🧭 How to reach

If you want to stay in a quiet but central location, this property is perfect for you: in just a few minutes on foot you can reach the Duomo, Villa Rufolo, restaurants, local boutiques and the famous scenic lookout over the coast. The location is ideal for those who want to get around without a car, enjoying Ravello at a slow pace with everything within easy reach.

✅ If you are travelling by public transport

If your journey begins at Naples Capodichino Airport, the easiest way to reach the Amalfi Coast is to take the ALIBUS bus, which departs every 15-20 minutes. In about 20 minutes, it will take you directly to Naples Central Station.
Here you will find a complete guide on how to get from Naples Airport.

From here, you have two options:
🔹 By train: regional and high-speed trains connect Naples to Salerno in about 40-50 minutes.

🔹 By bus: you can take a direct bus to Salerno (journey time approx. one hour) with frequent departures from both the station and the Varco Immacolatella stop.

If you land at Salerno – Costa d'Amalfi airport, reaching the station is even easier thanks to the convenient Salerno Airlink shuttle bus, which will take you directly to the city centre in about 20 minutes.
Once you arrive in Salerno, continue your journey to Amalfi with the characteristic SITA SUD buses. Buses depart regularly from the station (Piazza Vittorio Veneto) with intervals that vary from 30 to 60 minutes depending on the time of year.
The Salerno-Amalfi route is a scenic experience in itself: along the way, you can admire Vietri sul Mare, Cetara, Maiori and Minori, passing through some of the most beautiful towns on the coast.
Once in Amalfi, take a second SITA bus to Ravello. The journey takes about 20-25 minutes on a road offering spectacular views of the sea and mountains. Tickets can be purchased conveniently via the Unico Campania app, at newsagents or official retailers.

📣 To help you plan your trip, check the updated SITA bus timetables so you can get around without any unexpected delays.

✅ If you prefer to arrive by ferry: the scenic route

If you want to experience the magic of the Amalfi Coast right away, choose the ferry: regular services run daily (from April to October) from Salerno – Molo Concordia to Amalfi. The crossing takes about 60-70 minutes and offers a unique perspective on the cliffs, hidden coves and colourful villages that run along the coast.
During high season, we recommend purchasing tickets online to avoid long queues at the ticket office. Once you disembark in Amalfi, continue easily by SITA bus to Ravello: the scenic 20-minute climb will be the last leg of a spectacular journey.

📣 To better arrange your trip, consult our guide to travelling by sea and book your tickets in advance.

✅ If you are travelling by car

If you prefer to travel by car, the route will offer unforgettable views, but requires caution on the panoramic bends typical of the Amalfi Coast. From Naples, take the A3 motorway towards Salerno and follow the signs for Vietri sul Mare – Costiera Amalfitana. From Vietri, take the famous Strada Statale 163 Amalfitana to Castiglione di Ravello. Here you will find signs for the panoramic road leading to Ravello.
For parking, you can book a space in a public car park at a cost of around 20 euros per day.

✅ How to reach Il Vetraio on foot from the centre of Ravello

Reaching Il Vetraio B&B on foot from the centre of Ravello is really easy and pleasant. Starting from the main road, walk about 250 metres along the SP1 northbound, then turn left onto Via Francesco Andrea. After a few steps, you will find a small staircase that leads to Piazza Fontana Moresca, one of Ravello's most characteristic squares. From here, continue along Viale Parco della Rimembranza, a quiet and well-kept road that will take you directly to the B&B.
The journey is short, immersed in the tranquillity of the village, and offers authentic views along the way: ideal for those who want to experience Ravello on foot, without rushing.

🗺️ Things to see on your doorstep

📍 Villa Rufolo

Exploring Villa Rufolo, just 300 metres from this property, means immersing yourself in an atmosphere suspended in time, where the nuances of history, nature and art merge into a single, unforgettable harmony.
Built in the 13th century by Nicola Rufolo in Arab-Norman style, the villa tells a story rich in splendour and charm. Strolling through the cloisters and towers, you immediately feel the breath of the past and an architecture that has enchanted artists and intellectuals, from Boccaccio to Wagner, who found inspiration here for the “Klingsor garden” in Parsifal.
But the real stars are the gardens: designed in the 19th century by Sir Francis Neville Reid, they are an explosion of colours and scents, a labyrinth of flowers, exotic plants and terraces overlooking the Gulf of Salerno. The “Garden of the Soul” is a sensory experience in itself, where nature and art come together in breathtaking settings. Walking along the path between flower-filled paths, fountains and pergolas, the view is lost in the extraordinary setting of the coast, offering postcard views that capture the heart.
Today, Villa Rufolo is a living treasure chest: it hosts the famous Ravello Festival, with summer concerts featuring music, dance and contemporary art.

📍 The gardens of Villa Cimbrone

Villa Cimbrone is a marvel that seems to have come out of a romantic dream. Rooted in the 11th century on the “Cimbronium”, it was transformed in the 1920s by the English banker Ernest William Beckett, who blended neo-Gothic, Moorish and Venetian elements in his restoration, creating a fascinating mix of styles.
Its gardens, the real stars of the show, are laid out in suspended terraces and cloisters, among groves, fountains and statues. The famous Temple of Bacchus and the panoramic tower evoke poetry, but it is the Terrace of Infinity, with its rows of marble busts in harmony with the sea, that represents the essence of the place: a natural balcony where it is impossible not to stop and admire the sky merging with the horizon.
During the 20th century, Villa Cimbrone became a crossroads for intellectuals, poets and artists such as Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot and Greta Garbo, who found inspiration in its timeless atmosphere. Today, part of the buildings house an elegant five-star hotel.
Visiting Villa Cimbrone is a multi-sensory experience: walking along flower-lined avenues, passing through romantic arches and enjoying breathtaking views. If you love art, dream of picture-postcard views and want to feel like you are on a journey through time, surrounded by history, nature and elegance, this treasure chest suspended between earth and sky will end up being your favourite place.

📍 Ravello Cathedral

Ravello Cathedral is one of those places that captivate you at first glance, a concentration of history and charm that beats in the heart of the village. Dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta and San Pantaleone, this Romanesque-style gem, built in the 11th century, dominates Piazza del Vescovado with its elegant simplicity. The entrance is an invitation to slow down: its bronze doors tell ancient stories, carved in precious reliefs depicting symbols, animals and scenes from sacred life. But the real surprise is inside: the two medieval ambones are extraordinary works of art, among which the one dedicated to the Gospel stands out, supported by twisted columns and decorated with a marble eagle ready to take flight. Walking through the bright naves, you can breathe in a timeless atmosphere, enriched by refined details and a perfect balance between solemnity and beauty. Descending into the crypt, now used as a museum, a world of artefacts, sarcophagi and millennial testimonies opens up. The cathedral also houses the relic of St. Pantaleon, protagonist of a fascinating event: the annual liquefaction of his blood, still awaited today with deep devotion. An unmissable stop for those who want to experience Ravello with their eyes and their heart.

You are also close to:

📍 Scala, the oldest village on the Amalfi Coast, which we recommend visiting for its authentic atmosphere, breathtaking views of the valley and the sea, ancient churches such as the Cathedral of San Lorenzo and nature trails, ideal for those who love walking away from mass tourism. Here you can breathe in the slow pace of life, enjoy quiet squares and discover the true soul of the coast, with its history, tradition and spectacular views that embrace Ravello, Atrani and the endless blue of the Mediterranean.

📍 Atrani: the smallest village on the Amalfi Coast

📍 Amalfi, which you can also reach on foot via a pleasant walk, The path from Ravello to Atrani and Amalfi starts right in the centre of the village, where a discreet sign points towards “Amalfi” at the beginning of the steep staircase. You will soon find yourself descending ancient steps and winding alleys, immersed in the silence that only nature can offer. After about 45 minutes, you will reach the picturesque village of Atrani, with its pastel-coloured houses clinging to the rock. From there, a short detour takes you to Amalfi, crossing the historic pedestrian street that offers stunning views of the sea and urban architecture, making this walk an authentic and unforgettable experience.

🎉 Things to do nearby

Staying in Ravello is a precious opportunity to experience the Amalfi Coast from a strategic and peaceful location, perfect for easily reaching nearby villages.

✅ Take advantage of this opportunity to explore the wonders within walking distance, such as Minori, a small jewel by the sea that you can reach directly on foot from Ravello by following an ancient staircase that winds its way through terraces and lemon groves. It is an easy and scenic walk that is worth every step, especially at sunset or early in the morning.
Once you arrive in Minori, don't miss the opportunity to continue along Tha path of The Lemons, a fragrant and scenic route that connects Minori to Maiori in about a kilometre's walk through citrus terraces and postcard views of the sea.

✅ Of course, the icons of the Amalfi Coast, such as Amalfi and Positano, are unmissable stops.
But don't stop at the most famous places: the coast is full of lesser-known villages that are well worth a detour. Praiano, for example, is the perfect choice for enjoying an aperitif at sunset in a quiet corner with spectacular views, while Furore enchants with its hidden fjord, a natural wonder where sea and rock meet in a fairytale setting.

✅ If you have a few extra days, treat yourself to a longer trip to discover places that require a little more time but will reward you with unique experiences. Naples is within easy reach and is worth every minute of the journey for its overwhelming energy, the history that permeates the air and, of course, the pizza. From Amalfi or Maiori, you can also set off for an unforgettable day in Capri, exploring its famous Faraglioni rocks, the Blue Grotto and the elegant streets of Anacapri. And if you love archaeology and ancient history, Pompeii is one of the most fascinating experiences, where every step among the ruins tells a story suspended in time.

✅ To make your holiday even more special, the Amalfi Coast offers a range of authentic experiences: take part in a cooking class in Amalfi to discover the secrets of Campania cuisine or let yourself be guided on a wine tasting tour through the vineyards of Tramonti, where every sip speaks of tradition and passion. If you want to impress your other half, an aperitif on a boat at sunset will make you dream!

✅ Looking for something more adrenaline-fuelled to do as a couple? Then we recommend this parasailing flight to admire the coast from above. And if you dream of a trek to remember, The Path of the Gods is a must: a route suspended between sky and sea, with spectacular views that will accompany you throughout the walk. A recommended alternative that is easier and quicker to reach? Definitely the Valle delle Ferriere in Amalfi!
