Sun and nature, tradition and prestige, the Amalfi coast and Ravello, architectonic and artistic masterpieces that frame Villa Rufolo like a timeless treasure.
A favourite haunt of musicians, artists and poets, eulogised in the poetry of Bocaccio and where Richard Wagner saw the living image of the garden of his imagination: a unique experience that takes you into a different world.
The jewel in the crown of Ravello, veduta_villa the defiant stronghold of the once great Amalfi Maritime Republic, contains centuries of history, magnificent works of art, and legends.
Villa Rufolo talk about: In 1845 Francis Neville Reid came to Naples where he married Sophie Caroline Gibson. Villa Rufolo was restored and some social centers were to be destined to poor people.
Neville was a successful businessman, but he was also interested in botany and in taking care of his garden. Sophie was a cultured and intelligent woman who loved helping others.
Silence.
No more words.
No more.
