On behalf of Peter and I, we would like to express our sincere thanks to you and your staff for making our
wedding/honeymoon week on June 24th so wonderful at Hotel Rufolo. Your hotel is lovely and the staff were very helpful. We especially appreciated the nice surprise of concert
ticket as well as the champagne waiting for us in our
room on June 25th. It was a lovely gesture and a really nice touch which we enjoyed. The rest of our Honeymoon through Italy from Firenze to Montalcino was a joy. However, Ravello will always have the most special memories because of the great town that it is and the wonderful

Is a little charming spot of the Amalfi Coast well know all over the world for its beauties. Perched on a 350 ft high cliff overlooking the blue sea of the Amalfi Coast, it has conserved its historical monuments through the ages in a natural setting which has few equals in the world. Founded in the VI century had its greatest and most prosperous period in the XIII century thanks to the commercial activities of its inhabitants. The valiant merchants built noble and sumptuous edifices and monuments which many centuries later still recall the city;s ancient splendour. One of the most important monuments is the Cathedral, founded in 1086, where one can admire the Ambo and the Pulpit decorated with Byzantine mosaics, the splendid bronze doors (1179) by Barisano da Trani and the Museum situated in the crypt. Other churches are San Giovanni del Toro, S.Maria in Gradillo, and the convent of St.Francesco with its library. Ravello chief;s glories are the two wonderful
gardens : Villa Cimbrone with its breathtaking view and Villa Rufolo with its ancient palace and flowery
gardens which inspired Richard Wagner for his Parsifal. In his honour, for fifty years, takes place the Wagner Festival during the month of July nevertheless there are concerts all the year round, for that reason Ravello has been called City of the Music. The ancient streets and the narrow alleyways allow the visitors to make romantic walks in this enchanting town and among the hills which surround the place. But its main characteristic is the graceful harmony and the
quiet which always bewitch the numerous guests that come to Ravello during all the year.
