📍Villa Cimbrione - Ravello : Is this the most romantic view on Earth?

 🇮🇹 Is this the most romantic view on Earth? (Save this for your future trip!)🏔️

Most travelers visit the Amalfi Coast for the beaches of Positano or the lively streets of Amalfi. But if you want to find the true soul of this coast, you have to go higher. Much higher.🪂

📍 Welcome to Ravello, the City of Music. Sitting 365 meters (1,200 ft) above the sea, Ravello is where the chaos fades away. And hidden at the very end of this medieval town lies a place that feels like a dream: Villa Cimbrone.

Walking through its gates is like stepping back in time. You wander through lush English-style gardens, past blooming wisteria, ancient temples, and marble statues, until the path suddenly opens up to the sky.

🌊 The Infinity Terrace (Terrazza dell'Infinito) This isn't just a balcony. It is a masterpiece of nature and architecture. Lined with 18th-century marble busts, the terrace offers a view so vast that the blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea melts perfectly into the sky.

✍️The American writer Gore Vidal, a long-time resident of Ravello, famously described this as "the most beautiful place that I had ever seen in all my travels."

💡 Did you know? This villa has been a hideaway for the elite for decades. From Greta Garbo, who famously "eloped" here in 1938 to find privacy, to Winston Churchill and Virginia Woolf. They all came here for the same reason: the silence and that view.

📝 Your Mini-Guide to Villa Cimbrone:

1. The "Lazy" Way: Take the SITA bus or a taxi up to Ravello. From the main square, it's a flat 15-minute scenic walk to the "Villa Cimbrione" .

2. The "Brave" Way: Hiking from Amalfi? Get ready for 1,500+ stairs! It takes about 45-60 minutes and it’s steep, but the views are incredible.

3. Best time: Arrive right when they open (9:00 AM) to have the terrace to yourself, or late afternoon for the "golden hour" light.

4. Tickets: Yes "Villa Cimbrione" , it’s a luxury hotel, but the gardens are open to the public daily (ticket required, approx €10)

✨ The Challenge: When you get to the terrace, don't just take a photo and leave. Put your phone down for 5 minutes. Listen to the silence. Feel the breeze. It’s a memory that will stay with you forever.
