along the way to take a break if needed. Today, the pastel colored homes spilling down the mountain- side see travelers who come from around the world to experience one of the most romantic spots on the Amalfi Coast. Explore the narrow passageways lined with fashion boutiques and art galleries, soak up the sun at the beach, and stay on in the evening after the day trippers are gone to watch the sunset with a glass of prosecco by the sea.


RAVELLO – THE CITY OF MUSIC With a lofty setting in the mountains, Ravello stretch- es out along a promontory that seemingly hovers be- tween land and sea. Enchantment is just a part of daily life in Ravello, where beautiful vistas overlook-


ing the coastline and Bay of Salerno greet you at un- expected twists and turns. Limited traffic in the town and peaceful gardens like the Villa Cimbrone (www. villacimbrone.com) make Ravello a quieter choice for a stay on the Amalfi Coast. Tere’s no place better to take in the views than from the stunning infinity pool at the Hotel Caruso (www.belmond.com/hotel- caruso-amalfi-coast). If it seems like there’s music in the air, there probably is in Ravello, which is known as the City of Music. Every year from June to Sep- tember the Ravello Festival brings top-notch musi- cians, performers and artists from around the world to a specially built stage in the Villa Rufolo gardens. As the sun sets and lights begin to twinkle along the coastline, the real magic begins.
