Elegant and aristocratic, Ravello sits on a rocky spur, high above the Amalfi Coast. Magnificent palazzos, churches and gardens attest to its noble past, which lives on in today's rich cultural life, complemented by a striking, unmatched natural beauty. Among the best places from which to observe the world-famed vistas offered by this tiny hilltop town is from the town's two main squares (both within five minutes' walk of this building) or from the many town gardens that are open to the public. During the summer months, twilight Wagner concerts are performed in one of these gardens.

Located in a truly ancient palazzo near the top of the beehive that is Ravello, this comfortable apartment is actually accessed through its terrace, which offers a breathtaking view of the local coastline, all the way from Amalfi to the deep-green Cilento Peninsula. Although our building dates back to medieval times and the street entrance still looks as it might have four hundred years ago, the first-floor apartment (up 20 steps from the street) has been fully restored and is furnished with a mixture of nice antiques and comfy new pieces. Thanks to its vaulted ceilings, big windows and French doors, sunlight illuminates all the rooms. Off the terrace is the living/dining room with working fireplace, sofas, a desk, a dining table, TV, CD player and telephone. This room connects to the small kitchen, which is equipped with four burners, oven, microwave, and full freezer/fridge. Also on this side of the apartment is a service bathroom with sink, toilet and washing machine.

From Ravello's main square, Piazza Fontana, which offers a bar, a restaurant and two small shops, the apartment is 150 yards up a narrow street, followed by 20 steps up into the apartment. It is better not to have a car if you choose to stay here, but if you have one, you can park on the road below and use the ancient stone staircase (60 steps) to reach the building.
