Ravello
Overview
Ravello sits high above the Amalfi Coast, removed from the crowds and movement below. It’s less about beaches and more about perspective—open views, quiet streets, and a slower rhythm that feels noticeably different from the rest of the coast.
This is where you come to step back a bit.
It’s especially well-suited for a more relaxed stay, or as a day that feels intentionally unhurried.
Ravello
Where to Stay
Ravello is one of the best places on the coast to stay if you value:
- quiet
- space
- uninterrupted views
Look for:
- properties with terraces overlooking the coastline
- proximity to the main square (without being directly on it)
- gardens or outdoor spaces—you’ll actually use them here
Ravello
Where to Eat
Dining in Ravello tends to be more relaxed and less crowded than along the coast.
Focus on:
- restaurants with views, especially at sunset
- longer, slower meals
- reservations for dinner, even though it’s quieter
This is a place to sit, not rush.

What to Do
Ravello doesn’t require much planning—that’s part of the appeal.
- Visit the gardens at Villa Cimbrone or Villa Rufolo
- Walk through town and around the quieter side streets
- Spend time simply taking in the views
- Pair it with a long lunch or early evening aperitivo
Ravello
Notes that Matter
- It’s not a beach town — plan accordingly
- Transportation takes a bit more effort — but it’s worth it
- Best enjoyed slowly — don’t try to “fill the day.”
- Ideal as a contrast to the more active parts of the coast
Ravello is less about what you do—and more about how you feel while you’re there.
