Villa Ravello View
Ravello lies in a dominating position on the hill top facing on the Amalfi Coast, it offers the visitor a spectacular view over the whole Amalfitana coast. The tranquility of the town greatly appealed to poets and writers and international jet set. The wealth of art works in Ravello is preserved in numerous ecclesiastical buildings such as the Cathedral of St Pantaleone, Patron saint of the town; the adjacent bell tower, the Church of St Martino, the Church of St Angelo and the Church of St Giovanni del Toro. The heart of Ravello is the Piazza Vescovado, with the Castle ruins, the Cathedral and Palazzo Rufolo. Villa Rufolo should not be missed, a building which is home to much of the art of Ravello and surrounded by splendid gardens, where numerous musical and cultural events are held. Villa Cimbrone is also well worth a visit.
The villa is located on the way into the town of Ravello and only 5 minutes walk to the pedestrian area. The garden is on several terraces full of flowering lemon and orange trees, bougainvilleas and many different Mediterranean plants. On a widest terrace there is the great pool (21metres long) with an amazing view of the sea and the Amalfi Coast. The area is equipped during summer by umbrellas, sundeck, chairs and a shower. Near the pool there is a small playground area for children. Close to the main house there is a cool dining area with barbecue and a pizza oven.
