Villa Rufolo Gardens in Ravello

Villa Rufolo garden is located in a central position in Ravello village. It stands on two levels. You can reach them following a tree-lined avenue with a distinctly Victorian air.
Ancient walls, almost hidden by cypresses and lime trees, lead to the Moorish cloister. You can savour noble lines of the monument architecture before descending few steps down to the first level of the garden.
Redolent atmosphere infuses you with the spirit of the Romantic garden, with echoes of Boccaccio’s stirring poetry.

Villa Rufolo garden is dated back to 13th century. However the first project was developed during a medieval time. Only a few traces remain of the original shape. They recall the garden Boccaccio described on the first day of his famous work Decamerone, During Romantic age, Francis Nevile Reid, a Scottish philanthropist and expert on botany and ancient art, chose Villa Rufolo as his summer residence. He began to stock the garden with various species of exotic plants.
In May 1880 Wagner visited Ravello and “discovered” the enchanted garden of Klingsor. As he had imagined it for his opera Parsifal, villa Rufolo entered in history. This makes it a very special setting for a very intimate wedding in Ravello on Amalfi Coast.
