Then you climb up past Castiglione to the Villa Cimbrone, on Ravelloโ€™s headland. Take your time to wander around this ancient town, โ€™closer to the sky than the seashoreโ€™ according to the French novelist, Andre Gide. Ravello is one of the most exclusive villages of the Amalfi coast, and has two magnificent villas, - the 11th century Villa Rufolo, once a papal residence and later the home of Richard Wagner, and the Villa Cimbrone, a sumptious 19th century mansion with fabulous gardens and unequalled views over the Gulf of Salerno.

      Why not catch a ferry (April to October only) to the Isle of Capri - the most famous of the three islands in the Gulf of Naples. In the Tyrrhenian Sea off the Sorrento peninsula, it is an ancient continuation of the Latteri mountains which form the backbone of the peninsula. From both Amalfi and Positano, there are boats sailing for Capri throughout the day - take an early boat so that you have enough time to explore. There are many places to visit - including several Roman villas - the most famous being the Villa Jovis - the Natural Arch, the Faraglioni (3 impressive sea stacks), Via Krupp (a historic switchback paved footpath leading down to Marina Piccola), and Villa Lysis - dedicated to โ€™the youth of loveโ€™, built in 1905.
