Clinging to the cliffs above the Amalfi Coast, this town delivers Mediterranean views that will haunt your dreams long after departure. Villa Rufolo's gardens burst with color against the blue sea backdrop, while the outdoor concert venue might be the most dramatically positioned stage in Europe. Villa Cimbrone offers another perspective on perfection, with its Terrace of Infinity living up to its ambitious name. The Cathedral in Vescovado Square provides a cool, quiet counterpoint to sun-drenched vistas. Summer brings the Ravello Festival, when music fills the air in tribute to Wagner, who found inspiration here. Even the walk down to Atrani (all 782 stairs) rewards with vistas that make the inevitable climb back worthwhile.
