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.

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!

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.

I have been visiting Ravello for 13 years and only just discovered this most special and beautiful beach Lido di Ravello. It is well worth the walk down the many steps - very doable for all ages. The beach is intimate - pristine - paradise actually. My family and I rented chairs daily from the beach club - impeccably managed by Sarah and Lorenzo. Lido di Ravello is a must for anyone visiting the Amalfi Coast!

If we could choose a place on the Amalfi coast where we would love to spend the rest of our lives - it would be Ravello! The whole road along the Amalfi coast is a technical masterpiece. But those few kilometers from Atrani to Ravello, perched in an almost vertical rock, were simply awesome! Our bus driver negotiated the hairpin curves and the narrow road with such confidence that we could admire the steep Valle del Dragone without worries. During the ascent, our guide informed us about famous artists, writers, actors, musicians who lived in Ravello: Giovanni Boccaccio, Greta Garbo, Edvard Grieg, M. C. Escher! It was one of those Aha moments: yes, we saw those scenes on his graphics! The bus left us just outside the main tunnel which runs under Ravello and we walked up to the second pedestrian tunnel. On our left, we saw the Oscar Niemeyer concert hall in which the Ravello Music Festival is held in the summer. In the background, the view was breathtaking: the little towns of Minori and Maiori below on the coast and Salerno in the distance. After the tunnel, we arrived at the Piazza Duomo. Unfortunately, the Doumo was closed. We knew that we did not have enough time to go to the Villa Cimbrone and the famous Terrazzo dell'infinito, so we decided to visit the Villa Rufolo, its Entrance Tower is on the Piazza Duomo.
