Villa Cimbrone

When we first approached this villa I thought I was in a Harry Potter movie set - remarkable entrance. Villa Cimbrone is a historic building in Ravello, on the Amalfi coast of southern Italy. Dating from at least the 11th century AD,the villa and gardens are unforgettable.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

This is so inviting- I've not seen Harry Potter except for a few clips, but this could be the door into any number of fairy tales. It made me think of Beatrix Potter too. Great shot!
