Ravello Vacation Guide

Perched on a cliff 350 meters above the sea, Ravello commands the ultimate vista over the Amalfi Coast. It's a magical location that the French poet, André Gide, evocatively described as "nearer to the sky than to the shore." This unique landscape has inspired the likes of composers Richard Wagner and Edward Grieg, painters William Turner and Miro, and authors D.H. Lawrence and Tennessee Williams. Gore Vidal, a longtime resident, described Ravello’s panorama as "the most beautiful in the world."

In the center of Ravello, there's the intricate 11th century Cathedral. Every July since the early 1950s, the town has hosted the celebrated Wagnerian Music Festival on Villa Rufolo's grounds. The Festival commemorates the composer's love for Ravello and the inspiration he derived from Villa Rufolo for the second act of Parsifal. Villa Rufolo houses a magnificent medieval castle surrounded by extensive gardens. The exotic oriental plants and fountains frame an excellent view over the jagged peaks and the Mediterranean Sea.
