Ascend to Ravello — perched 350 m above the sea — and stand on the Terrace of Infinity at Villa Cimbrone, the view that Greta Garbo called the most beautiful in the world. A private guide unlocks the gardens and the history of this aristocratic hilltop town in complete exclusivity.
What to expect
Rosa meets you at Amalfi's port and travels with you by private car up the serpentine road to Ravello. Villa Cimbrone's rose garden unfolds in tiers of stone busts and bougainvillea before arriving at the famous belvedere — a sheer drop to the cobalt sea below. You also visit Villa Rufolo, whose Arabic-Norman cloister inspired Wagner's Parsifal. Lunch at a Michelin-recommended trattoria overlooking the valley is included in customised itineraries.
Good to know
Villa Cimbrone entry is approximately EUR 7 per person (pay on-site). Ravello is reached by a 25-minute drive from Amalfi — traffic on the SS163 can extend this; depart by 9 am to be safe. Wear comfortable flat shoes; Ravello's lanes are cobbled. Book Rosa at least 3 weeks ahead — she fills quickly.
