Out & About: Doorway to Paradise

Ravello is a small and relatively level city, which means you can walk most of it without having to go up or down a ridiculous amount of steps. But there are a few parts of the city that are worth the hike up or down the steps or the steep, curving road. The city is full of beautiful surprises! One day while out exploring, I happened across what surely is the most evocative door I have ever seen. This is the entrance to the Hotel Parsifal, which leads to a terrace with one of Ravello’s justly famous views of the Amalfi Coast. A door like this just begs you to go in!

    Two years ago I came down to the Amalfi Coast for just a few hours (we use to spend time in Terracina). I remember we had dinner in Ravello, out on a terrace while light faded. I wil never forget the night.

Today is an unspeakably sad day for the Amalfi Coa Today is an unspeakably sad day for the Amalfi Coast after the tragic bus accident this morning in Ravello where Nicola Fusco, a young bus driver only 29 years old, lost his life. Investigations are currently underway to determine the cause and I won’t share the upsetting details. The road to Ravello is currently closed and it’s not clear when it will reopen. Nicola was a kind, talented, and experienced driver—the third generation of drivers in his family—a family very close to ours. My husband has been a guide with all three generations and watched Nicola grow up. This is something that shouldn’t happen, shouldn’t ever happen, but it’s something we all fear here. Our hearts are with the Fusco family and to everyone who Nicola’s life touched. 🖤

To say this is a big deal for the fans doesn’t even begin to describe it. I’ve been watching videos from Amalfi, Sorrento, Ischia and all around Campania. Here was a quiet moment in Atrani before the celebrations began. ⚽️
