Villa Rufolo
Renowned for its moonlight concerts, Villa Rufolo was built in the 13th century for a wealthy local family. The villa is famed for its cascading gardens, which were created in 1853 by Francis Neville Reid, a Scotsman who bought the property and not only took care of its restoration, but also designed the current layout. The gardens are known for their luxurious flower beds, which blossom in bursts of exotic colors throughout the year, as well as for offering panoramic views of the world-famous Amalfi Coast. German composer Richard Wagner visited the villa in 1880 and was so overcome by the attractiveness of the location that he later used it as a setting in of one of his operas. Check the official website for an accurate list of all upcoming concerts and other events at this site.

From Amalfi we took a bus up to RAVELLO, a lush and peaceful version of an Italian hill village. A traffic free village with spectacular views of the coast and terraced hillside supporting grapevines.... more

Beautiful gardens with amazing views. Liked it better than villa Cimbrone. located right next to parking lot and main plaza. Ravello should not be missed. Best looking village on Amalfi Coast.

Nice old villa, with well curated garden. Great views from the terrace. Just at the entrance of the town, easy to find. Park just outside the city gate.

This was a great experience, and we had a great time. When you arrive here, it’s a little deceptive as it appears you’re paying €7 just to get into the tower. However, there are actually extensive and lovely gardens to visit too. We would definitely come back here, as the views are amazing!

Amazing villa with outstanding views overlooking the Amalfi coast. It has a very rich history and you will feel like you are transported back in time. The yard and the garden are well maintained and beautiful. Many spots for taking pictures for a lifetime of memories.

Villa Rufolo was a hidden treasure in a rather tiny but attractive village. A Moorish castle with an attractive garden and probably the best view over the sea! One little remark to the lady who sells the tickets: madame, I understand that you don't have the most interesting job in the world, but selling tickets while constantly talking to friends/family through your cellphone, hardly noticing the visitors itself, is very rude.

A beautiful and sprawling historic villa featuring panoramic views from the top of Ravello, including beautiful gardens, a mix of ancient Roman and Arab-influenced European architecture as different parts of the villa have been renovated over the years. Some beautiful artwork throughout also, including the beautiful Alvero Della Vita (tree of life) ceramic exhibit created by modern women artists. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely villa with beautiful gardens and views of the coast line and other nearby villas. Walking around the villa really gives you a feel of what living in opulence feels like! Entrance fee was around 7€, they accept cash or credit. Overall recommend allocating about 30 mins - 1hr here to walk around, explore, and take in the views.
