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.
Fresh Mediterranean decor and a comfortable sitting area give the room its character. It is in the main building, where the outdoor space extends the setting beyond the bedroom. The layout includes a Nespresso machine and a stocked minibar for refreshments within the room.
An extra-large marble bathroom provides a bath and a separate walk-in rain shower. Double basins, heated towels and a bidet are fitted, with Acqua di Parma toiletries supplied. Some rooms can connect to another room in this category or to a Premium Junior Suite. The hotel lists these rooms as wheelchair accessible.

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.
The infinity pool has loungers and cabanas close by, making it easy to alternate swimming with a long afternoon beside the water.
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.

Caruso is best for travelers who want a serene Amalfi Coast stay above the sea. Expect Ravello charm, Belmond service, cliffside views, a famous infinity pool, gardens, refined dining, and a slower pace than Positano or Amalfi town.
Caruso is in Ravello at Piazza San Giovanni del Toro 2, high above the Amalfi Coast. The location is peaceful and scenic, with easy access to Ravello's gardens, music venues, churches, and sea-view terraces.
Caruso has 50 rooms and suites. The small scale suits travelers who want privacy, quiet service, and a more personal Amalfi Coast hotel experience.
The hotel is set in a former 11th-century palace on the cliffs of Ravello. Guests book it for the sea views, historic architecture, terraced gardens, infinity pool, and the calm feeling of being above the coast.
Yes, if you prefer views, space, and calm over being in the middle of a busy beach town. Ravello is higher and quieter, while Amalfi, Positano, Minori, and boat trips remain reachable with planning.
