Perched in the hills of Ravello, Villa Cimbrone is a historic gem tracing its roots to the 11th century.
Famous for its enchanting gardens and the dramatic *Terrazza dell'Infinito*—where sweeping views of the Amalfi Coast unfold—the villa was transformed by Lord Grimthorpe with antique relics and verdant landscaping, and it remains one of Italy’s most dreamlike spots.

Questa villa storica, un eccezionale esempio di architettura medievale, è circondata da rigogliosi giardini e offre viste mozzafiato sul Mar Mediterraneo. La Villa fu costruita nel XIII secolo per la famiglia Rufolo, una prospera famiglia di mercanti originaria della città di Ravello. Famosa per i suoi magnifici giardini, che si estendono su più livelli, Villa Rufolo offre viste spettacolari sulla Costiera Amalfitana. I Rufolo hanno rappresentato per oltre due secoli il simbolo della potenza economica e politica della Ravello medievale, per poi decadere nel breve volgere del trentennio che va dalla metà del XIII sec. al 1285, quando furono completamente rovinati per essersi schierati contro gli Angioini al tempo dei Vespri siciliani.
This historic villa, an exceptional example of medieval architecture, is surrounded by lush gardens and offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. The Villa was built in the 13th century for the Rufolo family, a prosperous merchant family from the town of Ravello. Famous for its magnificent gardens, which extend over several levels, Villa Rufolo offers spectacular views of the Amalfi Coast. The Rufolos represented the symbol of the economic and political power of medieval Ravello for over two centuries, only to decline in the short span of thirty years from the mid-13th century to 1285, when they were completely ruined for having sided against the Angevins at the time of the Sicilian Vespers.
