THE LITTLE TOWN ON THE HILL: RAVELLO IS THE BEST KEPT SECRET OF THE AMALFI COAST

Ravello is located on the top of a hill, overlooking the Amalfi Coast. While it may not have the added bonus of being a short walk to the beach, Ravello certainly holds some of the best views on the coast. So scenic in fact, that the town gained UNESCO World Heritage status in 1997.

While it is a very popular small town in it's own right, a day tour to Ravello is a great way of seeing a local piece of rural Italy along with some exquisite countryside in Italy and a typical small town dramatically situated on a cliff side.

Ravello It is often referred to as the most charming town whens tourists visit the Amalfi coast and with good reason. Ravello feels a little more cut off from the rest of the world and this is in no small way due to the precarious nature at which is lies so high up.

It makes for dramatic scenery but the town is small, ideal for walking and although the paths which lead down to the coast are very steep, they make a nice hike for those who have the energy. Ravello is quiet, the streets have many nice little restaurants and dainty shops.

If you are taking any private tours in Italy and want to see somewhere a little less busy with tourists, Ravello is a nice option and the fact that you don't need to travel so far means a lot more time to explore the actual destination. The drive is scenic on the way up but many will not fancy having to do the driving themselves and if you would prefer to avoid the inconvenience of taking the local buses, a private driver is likely to be the best way to visit Ravello.
