This town sits high above the sea along the Lattari mountain range, 365m (1,200ft) to be exact. The views from Ravello are extraordinary. Start at the Villa Rufolo and take the quintessential picture over the Norman and Moorish-style tower and the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Wind through the town’s pedestrian-only lanes to the Villa Cimbrone to visit the well-tended gardens and walk the precipitous and sculpture-lined Terrace of Infinity. The two-hour walk between the town’s main square Piazza Duomo and Piazza Fontana Moresca is filled with 11th- and 12th-century churches, romantic crumbling villas and gleaming restored hotels where celebrities and royalty once stayed on their visits to this exclusive destination.
