"Perched
on a ridge high above Amalfi and the neighboring town
of Atrani, the enchanting village of Ravello has
stupendous views, quiet lanes, two important
Romanesque churches, and irresistibly romantic gardens
at Villas Cimbrone and Rufolo. Set "closer to the
sky than the sea," according to Andre Gide, the
town has been the ultimate aerie ever since it was
founded as a smart suburb for the richest families of
Amalfi's 12th-century maritime republic. Rediscovered
by English aristocrats a century ago, the town now
hosts one of Italy's most famous music
festivals."
