The hotel Villa Maria. Had lunch there and the place was beautiful. I plan to go back and stay there some day.

it seems villa maria is popular but read the reviews on tripadvisor.com - some are mixed...also you will have to use the sister hotel's pool - we are booked into the giordano - the sister hotel - we have a superior garden view room which costs less than the villa maria but it is a more modern hotel with probably less charm. They have a good website. We are going in august - if you are going earlier, let us know what it's like and good restaurant recommendations.

We had a drink at dusk at the restaurant beside the Villa Maria (or maybe it was theirs) & it was magical. The view was stunning, with church bells ringing in the village below.
We followed that with a great dinner at Netta's Cumpa' Cosimo. A must do!

We stayed at the Giordano a few years ago and it was OK - we had a balcony with an OK view. For a really good view you'd need to be higher up in the village. We had to take dinner at the Villa Maria which is somewhat higher up.
But I wouldn't actually advise staying in Ravello at all, unless you're planning to do nothing except admire the views. It's very small & you can see it & its two attractions - the 2 gardens - in a day trip.
