Another great villa to be explored in Ravello. The architecture is so interesting and inspiring. The gardens are beautiful. It's almost impossible to take a bad photo here!

The building was beautiful and old. We were upstairs at a concert that was wonderful. This was more majestic than most crumbling buildings throughout Italy.

If you are in Ravello you must go to this place. One of the most amazing views of my life. A wonderful garden with Ravello's fantastic view on the background. It was THE experience for us on our honeymoon.

I’m finally posting photos from my trip to the beautiful town of Ravello which lies high in the mountains above the Amalfi coast in southern Italy. I highly recommend visiting this place, unless … you are afraid of heights! This was our last day on Amalfi coast during this trip and we could have spend it on the beach, –... More

Take the Sita bus up from Amalfi. Cost is 2.50 euros. Sometimes the bus goes to Scala first so don't panic if the bus seems to be heading in the wrong direction! The bus stops at Ravello and you then walk through a short tunnel into the main square. Villa Rufulo is immediately on your left. Admission cost is 5... More

Villa Rufolo deserves a special visit, even if Ravello in not part of your itinerary. It is hard to say what is more important: villa's architectural uniqueness or layout and the view. On the first element, the Villa presents and outstanding example of Norman architecture, influenced by Arabic motives. Still, villa's beautiful terraces, flower garden and a stunning view over...

It is not difficult why travellers on the past and present fall in love with Villa Rufolo, the views from the garden terraces are truly beautiful and magnificent! There was an art exhibition when we visited and it was a lovely exhibition. A video presentation made up of black & white photos showing scenes from various Ravello music festivals in... More

Villa Rufolo is just off of the main square in Ravello, and costs 5 euros per person to enter. It is worth the money for the spectacular views alone! The house and gardens are a joy to walk around, but really what you come for is a picture in front of the very tree and scenery that is often associated... More

The 13th century Villa Rufolo costs 5 Euro to enter and it is worth every Euro for the magnificent view and sense of serenity you get from entering this place. The hanging gardens are truly beautiful. The view you get from inside the gardens is the Amalfi Coast view that you will see on many Amalfi Coast travel guidebook front... More
