Villa Cimbrone (11th century) is a historic complex with Renaissance gardens transformed in 1904 by Lord Grimthorpe. Its famous 'Terrace of Infinity' (Terrazza dell'Infinito) offers iconic views of the Amalfi Coast and inspired artists such as Virginia Woolf and Greta Garbo.
The best seasons are spring (April-June) and autumn (September-October) thanks to the mild weather and smaller crowds. The early morning hours (9-11 am) are ideal for avoiding crowds and enjoying the golden light on the coast.
The main paths have uneven paving and some areas with stairs, which limits accessibility for wheelchairs. The main Belvedere terrace is accessible by ramp from the main entrance.
Just a 10-minute walk away are the iconic Villa Rufolo (home of the Wagner Festival) and Piazza Vescovado with Ravello Cathedral. Download a detailed tour at iaudioguia.com.
Wear comfortable shoes for walking on stone-paved paths, and bring water and sun protection. Do not miss the architectural details of the Medieval Cloister, and make the most of the shaded areas under the pergolas. Sunset from the Terrace of Infinity is magical!
