Villa Cimbrone - Ravello

Villa Cimbrone
verdant jewel in the crown 
well done Lord Grimthorpe*


* i have tried repeatedly to link to Lord Grimthorpe but it keeps going to a rather indifferent footballer who did NOT have anything to do with the Villa Cimbrone!

let's try it this way

nope - still not working.

Built on a promontory with stunning views of the Mediterranean and the dramatic coastline below.

Its origins date back to the 11th century, but the villa and the gardens were extensively renovated by a British nobleman, Lord Grimthorpe, in the early 20th century.
With its expansive gardens and dramatic views, the villa is a popular place for weddings, honeymoons, and receptions. The villa is a private 5-star hotel (Hotel Villa Cimbrone), but the gardens are open to the public and it ranks, perhaps, as the most memorable sight on the Amalfi Coast.
