Custom tour packagesRavello

Ravello is the quintessential postcard image of Italy's Amalfi Coast. Elegant noble estates, jaw-dropping coastal scenery, cozy alleys in the historic center, colorful gardens, gourmet restaurants, quality shopping, and a vibrant artistic life. Known as the City of Music thanks to its yearly summer classical music festival, the town has welcomed artists and art lovers for centuries. It is here that Wagner composed the second act of the Parsifal. For decades beloved by Hollywood celebrities, it was made famous by Jackie Kennedy's villa and Bogey's movie set.

A lofty perch for art lovers with sweeping Amalfi Coast views

Ravello is less crowded and more exclusive than nearby Positano and Amalfi, in no small part because Ravello is perched in the hills, 1,200 ft above sea level. Ravello isn't as convenient a base for the usual Amalfi Coast day trips, other than for scenic hikes, as its location can dramatically increase journey times. There are plenty of reasons to spend most of your time in Ravello, especially if you're staying at one of the luxury resort properties. Ravello's central piazza and the narrow alleys and streets surrounding it were made to be enjoyed and explored, while visits to the various gardens are a must.

Things to do in Ravello

Strolling around a postcard-perfect historic center, walking by romantic villas, and enjoying superb views at every turn will definitely be your favorite pastime during your trip to Ravello. Yet, there's more to explore on the Amalfi Coast and beyond on day trips from Ravello. A private drive across the treasures of the Amalfi Coast or a private day trip to the world-famous Pompeii are not to be missed. If water activities are more to your liking, though, we recommend a private cruise along the Amalfi Coast or a day trip to the famed Capri.
