Ravello Perched Above The Coast — My Composed Amalfi Pick · Infinity Pool — The Coast's Most Dramatic
Quieter and more composed than Positano, with the coast's most dramatic pool — the Amalfi stay for travelers who want the view without the crowds.
Three Amalfi Coast hotels made my featured Italy page, and the Caruso is the one I describe as quieter and more composed than Positano — perched in Ravello above the coast, with the most dramatic infinity pool on the Amalfi Coast.
Ravello is the coast's balcony: a village of gardens and music festivals a thousand feet above the sea, where the crowds thin and the views widen. The Caruso occupies an 11th-century palazzo at the town's edge, and its infinity pool hangs over the entire coastline — the image that sells the trip on its own.
As a Belmond preferred partner, I book the Caruso for couples who want the Amalfi Coast's drama at a composed distance — with Positano and Amalfi as day trips by the hotel's own boat, rather than as your doorstep.

Work with me and you get two things: Fora perks, and someone who knows the Caruso personally. As a Fora advisor, my clients receive a space-available upgrade, daily breakfast, and a hotel credit. I know the property and the team, so I personalize your stay, from the room I request to what’s arranged before you arrive, and I’m your direct line to them while you’re there. Rates are identical to booking direct.
The Caruso earned its place on my list. Let me match you to the right room, time it to the right season, and build the rest of the trip around it.
