Ravello holidays

About Ravello

If you're looking for a holiday destination with a difference, then look no further than Ravello. Perched high up in the mountains, this dainty town offers spectacular views of the Bay of Salento and the Amalfi Coast. It's no wonder that celebrities such as Greta Garbo and Gore Vidal have been drawn to its unruffled charm. Ravello's manicured gardens are a sight to behold. Take a stroll through the wisteria-lined walkways of Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo, where you'll discover rose gardens and panoramic views that stretch for miles. It's said that the grounds of Villa Rufolo were the inspiration for Richard Wagner's opera, Parsifal, and the town hosts an internationally renowned classical music festival in his honour every year. If you're looking for a taste of the Mediterranean, then it's just a short drive to Amalfi, where you'll find a pebbly beach, a towering cathedral, and vibrant nightlife. Alternatively, take a boat from Amalfi's harbour to the island of Capri or pretty Positano.
