Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, Amalfi Coast
About
Belmond Hotel Caruso is perched on the cliffside of Ravello, overlooking the turquoise Mediterranean and the famed Amalfi Coast. The 10th‑century palace‑turned‑luxury hotel blends historic architecture with modern opulence: marble halls, elegant 13th‑century lion statues, and abundant terraced gardens offer both privacy and panoramic vistas. Guests enjoy a gourmet restaurant with sea views, a relaxing spa, and an outdoor terrace that is the perfect spot for sunset cocktails. Architecturally, the site preserves frescoes and vaulted ceilings while incorporating 20th‑century restorations that respect its medieval heritage. The hotel’s storied past is enriched by visits from celebrities such as Virginia Woolf, Greta Garbo, Humphrey Bogart and Jackie Kennedy. Visitors can wander through the terraced gardens, step into the historic hall adorned with frescoes, or simply relax on the pool overlooking the sea. Whether the intent is a romantic getaway, a family escape or a cultural immersion, the Caruso’s blend of luxury, heritage and breathtaking views commits to a memorable Amalfi Coast experience.
