During the day, pass through the arches down to the square of Ravello and visit Rufolo Gardens for a stroll around its two levels. The grounds are kept in pristine condition, and include stunning views of the beautiful coastline and examples of Moorish architecture. Known as the "Garden of the Soul," this historic place that dates back to the 13th century never ceases to amaze.

When we first went to Ravello over ten years ago, Mama Netta was serving dinner. And each time we've returned, Mama still serves up her fresh pasta and homemade sauces at her charmingly rustic restaurant, also known as Trattoria Pizzeria Cumpa' Cosimo. While I wouldn't necessarily go there for the "local wine," the old-world Italian charm welcomes you from the moment you set foot through her doors, as everyone feels like family. The dishes of delicious pasta are constantly flowing. You might feel as if you don't place your order quickly enough; they'll decide your order for you. But don't worry – you're guaranteed to love it. Be prepared to leave full yet still yearning for more. On that note, don't forget to order the tiramisu for dessert. 

Sneak away to nearby Positano and make a reservation for lunch at Hotel San Pietro where I suggest you order the sardines, spaghetti limone, and an Aperol spritz. While the food is unbelievably delicious, it's also a feast for your senses, with panoramic terraces overlooking Positano and the coast. Reserve extra time to tour the grounds and admire the faded orange lounge chairs.
