Oscar Niemeyer Auditorium — Attraction in Ravello

BEWARE WHEN PARKING HERE!!! SAY NO TO THEIR VALET

Long story short, i rarely leave any comments in google maps, but now im reviewing a parking lot because i dont want anyone to have the same bad experience like us when visiting ravello!

I planned to visit Villa Rufolo but there was no public/paid parking spot available. Desperate and frustrated, I found out that this auditorium has a big parking lot which charge 3 euros per hour (source checked from google), then I planned to park here since 6 euros is better than wasting time looking for parking.

When I entered the parking lot, a guy with short figure told me that its not 3 euros per hour but 10 euros per hour since we own a big car (almost like minivan). Feeling a bit sketchy,i still decided to pay 20 euros for 2 hours because i dont want to waste more time. The WEIRD part is that the fat guy inside the counter (another person) told me that I SHOULD leave my key to them to park my car. At first im a bit confused because i have never encountered any public parking or garage parking that required me to leave car key to the valet. I just dont like the fact that some stranger know how many stuffs I have inside my car since I have plenty luggages and valuables after I checked out from hotel in the morning. With positive mind, I still tried to think positive and agreed .That short guy has a quick eye when he noticed i bring my drone down from my car (i did it super quick) then he asked me like "is that a drone?" Our family was shocked of how quick witted he is. He then parked my car at the right side of the garage but when I came back, the car was parked at the left side! Why did they move my car even tho there are only 2 cars in the garage? I visited in low season in the morning. Then instead of him who bring me the car, there was a big tall russian guy who drove my car back to me. Okay 30 euros paid because i was gone for 3 hours (as agreed in the beginning).

I visited another nearby town before checking into the new hotel and head for the big supermarket. We stopped for groceries around 40mins and parked our car in the supermarket parking space. When we returned, i found my car window was smashed and all of my luggages were gone. I have visited europe a couple of times and supermarket parking is considered "safer" since it is an open space with a lot of people around. The stuffs inside my van are plenty and huge that suv or mpv car wont fit, only a big van could fit all of them. This is just my speculation like what a coincidence some thieves with a big van know there were a lot of things inside my car and only a big van would fit all of it? Unless it was tagged and we are being followed. When i check my android google location, it is written italy but in russian alphabet.

that parking guy's attitude alone is enough to not park your car guys, i dont usually do this but i dont want anyone to get the same experience as mine, not trying to prove or anything, just telling you guys...

Mettetevi comodi e leggete. Tengo a precisare che la tariffa oraria del parcheggio era di 3€, al pari dell’area di sosta di piazza duomo. Ad oggi, la tariffa non è specificata e ho trovato due parcheggiatori quando in passato non c’era nessuno a controllare. Entro insieme alla mia ragazza e ad accoglierci c’è un ragazzo di circa 30/35 anni che ci dice che la tariffa oraria ammonta a 10€. Giustifica il prezzo affermando che incluso nel “servizio” c’è una navetta che porta a piazza duomo (non richiesta e soprattutto mai vista, in più la distanza è molto breve). Guardo incredulo il ragazzo, in quanto pensavo stesse scherzando e volesse ironizzare con me. Tuttavia, dopo avergli chiesto due volte con il sorriso se mi stesse prendendo in giro o meno sbotta in maniera maleducata e decisamente sgarbata. Prima chiedendomi se volessi spendere “15 anziché 10 ogni ora” e poi asserendo che io lo stessi prendendo per i fondelli… La mia ragazza, vedendo me incredulo e confuso prova a far capire al “signore” in questione che la tariffa è andata oltre il triplo. Nonostante ciò il severo lavoratore, che ha subito mostrato fastidio della nostra visita facendoci capire che lo stavamo disturbando durante l’orario di lavoro, le risponde in maniera volgare zittendola. A quel punto decido di andare via, onde evitare che tutto sfociasse in un diverbio più “animato”. Mentre facevo manovra non sono mancati insulti e commenti poco felici contro di noi, il tutto sotto gli occhi del suo collega più anziano e meno scontroso. Ah, un’ultima cosa. Il grande lavoratore, durante la “discutibile” reazione nei miei confronti e in quelli di una ragazza, sul finale ha pensato bene di accendersi una sigaretta e di fumare in un’area chiusa e con diversi veicoli. Inviterei a controllare la situazione all’interno del suddetto parcheggio, non solo per i prezzi (ognuno può stabilire ciò che meglio crede), ma soprattutto per i modi poco umani di fare di questi impeccabili lavoratori. Invito i turisti a parcheggiare in piazza duomo a 3€ o in altre aree più comode e più economiche. Godetevi Ravello, lo splendido opposto di...
