If you think Ravello looks romantic enough to be a film set without extra dressing, then you’re on the right track, John Huston set his film, ‘Beat the Devil’ here. In addition to romance and gorgeous views, Ravello also has an historic centre, and has won the hearts of numerous artists, writers and musicians alike.
The town's lively heart is the Piazza del Duomo, where it’s quite easy to spend a whole morning with a cappuccino watching the world go by. If you need a break pop into the richly decorated 11th-century Duomo with its magnificent bronze doors. Apart from the church and the charms of its little cobbled alleys, Ravello’s other star attractions are the gardens. The charmingly dilapidated Villa Rufolo lies amongst lush gardens with stunning views down over the coast, dizzying feet below, and a little further out of town, the Villa Cimbrone’s gardens are equally gorgeous, dotted with statues and temples, and a belvedere overlooking the town of Atrani.
