Photo Friday: Wisteria in Ravello

Wisteria Villa Rufolo Ravello

Last weekend I was walking in Ravello and passed through a walkway that leads in one place between and under part of the beautiful gardens of the Villa Rufolo. I could smell the sweet scent of wisteria as I climbed a steep staircase, and as I reached the top was welcomed by this beautiful trellis of blooming wisteria. It wasn’t quite at peak, but it was close enough to fill the surrounding area with sweetness. It was an ideal spot to stop and catch my breath after the long climb!

Happy weekend to everyone!

      Thanks, Sharon! From Naples you could take the Autostrada to the Angri exit and then follow the signs to the Chiunzi Pass and the Amalfi Coast. The pass will take you up over the mountains and there are signs to Ravello. It’s a pretty easy drive compared to your last adventures to Positano! 🙂

      Thanks, Linda! I fell in love with wisteria in Washington, DC, and was so happy to see it grows everywhere here in the spring. It blooms pretty much before everything else here, so it always makes it feel like spring has arrived!

    Ciao, Laura. I received your name from Eleonora on her food tour we took last week. We are now in Atrani and I am curious if you have any restaurant recommendations for Atrani or Amalfi? Thanks!

    PS: I think we walked by this exact same spot in Positano today and had to snap a picture. Thanks for the inspiration!

      Ciao Jake! Thank you so much for stopping by. Eleonora is lovely, and I’m so happy you could take her Rome food tour. I’m envious! 🙂 Just emailed you with some restaurant recommendations for Atrani and Amalfi.

This morning I said my goodbyes to Bruno Catalano’s “Travelers” on my morning walk. Tomorrow I’m off to be a traveler myself and they’ll likely be gone by the time I’m back. They’ve been good company, but it’s time for them to move on to their next destination. 🧳

I’m back! After some time in the USA with family I’m back! After some time in the USA with family, I’m back home in Amalfi and adjusting to the time with my usual early morning walks. What’s not usual is that there are so many people out and about now compared to when I left in July. At 7:30am this morning there were already people set up at the beach to get those first sun rays that you can see just hitting the beach. Very clever! The water is so clear and pretty in the morning. I enjoy watching the changes that come throughout the season. This morning there were two guys tossing a football on the beach. That was unexpected! 🏈
