Tour options: Positano-Amalfi-Ravello
excursion ravello car taxi serviceOne of the gems of the Amalfi Coast is Ravello, 350 meters above sea level, where the light effects and magical architecture create a vision of rare intensity. Its name is immortalized in Boccaccio’s Decameron. Famous for its tranquil and serene atmosphere, Ravello offers architectural gems of rare elegance. The 11th Century Duomo, dedicated to San Pantaleone, is rich with artistic treasures like the grand bronze central door adorned with 54 panels. To the right of the Cathedral a square tower marks the entrance to Villa Rufolo. Immersed in a verdant park of exotic and mediterranean flora, the original structure dates back to the 13th  century; and even today some of its arab-sicilian architecture is evident. The polychromatic arabesque colonnade is splendid. The garden is one of the most beautiful in Campania. Nature and men’s touch compete to create a highly evocative atmosphere: villas lined by limes trees and cypresses, cascades of flowers. From the belvedere the sea seems infinite.

Wagner’s inspiration for the Klingsor Garden , in his opera Parsifal, came from the gardens of Villa Rufolo. Villa Cimbrone was,  originally, a simple hut. It was bought in 1904 by Ernest William Beckett who transformed into an exceptionally fascinating Villa.  It has hosted many celebrated personalities, from Winston Churchill to Greta Garbo. There is a very special feeling in the cloister of the villa, still showing elements of the ancient arab-sicilian style it was built in. The belvedere is a terrace that gives on to infinity, and has no equal in this world. San Giovanni del Toro and Santa Maria a Gradillo churches, both built in the 12th century, also merit a visit. The San Giovanni del Toro church has a pulpit rich in mosaic decorations. The Coral Museum, which exhibits coral, cameos, decorated mother-of-pearl and shells from Roman times to the 1900’s, is also interesting.  Scala is close to Ravello, one of the most picturesque site of the coast. Its Cathedral has a wooden Deposition from the Cross dating back to the 1200’s.
