room, but no actual wine. The next day, the reception staff stated, that they prefer to put the wine in the room when we arrive to ensure it is cold. However, they knew we were a late self check in and no one was going to be present anyway. I was just expecting the wine in a ice bucket or even put into the fridge in the room. Also, our room had no hot water to the shower. I made the reception staff aware the next morning and was told they were going to look at it. However, this wasn't addressed and when we had a shower later that evening, the water was still cold, and again there were no staff present at the hotel. When checking out, I informed the different reception staff that water have had no hot water for our 2 nights stay. She was unaware of this and the fact it had been reported the day before and nothing done. No discount was offered and only a lake warm apology. The hotel looks great, but having no hot water for 2 days and having to shower in cold water wasn't the best, and the issue not being addressed by staff have led to my 3 star rating :-(

Great place. We had their most luxurious split level apartment and it was great. Emanuela, our hostess, could not have been more gracious or helpful. This is an interesting and very authentic Italian accommodation. I needed help with an extra room and they took the time to find me one nearby, The Gironda, which was convenient and quite superb. If you are pre-cruise, which we were, this should be on your list at or near the top.

This hotel is just beautiful. We stayed as a family before a cruise and it exceeded expectations, as did Ravenna which is a beautiful place to explore. We had the family room. Wow! Just wow! Beautiful. We felt very lucky to enjoy such a room. If you are staying in Ravenna don't hesitate. Just book it! And thank you to the front desk staff who helped me before our stay with all the logistics. They arranged an airport collection from Bologna and advise how we book a transfer to the cruise terminal. Very much appreciated!

Both the B&B and the town were much better than expected. My rating is 5 star because the B&B was as good as a hotel. I had a very early flight so I needed a 3am taxi because the train did not run that early. The helpful staff happily made the arrangements. My room was up a very long flight of stairs so if you have very heavy suit cases or if you have a handicap be sure to get a ground floor unit or select a different place to stay. The bed was comfortable, the shower was good with pressure and hot water and the air-conditioning was quiet. The room was quiet also so we slept well. Very good restaurants are a short walk.

We have really enjoys staying in this hotel, or B&B Villa Santa Maria Foris. It is excellent choice for travellers to stay here. Excellent service, excellent location, excellent wifi, excellent breakfast and excellent interior. The owners really care about details and it is very stylish hotel. The rooms are breathtaking, I strongly recommend this hotel and wish to stay here a little bit longer!

We stayed here in the attic room for an overnight before joining a cruise ship. The room was simply stunning. The staff went above and beyond sourcing us taxi transfers to the cruise terminal. We upgraded and added breakfast which was perfect. Excellent Italian coffee and continental buffet breakfast. If I am ever in Ravenna again this would be my hotel of choice.

We stayed for just one night as we were boarding a cruise ship the next day and we both loved the place. The reception staff were excellent and very helpful, guiding us to a very nice restaurant for dinner. Continental breakfast was €8 and good value, with an outside terrace it was a nice start to the day. The hotel was quite classy and our room large large and clean but a little dark, but fine. The bathroom was spotless with just a little new grouting needed in the bathtub area. The hotel is situated in a good place in the old town with plenty of restaurants and bars close by
