Villa Rufolo - Ravello - Amalfi Coast
Villa Rufolo is one of the points required for those who take the “grand tour” to explore the culture and natural beauty of Italy.
It is a collection of buildings surrounded by a garden planted with pines, cypress trees and exotic plants.
The buildings and garden stand on u natural terrace overlooking the Gulf of Salerno: the pan position is one of the major attractions of the villa.
The style is tasteful Arab-siculo, as in all constructions of the thirteenth century in the Duchy of Amalfi. The villa was built by rich family Rufolo in the twelfth century.
Appointed several times in various literary, remembers Boccaccio, who visited Ravello and recalls Landolfo Rufolo in one of the novels of Decamerone.
To access the villa comes from Torre, whose hall is decorated with elegant arches braided.
After a driveway you come to the three floors of the villa.
The most striking is the courtyard, with two lodges in Arab-style siculo decorated with polychrome fouling.
The rooms in which you are: the exhibition, divided into two aisles and used as a greenhouse, the waiting room, bathroom, the chapel and the Tower Major.
