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.

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!

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.
