Villa Cimbrone Terrace of Infinity

How to Complete

4 steps curated by Wine Memories

1. ⛰️ 1

   Walk the Gardens First

   adventure $

   Centuries-old strawberry trees and sea-pines frame the approach.

   Pay €7-10 at the gate (Via Santa Chiara 26, 10 min walk from Ravello piazza). Don't rush to the terrace. Walk the gardens slowly - the centuries-old strawberry trees (corbezzolo), the Temple of Bacchus, the bronze statues. This is the approach. The terrace is the crescendo.

   Reach the Terrace of Infinity

   adventure Free

   The row of marble busts overlooking the entire Amalfi Coast.

   At the far end of the gardens, you'll see them - the marble busts on the terrace edge, floating above 300 meters of nothing. Walk to the edge. Look down. Look out. The entire Amalfi Coast stretches before you. Gore Vidal stood here for 30 years. This is why.

   Order Rosé at Il Balcone di Lucille

   wine $$

   The most panoramic bar on the entire Amalfi Coast.

   From the Terrace of Infinity, descend the steps to Il Balcone di Lucille bar. This is "the most panoramic bar on the entire coast." Order rosé from their cellar - a sommelier can guide you. The Costa d'Amalfi Rosato is local. Sit under the strawberry trees with the view you just walked through imprinted in your mind. This is the trip's climax.

   Watch Golden Hour from the Bar

   Optional

   adventure Free

   The light changes. The wine deepens. The trip reaches its peak.

   Stay for golden hour. The light on the Amalfi Coast at sunset is why painters came here. The bar stays open until the gardens close (sunset). Your second glass of rosé. The sound of nothing but the wind. You've walked the Path of the Gods, descended into 80-meter cellars, drunk wine from Vesuvius. This is where it all comes together.
