Villa Cimbrone

Pick any four 4-inch tiles — National Parks you've been to, a Smokies set, the four seasons of one place. $ for a set of , cork-backed, ready to live on the table.

Each tile ships in a kraft box, tied with cream ribbon, with a handwritten note from the studio if you'd like to add one.

Three or five different vistas, hung together — a chapter of places you've been, or want to go.

Villa Cimbrone sits at the southern edge of Ravello, a hill town on the Amalfi Coast in the Province of Salerno, Campania. It stands on a ridge about 365 metres above the Tyrrhenian Sea, a ten-minute walk from Piazza Duomo in central Ravello.

The Terrace of Infinity is the open balustrade at the seaward edge of the Villa Cimbrone gardens. A line of weathered marble busts faces a sheer drop to the Tyrrhenian Sea, the parapet stopping where the cliff stops. It is widely considered the signature view of the Amalfi Coast.

The estate is documented from at least the 11th century. In 1904 the British peer Ernest William Beckett, 2nd Baron Grimthorpe, bought the ruin and spent thirteen years restoring it with the Ravello-born builder Nicola Mansi. The gardens were opened to the public during that period.

Yes. The gardens are open to non-guests of the hotel for an entry fee, with longer hours in summer and shorter hours in winter. Entry is through the gatehouse at the end of Via Santa Chiara, a few minutes' walk from Piazza Duomo. The villa itself is a hotel and not open to the public.

D.H. Lawrence worked on a novel at the villa in 1926. The actress Greta Garbo and the conductor Leopold Stokowski stayed in 1938 to escape press attention. Later guests included Virginia Woolf, E.M. Forster, Winston Churchill, and John F. Kennedy.

Ravello is reached from the Amalfi coast road by a switchback ascent of about six kilometres from the town of Amalfi. SITA buses run between Amalfi and Ravello roughly hourly. The closest major airport is Naples, about two hours away by road in normal traffic.

April through June and September through October offer warm light and lighter coach traffic. July and August are hot and crowded. The gardens stay open daily, with shorter hours in winter.

It has been a meaningful gift for many of our customers with ties to Ravello and the coast. The Terrace of Infinity is one of the most photographed views in Italy; a Small or Medium framed in walnut carries it back into daily life. A handwritten note from the studio comes with each order.

The piece reads as Coastal-modern with European weight, at home with washed plaster walls, warm woods, and linen. It also sits well in a Mediterranean-modern room of terracotta, travertine, and deep blue, or as the single bright object on a darker library wall.

Yes. The marine blue and weathered-stone palette folds directly into the Mediterranean-modern look that has carried through the last several seasons. The piece also reads as quietly old, which gives a newer build a sense of provenance. A Medium above a console table is the usual placement.

Above a standard three-seat sofa, the Large reads correctly without crowding. Above a console, a single Medium or a four-tile Mural in a two-by-two grid centres well. For a wide entryway wall, the nine-tile Mural gives the Terrace of Infinity room to open up.

Yes. For wet rooms or splash zones, choose the Dura Satin or Matte finish; both are scratch-resistant and tolerate steam and direct water. The Glossy finish is intended for framed wall pieces in dry rooms. A Coaster Set is a quiet way to test the colour against your existing palette.

Microfibre cloth and water. The colour lives in the ceramic surface beneath a thin clear finish, so it will not lift or fade with cleaning. Avoid bleach-based cleaners and abrasive pads on the Glossy finish. Re-sealing is never required.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is original to the studio; there is no licensing or stock-image use. Reid Wender curates and finishes each piece personally, and the work is made in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
