🧭 How to reach

La Luna di Cristina is located in Via Monte Brusara, in a panoramic and quiet location, about 1.5 kilometres from the historic centre of Ravello. It is the perfect distance for those seeking peace and quiet but still want to be within easy walking distance of the main attractions of the village, such as the charming Duomo and the splendid Villa Rufolo.

✅ If you are travelling by train or bus

If you arrive at Naples Capodichino airport, the easiest way to start your journey to the Amalfi Coast is to take an ALIBUS bus, which runs every 15-20 minutes and connects the airport with Naples Central Station in about 20 minutes.
Once at the station, you have two options:
🔹 By train: regional and high-speed trains reach Salerno in about 40-50 minutes.

🔹 By bus: you can take a direct bus to Salerno in about an hour, with frequent departures from the station or from the Varco Immacolatella stop.

If you land at Salerno – Costa d'Amalfi airport, reaching the centre is even easier thanks to the Salerno Airlink shuttle bus, which connects directly to the railway area in about 20 minutes.
Once you arrive in Salerno, continue with the convenient SITA SUD buses towards Amalfi. Departures are regular from Piazza Vittorio Veneto (in front of the station), with services every 30-60 minutes, depending on the time of year. The Salerno-Amalfi route is a scenic journey in itself: along the way, you will pass through picturesque villages such as Vietri sul Mare, Cetara, Maiori and Minori, with spectacular views of the sea.

Once you arrive in Amalfi, hop on a SITA bus bound for Ravello: the journey takes about 20-25 minutes. Tickets can be easily purchased through the Unico Campania app, at newsstands or from authorised retailers at the station.

📣 To better arrange your trip, you can check the updated SITA bus timetables here and find useful tips for getting around the coast without stress.

✅ If you prefer the ferry: the most scenic route

If you want to experience the Amalfi Coast at its most spectacular, consider arriving by sea. Ferries to Amalfi depart daily from Salerno (Molo Concordia), especially from April to October, with a crossing time of about 60-70 minutes between cliffs, hidden coves and colourful villages. This is undoubtedly the most scenic option to start your holiday.

In high season, ticket offices can be crowded, but you can buy tickets conveniently online to save time. Once you disembark at the port of Amalfi, take a SITA bus to Ravello and, in just over 20 minutes, you will arrive at your destination, enjoying a final stretch of scenic uphill road.

📣 To plan your trip in detail, we recommend consulting our updated guide to travelling by sea.
A tip: book your ferry tickets in advance: you can do so here!

✅ If you are travelling by car

If you are arriving by car, the route is simple but full of scenic bends. From Naples, take the A3 motorway towards Salerno and follow the signs for Vietri sul Mare – Costiera Amalfitana. From there, take the beautiful Strada Statale 163 Amalfitana and follow the coast to Castiglione di Ravello. Here you will find signs for the panoramic road leading to Ravello.

La Luna di Cristina has free private parking, available upon reservation: a valuable service in an area where parking is often limited. We recommend that you notify the property in advance to secure a spot.

📣 If you are travelling by car, you may also find it useful to take a look at our guide to parking on the Amalfi Coast, so you can get around the coast with greater peace of mind.

✅ How to reach La Luna di Cristina on foot from the centre of Ravello

From the heart of Ravello, reaching La Luna di Cristina is easy and pleasant. The walk is about 1.2 km and takes about 10-15 minutes, passing through small streets and picturesque views.
Starting from the roundabout on the SP1, head north-west for a few metres and continue on the SP1 for about 250 metres. Then turn left onto Via Francesco Andrea and take the stairs for a scenic shortcut. Continue along Via Lacco for 160 metres until you reach Piazza Andrea Mansi and Via San Trifone.

🗺️ Things to see on your doorstep

📍 Belvedere Principessa di Piemonte

Nestled among arches covered with climbing plants and flower beds, the Belvedere Principessa di Piemonte is a small panoramic gem suspended between the sky and the sea. Created in the early 1930s, this public garden owes its name to Maria José of Savoy, princess and later queen of Italy, who first set foot here during a concert at the nearby Villa Rufolo.
Strolling along the well-kept paths, you will feel enveloped in an atmosphere suspended in time, where the vegetation shades benches that are perfect for stopping and admiring the spectacle of the coast. In the background, the sparkling sea, the deep blue cliffs and the villages of Torello, Minori and Maiori mesh together in a panorama that looks like something out of a postcard.What makes this place truly special is its authenticity: free and open to all, it offers emotions within reach of every visitor. Every now and then, young married couples show up – the Belvedere is a popular destination for romantic photos – but the atmosphere is mostly that of a quiet retreat, ideal for a moment of introspective contemplation or pure romance with your other half.

📣 Here are ten more beautiful places to photograph on the Amalfi Coast!

If you love places steeped in history, you should know that the belvedere preserves the memory of a royal encounter with an almost fairy-tale flavour, when the princess charmed the people of Ravello and the garden was dedicated in her honour.
A little tip: to enjoy this place to the fullest, if you are travelling in the summer, bring mosquito repellent with you.

📍 Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone

If you want to experience an explosion of beauty, don't limit yourself to just one villa: Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone are two dream destinations that tell the unique stories, views and atmospheres of Ravello.
Villa Rufolo, built in the 13th century in Piazza Duomo, is a masterpiece of Arab-Norman architecture embellished with towers, cloisters and gardens suspended over the sea. Restored in the 19th century by Francis Neville Reid, these gardens were celebrated by Richard Wagner as his “Klingsor's garden” – a reference that gave rise to the famous Ravello Festival.

Amidst bougainvillea and flower-filled terraces, this is where music meets the landscape in a combination that thrills at first glance.
Villa Cimbrone, on the other hand, dates back to the 11th century and is a neo-Gothic jewel overlooking the famous Terrazza dell'Infinito: a balcony carved into the rock, dotted with marble busts, with a view that seems painted on the Gulf of Salerno. Strolling among fountains, temples and statues in a park rich in architectural features evokes romantic and mystical atmospheres, amplified by the sea breeze.

We highly recommend spending time at both: Villa Rufolo will captivate you with its history and secluded gardens, just a few steps from the main square, while Villa Cimbrone will offer you spectacular views and a longer route dotted with sculptures and unforgettable views.
If you want to feel immersed in the artistic soul of Ravello, start with Rufolo, then climb up to the incredible terrace of Cimbrone: two unmissable stops to discover, one enchantment after another.

📍 The Cathedral of Ravello

The Cathedral of Ravello is a must-see for those who want to breathe in the true historical and artistic essence of the Amalfi Coast. Located in the heart of the village, overlooking the lively Piazza del Vescovado, this Romanesque gem, dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta, welcomes you with a simple but elegant façade, enriched by three portals, among which the central one in bronze, created by Barisano da Trani in 1179, stands out, decorated with extraordinary bas-reliefs depicting stories of men, animals and sacred symbols.

Inside, the cathedral surprises visitors with its majesty and refined details. Among the most fascinating elements are the two medieval ambones: the Epistle ambon, with reliefs narrating the story of Jonah, and the Gospel ambon, supported by twisted columns and surmounted by a marble eagle, ready to capture the gaze.
Every corner of the church speaks of a past rich in faith and art, a unique heritage that has spanned centuries.

Descending into the crypt, now transformed into a museum, you can admire artefacts, relics, sarcophagi and sacred artifacts that tell the thousand-year history of Ravello and its community.
The cathedral also houses the chapel of San Pantaleone, patron saint of the village, linked to the evocative tradition of the annual miracle of the liquefaction of blood.

And you are also close to:

📍 the village of Scala

📍 Atrani, which you can also reach via the “Ravello Atrani” promenade: a beautiful scenic walk immersed in the tranquillity of the Amalfi Coast. Ideal for those who want to avoid traffic and discover the authentic beauty of the area, the route takes about an hour, with the option of extending the excursion to Amalfi for an even more complete experience.

About 3 km long, the route winds through ancient stairways, characteristic alleys and stretches of trail, offering breathtaking views of the coast and the sea. The pleasant and easy descent starts from the Church of Santa Maria a Gradillo in Ravello and leads to the heart of Atrani, passing by the charming Church of Santa Maria del Carmine.

✅ The Ravello Festival
The Ravello Festival is much more than just a cultural event: it is an immersive experience that every summer transforms Ravello into a widespread stage where art, music and landscape come together in an extraordinary combination. Founded in 1953 as a tribute to Richard Wagner, the festival has evolved over the years, embracing an increasingly rich and diverse programme ranging from symphonic music to jazz, dance and theatre, not to mention cinema and the visual arts. Each edition revolves around an inspiring theme that links the different artistic expressions, offering the public top-class performances in truly unique locations. The festival's protagonists perform mainly in the historic setting of Villa Rufolo, with its gardens suspended over the sea, and in the futuristic Oscar Niemeyer Auditorium, a modern jewel nestled among the curves of the coastline.
Attending the Ravello Festival means experiencing culture with an open view of the Mediterranean, with melodies that seem to dance with the wind and sunrises that become the stage for unforgettable moments.
One of the most magical events is undoubtedly the Concert at Dawn on 10 August, on the night of San Lorenzo: an evocative event where classical music accompanies the sunrise in the gardens of Villa Rufolo, offering intense emotions and a poetic atmosphere that is impossible to forget.
