Three miles of twisty mountain roads up from Amalfi, the gorgeous resort of Ravello has been attracting celebrities for centuries, including Richard Wagner, Greta Garbo, Gore Vidal and D.H. Lawrence, who wrote Lady Chatterley’s Lover here. Ravello’s Duomo (Cathedral) and Villa Cimbrone (both 11th century) and Villa Rufolo (13th century) are all magnificent sights. The annual summer Ravello Festival began as a salute to Wagner’s music, but now showcases a wide range of music and arts.

Ceramiche Cosmolena di Margherita Di Palma is an Art Gallery, museum moda and shopping
We visited Ravello four years ago. Great selection and assistance at Cosmolena. Very friendly sales help. We had a serving platter and 6 mix-and-match dinner plates shipped to our home in Dallas. We have loved being reminded of our trip whenever we eat on the lovely plates. Over the next few years, we have ordered additional items remotely and had them shipped to us -- matching salad plates, matching bowls, and a patio table that is to-die-for. It all arrived expertly packed -- really some of the best packing of breakable items I have ever seen. Their website is helpful, but I have been most impressed with the back-and-forth with photos and options that has made our remote purchasing feel more personalized. We have loved our ongoing connection to Cosmolena and look forward to visiting Ravello in person again someday soon.

While walking this scenic route between Ravello and Minori you can view, from vantage points atop cliffs, in gardens or roadways, sweeping vistas along the seacoast.
Took 1.30 Euro bus from amalfi to ravello then after exploring ravello and its stunning views, church and ceramics, walked down hill to Minori. Beautiful walk through back steps, lemon trees, olive trees etc with fabulous views the whole way down. Good walk for family, but very steep so very young kids may struggle.

Un percorso di trecking a 500 mt. sul livello del mare che offre una vista impareggiabile che da Praiano e Positano, spazia fino all’isola di Capri ed al Cilento.

possibly the nicest thing to do whilst up in ravello. entrance is 7 euros pp and you get to walk around the large gardens and take in the flowers and statues and sculptures etc. best bit is the infinity terrace with amazing views over the amalfi coastline both ways.

If you are history buff who takes pleasure in experiencing an antiquity cleansed, purified and brought back to life make your way to Villa Rufalo. Scottish Industrialist, Francis Neville restored the ruins of a former hotel with more than 350 rooms and truly made it shine. The setting is iconic and Overlooks the sea below. Imagine Moorish courtyards, gorgeous gardens, Sicilian and Norman architecture and then envision Richard Wagner walking the grounds inspiring the creation of glorious symphonies. Drink it in, drink it in!

Absolutely love this walk with fabulous views and great exercise to make room for all the delicious Italian food we are enjoying on the Amalfi Coast!! The walk has lots of stairs but no complaints because the views along the way are awesome!! We actually wanted to do it twice ???????? Highly recommend it!!

As we had 231 steps to walk up to get to the centre of Ravello we took a wrong turn and ended up in this little church. Inside its not much but the outside iconic view with the coastline of Minori and Maori together with that tree makes it a great detour. It was also nice and cool in there away from the heat.

Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone in Ravello are the main attractions of this town. Both are breathtaking and if I had to suggest to chose one for those who are limited in time, I wouldn’t be able to! Villa Rufolo’s best part is the two level garden with flowers called “Garden of the Soul” and the best part of Villa Cimbrone is the Terrace of Infinity with marble statues. Truly a must see for visitors of Amalfi Coast.
