Villa Rufolo’s garden is said to have inspired Wagner’s opera, Parsifal, which you can hear in the town’s opulent opera houses. If you want to explore the mountains there are opportunities for hiking and mountain biking, or you could head down to the coast for golden sandy beaches.
Luxury holidays in Ravello bring you a serene and tranquil atmosphere with beautiful surroundings. Emerald green mountains provide a backdrop to the town, while to the front you can take in views of the glittering Mediterranean Sea.
