5 Star Super Luxury Hotel

Location: Amalfi in Italy
You will be forgiven for thinking that Belmond Hotel Caruso is suspended in a heavenly realm, somewhere between the sea and the sky. Perched on the edge of the cliff, some 350m above sea level over staggered groves of lemons and olive vines, it is your private balcony over the Mediterranean. Sitting on a limestone throne at the tranquil pinnacle of Ravello, Belmond Hotel Caruso looks out over the Tyrrhenian Sea. The hotel was originally built in the 11th century by a wealthy family who were shipwrecked on their trip to Constantinople. It was once called Palazzo d'Afflitto, the Palace of the Afflicted. Today, the name couldn't be further from the truth.
Belmond Hotel Caruso has all the worldly luxuries anyone could wish for. Vibrant frescoed halls play alongside stone vaults adorned with arches and chandeliers. Marble hallways lead to rooms replete with antiques and old master paintings. Inside, our 50 rooms have been lovingly restored to their former Neapolitan glory. Stroll through the rose gazebo to our infinity pool. It is an architectural triumph that apparently extends directly into the ocean.
Revitalize yourself with one of our personal trainers; the panoramic ocean view from our gym adds a pleasant distraction. Shopaholics, meanwhile, will enjoy our in-house boutique. All products have been hand selected or designed exclusively for the hotel. From Belmond Hotel Caruso, Ravello is yours to explore. Spend an afternoon strolling through the lush lemon terraces. Maybe you will find a bird's eye view over the Amalfi Coast by helicopter. Take our traditional wooden boat, Ercole, to Positano, or drive to Roman Pompeii. Whatever your heart desires, our concierge will arrange it.
As night falls, Chef Mimmo di Raffaele injects a modern twist on traditional Italian dishes at the Belvedere restaurant. Each creation uses world-class local products. What better way to end the night than in our atmospheric Cocktail and Piano Bar? With innovative cocktails, wines, champagne and local prosecco, it is the preferred nightlife destination of the Amalfi Coast. It is a testament to the Belmond Hotel Caruso that when guests come to leave they have a tear in their eyes. The only affliction here is having to leave our piece of paradise.
