Small orange Sita buses run up to Ravello from Amalfi roughly hourly from Piazza Flavio Gioia. It's not really worth staying - accommodation is much cheaper in Amalfi - but if you can't tear yourself away the
tourist office
on Piazza Vescovado (Mon-Sat: May-Sept 8am-8pm; Oct-April 8am-7pm; tel 089.857.096,
www.crmpa.it/EPT/ravello
) has information on
rooms
. If you have money to burn, the
Palumbo
, Via San Giovanni del Toro 16 (tel 089.857.244, fax 089.818.133,
palumbo@amalfinet.it
; over L400,000/€206.58), is definitely the place to do it - one of Italy's best opportunities to experience real, old-world luxury in a magnificent location. If this seems too much, the
Parsifal
, back down the road, (tel 089.857.144, fax 089.857.972; L150,000-200,000/€77.47-103.29), easily competes on great views for quite a lot less.
Even if you don't stay, there are some marvellous places
to eat
, all doing their best to exploit the location, one of the best of which is the
Garden
through the tunnel off the main piazza on Via Chiunzi (no closing day), which has a wonderfully panoramic terrace. The
Cumpa Cosimo
restaurant at Via Roma 48 (no closing day) is good too, with decent local food and wine at moderate prices, while
La Colonna
at Via Roma 22 (no closing day) has an attractive courtyard and dishes up home-made pasta and fresh fish. Other useful information
