In a nutshell
Tiny but expensive.
Jetgirly Says: A mosaic welcoming visitors to Ravello proclaims it to be the City of Music. In general, there are musical events at least four times per month in this small town, normally featuring classical music. For more information I suggest phoning the Ravello Festival or clicking the...
sandysmith Says: 10 -15 minute walk from the main square of Ravello - right of the far edge is the superb Villa Cimbrone. It was built for an English gentleman William Berckett and during the golden years was the abode of the English Grand Travellers - Winston Churchill , Greta Garbo and her...
aukahkay Says: Villa Cimbrone is a historic building dating from the eleventh century AD, although little of the original structure is now visible. The building was much altered and extended, using a motley collection of salvaged architectural elements from other parts of Italy and...
aukahkay Says: Villa Rufolo is the masterwork in Ravello's extensive repetoire of historical showpieces. It bears the name of the family which built it in the 13th century. The buildings in Villa Rufolo are in Arabian-Normal style. Here every year, Wagner's concerts are celebrated as a...
shawnmbaldwin Says: If you are in Ravello try to go to this one night....I am not a classical music fan....but the setting is breath taking. If you can afford it at least go for an hour. One tip we sneaked out a little before the end since it was 11:00 and we had not had dinner...pissed a few...
Belvedere Principessa di Piemonte
Cristian_Uluru Says: The nice Belvedere Principessa di Piemonte is located in front of the church of San Giovanni del Toro. It was part of the ancient Albergo Palumbo but nowdays it is a pubblic park. Here you can have a nice view over the coast.
Villa Cimbrone: Belvedere Cimbrone
Cristian_Uluru Says: Belvedere Cimbrone is the main attraction of the villa and of Ravello. It is located on the leaning point of the spur on which Ravello rises; here beautiful statues accompany the wonderful views on Atrani, the Amalfi coastal in direction of Salerno and ,if the weather is...
Chiesa di San Giovanni del Toro
Cristian_Uluru Says: The church of San Giovanni del Toro (Church of St.John of the Toro) was built in the 13th century and restored in 1715. The facade has got three nice doors. The interior has got three naves with on the altar a roman grave and a fantastic pulpit with tiles in blue maiolica....
Cristian_Uluru Says: Villa Cimbrone is famous for its wonderful garden. There you can see rose garden close to the Arabesque cloister. Very nice is the temple of Venus, the Belvedere of Mercury (with the statue of the god) and the gazebo Cibrone with an ancient Roman statue.
Cristian_Uluru Says: Inside Villa Cimbrone you can see the nice cloister restored in 1917. As you can see from the photos its architecture take inspiration from Arabesque one. The crypt was restored between 1911 and 1913; it is open as a loggia on the sea and it offers a marvelous sight on the...

Ristorante Hotel Bonadies: Don't Miss the view
Balam Says: We stopped here for something to eat on our way over the mountains after our drive along the Amalfi coast. The restaraunt and hotel are quite lovely and the view from the restaraunt and veranda are amazing. we chose from the Snack menu and had a glass of wine, small salad...
mrmassageinsd Says: We were treated like royalty at this family restaurant...a can't miss if you ever visit Ravello..The cook (Netta) came out of the kitchen and pinched my cheek just like in the commercials.. Any pasta dish will work here...but the “pasta mista” is worth the money.
gmg61 Says: You can get to Ravello by two roads.One is the most famous, and it's the coastal road that leads yu there starting from Sorrento or from Salerno. if you come to Salerno, just before Amalfi turn to the right and you'll climb to Ravello in about 10 minutes. If you come from...
Winding road by bus up to Ravello
angiebabe Says: The road up to Ravello from Amalfi or Atrani is in good condition but its very winding - winding its way up to get higher and higher to the towns and villages high up in the hills above the coastline.The buses from Amalfi leave about every 20 to 30 minutes and take about 20...
Museo del Corallo "Camo": Coral and Cameos
TRimer Says: Camo, a coral and cameo factory in Ravello, sells jewelry from simple to overwrought, crafted from shells and coral. Mr. Camo, the owner, carves the cameos himself. Also check out his collection of judaica. Hillary Rodham Clinton is among those who have dropped by. Behind...
gmg61 Says: The terrace gardens where the lemon trees grow on the Amalfi coast are a unique feature of the area. The lemons that grow here are big and sweet. This kind of lemon is called pane (bread) because they are so big that they can be cut in slices exactly as you do with a round...
The Perils of a Hillside Village
nicolaitan Says: The adjacent image gives a feel for the village of Ravello - steep hills, pedestrian only walkways and streets, and lots of cobblestones and irregular pavement. Walk carefully, bring very comfortable durable shoes. And when you are walking, be sure and enjoy the inviting...
rbiernac Says: While we enjoyed concerts in busy Ravello, we had an enchanting more fragrant stay next door in the authentically restored farmhouse at Monte di Grazia in Tramonti. My wife and I, Californians interested in wine, visited for two days in the Spring and plan to return for an...
gmg61 Says: It is a strict enclosure convent built in a magnificent position, not far away from villa Cimbrone. You can only visit the atrium and the entrance where is the gate and the Ruota (wheel) . The gate is used for the rare contacts between the nuns and the outer world, keeping...
Cristian_Uluru Says: Scala is a nice small village located in the mountain in front of Ravello. The most important monument of the village is the Duomo (cathedral) which was built in the 11th century. It has got a romanesque shape and in its interior you can see fantastic sculptures like Il...
