About Ravello
Ravello sits 350 meters above the sea on a cliff of the Amalfi Coast and has been revered for centuries as the "City of Music." Richard Wagner composed parts of his Parsifal here, and to this day, the famous Ravello Festival attracts classical music lovers from all over the world every summer. German cultural travelers particularly appreciate the legendary gardens of Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone, whose terraces offer a panoramic view that Gore Vidal once called "the most beautiful in the world." In contrast to the lively Amalfi or Positano, Ravello radiates an elevated tranquility - here one strolls through quiet alleys, listens to piano music from open windows, and enjoys the sunset with a glass of local wine. The seclusion on the mountain makes Ravello the perfect retreat for couples and those seeking peace.
