Ravello is the most serene and refined of the Amalfi Coast towns, set high on a mountain ridge with sweeping views over the coastline and sea far below. A haven of gardens, music and quiet elegance, it has long drawn artists, writers and discerning travellers seeking beauty and tranquillity.
The town is famous for its two great villas, Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone, whose terraced gardens and belvederes offer some of the most celebrated views in all of Italy. Ravello’s renowned music festival, held against this spectacular backdrop, adds to its reputation as a place of culture and inspiration.
Though it sits above the sea rather than upon it, Ravello is easily reached from the beautiful anchorages of the coast below, and forms an essential part of any Amalfi itinerary. Its peaceful lanes, historic cathedral and elegant gardens provide a graceful contrast to the glamour of the shoreline.
With its timeless beauty, cultural richness and breathtaking views, Ravello is one of the highlights of the Amalfi Coast. Guests can wander its legendary gardens, enjoy its serene atmosphere and take in some of the most spectacular panoramas in the Mediterranean.
