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.

Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!
