Towns & views

Scala and Ravello

Choose the hamlets, churches and gardens you want to visit around Scala and Ravello. Some routes are on foot, so we’ll agree accessible car meeting points and the return.

Begin with a particular part of Scala

The centre with San Lorenzo, Minuta’s square and Annunziata church, or the small nucleus of Pontone offer different introductions. Choose one rather than treating the whole territory as a single stop. The relationship between the slopes and Ravello becomes part of the visit.

Sant’Eustachio, when the walk matters too

The ruins combine architecture and landscape for visitors who want a walking element. The approach from Minuta involves a pedestrian section; check access before including it. Give the approach time of its own, separate from the car journeys.

Ravello as a second perspective

After Scala, explore the square and Villa Rufolo, or prioritise Villa Cimbrone. Both villas plus a longer Scala walk make a more demanding day. A clear priority lets you give each place worthwhile attention.

Descending to the sea is another choice

Torre dello Ziro and routes towards Amalfi need a prepared walking programme. Stay with hamlets and villas for this day, or request a variation ending on foot. Collection must fit the chosen route, weather and path conditions.

Price, transport and inclusions

Allow for walking and access arrangements. A ruin or trail on the itinerary does not imply a vehicle stop at its entrance.

Before you choose

Does the day automatically involve hiking?

No. Walking follows the places you choose; ask for a day focused on squares and villas if preferred.

Can the car reach the ruins?

Sant’Eustachio involves a final walk, separate from the vehicle approach.

Can we finish in Amalfi?

Request that variation, defining the walking route or road journey and final meeting point.
