Perched like a jewel between the azure sea and the lush green terraces of lemon groves, Raito is a picturesque hamlet of Vietri sul Mare that beckons travelers with its tranquility and cultural heritage. At the entrance to the road leading to Raito, a ceramic panel reads, "Raito, salus infirmorum" ("Raito, health for the sick"), hinting at the village's serene and restorative atmosphere.

One of Raito's key landmarks is the Villa Guariglia, a grand estate donated by the Italian Ambassador Raffaele Guariglia to the Province of Salerno. Today, the villa is home to the Museum of Ceramics, showcasing the rich artistry and traditions of Vietri sul Mare's world-famous ceramic craftsmanship.

Another must-see is the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, a 15th-century gem that embodies the village's historic and spiritual charm. Its picturesque setting and timeless architecture make it a tranquil spot for reflection and admiration.

Whether you are drawn by its breathtaking views, cultural treasures, or peaceful ambiance, Raito is a destination that embodies the essence of the Amalfi Coast.
