Ravello on a Sunday afternoon

I mentioned on Sunday that I was in Ravello, wandering around and eating a very good meal on a spectacular terrace overlooking the sea, the vineyards and the lemon groves.  The restaurant is part of the Hotel Villa Amore.  The photos of the place and the food may tempt you to go there.

Again from the Villa Amore terrace.  By the way, the hotel is not at all expensive.

On the following page are some pix of Ravello and its immediate surroundings.

By the way, thanks to Luigi Reale -- whose wines and osteria I'll write about more extensively soon --
we received a tour of the magnificent Hotel Caruso in Ravello.  I definitely had the feeling that I should be emptying waste baskets and sweeping marble steps.  Click here for a view of the infinity pool.  And please do feel unworthy.
