This mountain top town is an intriguing collection of elegant villas, winding medieval streets and a beautiful cathedral to name but a few of its attractions.

In fact, a superb music festival in honour of Wagner’s music is held here during the summer months.
Begin your tourist trail of Ravello with a visit to the magnificent Villa Rufolo. Built in the 13th century by a rich merchant family, Villa Rufolo is one of the most lavish villas along the Amalfi coast and overlooks Piazza Vescovado in the heart of the town.
In the late 1800s the villa was restored to its former glory when a Scottish botanist bought it and designed colourful gardens to bloom around it. Every year during the summer months, wonderful concerts and performances are hosted here at Villa Rofolo so why not attend one in the coming year?

Ravello is now known as ‘La Città della Musica’ which means ‘The City of Music’ and would be an excellent place to come and stay at for a few days. Taste the delicious cuisine of Ravello that blends the very freshest produce from land and sea.
Savour a zesty dessert here called ‘Delizia al Limone’ which is a lemon sponge cake filled and topped with a velvety lemon custard! Ravello is a tourist haven with lots to do and see and while you’re here, why not make the short trip just across the valley from this town to visit Scala, another charming commune hugging the Amalfi coastline?
Spend your next Italian vacation in Campania and experience the very best of scenery, culture and cuisine!
