Amalfi lies at the mouth of a deep ravine, surrounded by dramatic cliffs and coastal scenery.

At the top of a magnificent flight of stairs, the glorious cathedral of Amalfi, St. Andrew’s Duomo overlooks the Duomo sq., the heart of Amalfi.

From Amalfi a winding road ascends through lemon groves to Ravello, an romantic town in a superb situation above the Amalfi coast. There are two amazing villas, Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone, have beautiful gardens with incomparable views of the Amalfi coast. There is an ancient legend that it was Ravello where Satan transported Jesus during his second temptation to show the beauty of the world’s kingdoms.
