Our Vehicles
The transfer from Positano to Ravello is a journey of contrasts. You begin at sea level in the colourful, bustling village of Positano, travel along one of the world's most famous coastal roads, and end up 350 metres above the sea in the serene, refined atmosphere of Ravello. Known as the "City of Music" and famously described by author Gore Vidal as "closer to the sky than the sea," Ravello has been a refuge for artists, writers, and composers for centuries. A private transfer is the most comfortable way to make this remarkable ascent.
From Positano, your driver follows the SS163 coastal road eastward, passing through Praiano and along the dramatic cliff-edge stretches that define the Amalfi Coast. After approximately 30 minutes, you reach the town of Amalfi, where the road turns inland and begins its steep climb up the Valle del Dragone. The narrow mountain road ascends through a series of tight switchback turns, each one revealing more of the coastline below. In about 15 minutes, you arrive at the entrance to Ravello, where the views are simply breathtaking.
Villa Rufolo is one of Ravello's most celebrated landmarks and is located right in the main piazza, just steps from where your driver drops you off. Built in the 13th century by the wealthy Rufolo family, the villa features a mix of Norman and Moorish architecture, a medieval tower, and terraced gardens that seem to float above the coast. The gardens are famous for inspiring the German composer Richard Wagner, who visited in 1880 and declared he had found the garden of Klingsor from his opera Parsifal. Today, the villa hosts the prestigious Ravello Festival concerts during summer, with the stage set against the backdrop of the infinite sea below.
What makes Ravello truly special is its extraordinary position. From various terraces and viewpoints throughout the village, you can see the entire sweep of the Amalfi Coast stretching from Maiori to Positano, with the deep blue Mediterranean spreading to the horizon. Villa Cimbrone, located at the far end of the village, offers what many consider the single most spectacular viewpoint on the entire coast — the Terrazza dell'Infinito (Terrace of Infinity). A private transfer gives you the freedom to spend as much time as you wish in Ravello, taking in these extraordinary views at your own pace.
