Villa Rufolo in Ravello, open April–August.
A 13th-century villa in the heart of Ravello with terraced gardens cascading toward the sea.
The Wagner Terrace — named after the composer who found inspiration here — is one of the most romantic ceremony settings on the coast.
Just the perfect place for a great view. Actually is the only place that I visit and anywhere you turn the camera you spot a perfect place to make a beautiful picture. Highly Recommend. Best experience.
