Situated above the Amalfi coast in a peaceful setting with a swimming pool, among palm trees and lush lawns, Villa Suri is a serene escape from our busy lives, yet it is only a comfortable ten minute walk to the main piazza of Ravello and the Villa Rufolo's vast terrace that seems to hang right over the sea far below. It is here that renowned concerts of the Musical Festival are held. Ravello is a genteel town, sophisticated and home to many artists and writers throughout the centuries. It also holds a lively street market every Tuesday morning where you can buy mozzarella cheese that was made the night before, superb local wines – you have to try Ravello's own white wine, Episcopio – and their own pressed olive oils, as well as bargains on fashionable clothing from as far away as Milan. Walk past the main piazza and you will find many restaurants where the locals are sitting at the tables next to you. Spend a morning at the cooking class at the famous Mamma Agata's cooking school, attend a classical outdoor concert set in one of the many beautiful Ravello gardens, catch a sunset on Villa Cimbrone's Terrace of Infinity or attend one of the many summer festivals. Take the via Roma from Ravello to Minori, a magical walk between cottages and archways, through terraced fields of vineyards and olive groves with a breathtaking backdrop of the blue green sea. After touring the quaint village of Minori and visiting the church of Santa Trofimena and the first century Roman villa in the canter of town, catch the hourly bus that either takes you north to Amalfi and Positano or return back to Ravello for a relaxing nap under a palm tree and a dip in your private pool.

Villa Suri is a comfortable home, furnished with antique furniture, old paintings, original artworks and high-quality furnishings. The floors are brightly colored majolica tiles, handmade by local artists and typical of this area. It is easily accessible from the road, with few steps.
