lots of snaps here from the Villa Cimbrione in Ravello. The Hotel Cimbrione (in the old villa) has a garden tea (See shot above). The view down to the ocean (below) gives you an idea of how high we are. Very luxurious!

these shots are all from the magnificent gardens at the Villa Cimbrione in Ravello. Keep in mind your about 1200 feet above sea level here!
