Villa Cimbrone--romantic Amalfi Coast, Part I
The Amalfi coast in Italy is justifiably famous for its breathtaking beauty, the sheer cliffs overlooking the cobalt Tyrrhenian Sea, the scent of lemon groves and bougainvilleas, hand-painted ceramic potteries that reflect the landscape, and romantic hotels sandwiched between sea and sky.
One such hotel is the ancient and renowned Villa Cimbrone. Set high in the hills above the Amalfi coast in the historical village of picturesque Ravello, Villa Cimbrone is truly a gem. Its storied past, dating back a thousand years, tells of noblemen, royalty, and wealthy families who have contributed to its development over the centuries and ultimately, have overseen the transformation from private villa to luxury hotel.
Its lush public gardens and terraces over the sea, the villa’s luxurious rooms with ancient stone fireplaces, and refined service all speak to a memorable guest experience, whether romantic getaway, honeymoon, or event reception. As you wander the stone paths of its public gardens of priceless trees, shrubs, and flowers, you are invariably drawn to the Belvedere Terrace, which translates to “beautiful view”, a gross understatement. From this statued-terrace, your views of the Amalfi coastline and sea seem infinite: terraced hillsides, terra cotta rooftops dotting the cliffs, the blue of the ocean, and the emerald mountains surrounding you is as close to Heaven on earth as you can imagine.
It was just such views, gardens, and arched grottoes and crypts, combined with the graciousness of the staff, that convinced my own daughter to book Villa Cimbrone for her wedding reception after a planned wedding in the Ravello Duomo. [Read part two to find more about this villa as a destination wedding venue or romantic getaway.]

Thanks for your share. The CBS News/National Journal debate Saturday night was the first to focus on foreign policy girls high heel, and it generated fewer fireworks - but more substance - than many of its predecessors girls pumps. For that reason we aren't going to simply list winners and losers this time around and instead discuss the candidates' performances - though we're still putting those we thought did best at the top girls boots girls on sale.
