The path runs at roughly 600 meters elevation, with the Tyrrhenian Sea spreading flat and blue far below.

Villa Rufolo sits on a cliff edge in Ravello, 350 metres above the Amalfi Coast. Its Moorish-Norman towers and terraced gardens date to the 13th century. The colors here are precise: terracotta stone, deep green cypress, and the flat blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea below.

Villa Cimbrone sits on a cliff edge above the Amalfi Coast, overlooking a stretch of sea that shifts from deep blue to silver depending on the hour. The gardens are formal and layered, with stone paths leading through rose beds, ancient statues, and shaded pergolas draped in wisteria. At the far end stands the Terrazza dell'Infinito, a stone balustrade lined with marble busts, where the land simply ends and the Mediterranean begins.
