Villa Cimbrone Ravello

The town of Ravello on the Amalfi Coast is renown for its art and architecture and for its exquisite natural setting. The graceful arabesque curves of arches, vaults, windows and cloisters, the cupolas, whose rounded forms echo the sea pines that dot the skyline, the delicate wooden trellises laden with bright yellow lemons and green leaves built on the narrow strips of terraced land perched on racky hillsides, the nearby mountains and the expanse of blue sea all create a vision unique in the world.

This combination of remarkable, inspiring views, the variety of fragrances and colours, the play of light and shade, is the appropiate setting for the jewel-like gardens of the HVC which were once the site of an ancient Roman farm, the "Cimbronium" 20 acres in size, sitting like a ships prow at the tip of Ravello's promontory. Yesterday and today live in perfect harmony have for the memories and achievements of past residence of the Amalfi Coast are constantly renewed by contemporary accomplishments.
