Ravello Travel Guide
One of my favorite places to visit in Italy. Trust me, book a 4 day weekend in Ravello before heading to Capri or Positano. Home to iconic cliffside gardens, Ravello is a hidden gem tucked away in the Amalfi Coast, Italy. Its sprawling mountains and endless seaside views make this resort town truly special. For a getaway that is both peaceful and energizing, book the next flight to Ravello, Italy. With my guide of where to stay, what to do, and top restaurants, your trip will be utterly unforgettable.

Pro Tip.
Book a full boat day to travel from Ravello to your next hotel in Positano or Capri. You’ll be able to bring your bags on board and enjoy the day instead of spending the day traveling to your next destination via car/ferry.
