Belmond Hotel Caruso

Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, Amalfi Coast occupies an eleventh-century palace in Ravello, Italy, high above the sea. Gardens, terraces, and an infinity pool give you places to enjoy the coastline without leaving the hotel. This is a Ravello stay, not a room beside the beach or in the center of Positano. The height is part of the decision: the sea fills the outlook, while reaching the shore takes a separate journey.

The hotel has 50 rooms and suites, now divided into 17 rooms and 33 suites. Each is different, with historic details and layouts shaped by the palace. Shared terraces and gardens give the stay room to spread beyond the bedroom.

Caruso's double rooms reflect classical Neapolitan styling, with designs that vary from room to room. Some look toward the sea, others toward the gardens or village. Outdoor space is not restricted to the largest suites, so a balcony or terrace can be part of a stay without choosing the top category. The differences are worth understanding before assigning too much meaning to a broad label such as deluxe.

The Garden View with Terrace category measures 35 to 45 square meters, with king or twin beds and a private balcony or terrace. Its outlook is toward the village or gardens. A Deluxe Sea View Room with Balcony increases the range to 40 to 50 square meters and brings the Amalfi Coast into view, again with a balcony or terrace. The floor areas overlap, but the outlooks differ: more space and a sea view are separate considerations.

Divina Suite extends to 90 to 95 square meters, with broad sea views, a furnished terrace, and a private garden. That outdoor combination gives a longer stay room for time in the open air away from the shared pool. For families or friends who need separate bedrooms, the hotel also describes connecting suite arrangements. A confirmed connection is more useful than assuming that two separately booked suites will sit together within the palace.

Villa Margherita offers a different arrangement about five minutes' walk from Caruso. It has two Signature Suites: Pantaleone on the ground floor and Emilia on the upper floor. The distinction is physical as well as stylistic, since a villa stay means moving between this separate address and the main hotel's grounds. It is worth considering when you want a house setting rather than a room inside the palace.

The villa has a dedicated chef and private butler, while guests can use Caruso's restaurants and La Piscina pool area. Dinner can take place at the villa or become an evening at the hotel. Frescoed ceilings, paintings, and handmade ceramics give the villa interiors a character of their own. Guests who need a step-free route should discuss the walk and floor arrangement before choosing a suite.

The infinity pool is Caruso's signature setting, with the coastline below and the Lattari Mountains beyond the surrounding gardens. La Piscina Pool Club gives the water's edge a social role, with loungers, cabanas, and terraces for spending part of the day outside. Its program includes yoga, cabana massages, and evening music, with a schedule that varies through the season. The pool is heated, and children are welcome with adult supervision while the hotel is open.

For a family, a pool day avoids a drive down to the shore each time someone wants to swim. Other guests may simply want an afternoon with no plans beyond the water and a lounger. The weekly program also includes a garden tour, a chance to explore the planting with a guide rather than only passing through on the way to your room.

Ristorante Il Pantaleone is the main evening restaurant, where chef Armando Aristarco draws on the cooking of Campania. His approach, called Antiqua Cucina Nova, puts regional traditions alongside modern technique and seasonal local ingredients. The terrace looks across the coast, keeping Ravello's setting part of the meal. The menu also makes space for vegan dining, alongside dishes built around fish and produce from the land.

Caruso Grill is the less formal pool-area option, with lunch and dinner service during the season. Campanian dishes and wood-fired cooking keep the food connected to the region without requiring the same pace as Il Pantaleone. It suits a lunch after swimming or a meal when you would prefer to remain near the pool. The two restaurants give hotel dining different roles across several nights, rather than simply offering different views of the same meal.

Adagio, A Caruso Bar brings the evening indoors among eighteenth-century frescoes. Cocktails take their cues from Amalfi Coast citrus and botanicals, giving the bar a link to the landscape outside. An aperitif or a drink after dinner lets you spend time in the frescoed room without making it another formal dining occasion.

Caruso Spa has two single treatment rooms and a couples' room, with some treatments also available outdoors in the gardens. That makes the setting part of a treatment without implying a large thermal-spa complex. The open-air gym has cardio and weight equipment, and personal training can be arranged. A workout or appointment fits alongside pool time, leaving the rest of the day free for Ravello or the coast.

The hotel also runs pasta-making classes and guided walks, while boat trips let you see the coast from the water. Belmond describes outings aboard a wooden boat as well as private motorboat trips toward places such as Positano and Capri. Routes and sailing times depend on the weather and the trip you arrange. Seeing the coast this way gives the cliffs and towns a different scale from the view high above them in Ravello.

The hotel shuttle runs on a schedule to Amalfi, not directly to Positano. A day in another town may mean a further connection or a private transfer. Naples Airport is about 65 kilometers away, with a drive of 75 to 90 minutes in the hotel's estimate, depending on traffic. Guests arriving at Naples Central Station also reach Ravello by road. The hotel address is Piazza San Giovanni del Toro 2.

Caruso operates seasonally, so a heated pool should not be taken as a sign of year-round accommodation. Allow time for the hotel itself when planning a visit to the coast: a swim, a walk through the gardens and dinner on the terrace can fill a day without leaving Ravello.

Why we love this hotel

Why we love this hotel

From Caruso’s clifftop infinity pool, the water seems to meet the sea beyond Ravello, with the Dragon Valley falling away below.

Il Pantaleone offers separate seafood, meat and vegan menus, giving different food preferences a proper choice for an evening at the hotel.

Adagio Bar serves coastal citrus cocktails beneath eighteenth-century frescoes, giving you somewhere indoors to enjoy a drink surrounded by the palace's history.
