Private Transfer from Ravello | Book Online

Why Private Transfer to Ravello?

The winding mountain roads leading up to Ravello aren't ideal for navigating alone if you've just landed. Public buses from the coast require changes and patience—sometimes up to 2.5 hours total. A private transfer gets you straight there: your driver knows the tight hairpin turns of the SS373 and avoids the narrow village streets where rental cars often struggle to fit.

You'll arrive with your luggage intact and nerves intact, ready to settle into your accommodation rather than stressed from navigating unfamiliar routes. For groups, private transfer costs less per person than multiple taxi rides, and you skip the language barrier entirely.

Nearest Airports

• Naples Capodichino (NAP) — 70km west, approximately 90 minutes by car via the A3 motorway and SS373. The larger airport with more flight options, though a longer journey.
• Salerno Costa d'Amalfi (QSR) — 50km south, approximately 60–75 minutes by car. Closer and increasingly popular for European flights, making it the faster option for many travellers.

Both routes involve mountain driving on the SS373, which is well-maintained but requires confidence on steep gradients. Your UboTransfer driver handles this daily.

What to See in Ravello

Villa d'Este — Built in 1568, this Renaissance villa features manicured gardens cascading down the cliffside with terraced fountains and panoramic viewpoints. Entry costs around €7.50 and the gardens alone justify the visit—you'll find lemon trees, wisteria, and benches positioned at each vista point.

Villa Rufolo — Dating to the 13th century, Rufolo's Arab-Norman architecture and dramatic terrace overlooking the Gulf of Salerno host the renowned Ravello Festival each summer. The tower offers 360-degree views; admission is €6. Wagner premiered parts of Parsifal here.

Duomo di Ravello — This 11th-century cathedral sits in the main piazza and contains bronze doors cast in 1179, one of Italy's oldest. The interior is modest but historically significant; entry is free.

Path of the Gods (Sentiero degli Dei) — A 7.4km hiking trail connecting Praiano and Positano via Ravello's outskirts, offering unobstructed Mediterranean views. The walk takes 2.5–3 hours and requires decent fitness, but no technical skill. Start early to avoid afternoon crowds.

Practical Tips

Best time to visit: May, September, and October offer warm weather without July-August heat and crowds. Spring wildflowers are particularly good; autumn has calmer seas for coastal swimming below the cliffs.

Parking: Ravello's centre is pedestrian-only. Park in one of the paid lots (€1.50–2 per hour) near the entrance—the main lot near the bus station is most convenient. Your UboTransfer driver will drop you at your hotel's entrance before parking, saving you the walk uphill with luggage.

Road conditions: The SS373 is narrow and winding but well-paved. Winter occasionally brings snow above 500 metres; roads remain passable but chains may be required in severe weather. Summer traffic slows coastal approaches.

What to bring: Comfortable walking shoes are essential—Ravello's streets are steep and cobblestone. Sunscreen is vital if visiting the villas' exposed terraces. Book villa tickets online to skip queues during peak season.
