Ravello, a jewel of the Amalfi Coast, is famous for its breathtaking panoramic position, perched on a rocky spur about 365 meters above sea level.

Its elegant atmosphere and historic villas with gardens overlooking the sea have made it an exclusive location for a charming and cultural stay. It is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
