Hilltop town of Ravello
ITALY
2nd March 2014
If driving along the winding roads doesn't make you ill, the town of Ravello is a short distance from the town of Amalfi. Situated up on the hilltops, offering amazing views of the Amalfi coast and lookout over the ocean. With the sun shining, you will find locals with their children strolling about in the town's main square, just in front of ‘The Duomo Ravello.’
A beautiful garden resides in 'Villa Rufolo.' Situated near the town's main square. The garden offers luscious greens and old stone architecture, plus not to forget the views of the big blue coast. When it comes time for lunch, through a short tunnel (just outside the entrance of Villa Rufolo) you will find a restaurant called ‘Garden.’ It’s a great place to relax and have a bite to eat, surrounded by stunning views.
The menu choices may seem limited and boring but don't be fooled. The food is divine and comes out served on colourful hand-painted tableware. Lunch here, definitely hits the spot – seriously satisfied! Overall, Ravello, during the low season is fairly low key and quiet. So the best time to visit would be during the summer, from July to about mid-September when the ‘Ravello Music Festival’ is in full swing, providing music and opera -http://www.ravellofestival.com/home.php
