Villa Rufolo is home to one of the picture-postcard views of not only Ravello but of the Amalfi Coast itself. The main attractions of the villa are its gardens and its amazing panoramas across the coastline to Maiori and Minori in the distance.
Walking through the gardens you'll be struck at the variety of colours and the meticulous order of the dramatic setting. Among the places of interest within Villa Rufolo are the Tower Gateway, the Cloister, the Great Tower, the well, the Friezes and Chapel which give just a hint of the complex's glorious past. |
