The review

Perched in Ravello above the coast, with the most dramatic infinity pool on the Amalfi Coast — quieter and more composed than Positano.

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.

Belmond Hotel Caruso, The Amalfi Coast
What stood out

The details that made the list

01
The most dramatic infinity pool on the coast. Suspended a thousand feet over the sea at the edge of Ravello — my featured page says it plainly, and it's true.
02
Ravello's composure. Gardens, concerts, and evening quiet after the day-trippers leave — the coast without the crush.
03
The 11th-century palazzo. Frescoed vaults and terraced gardens — Belmond heritage restoration at its best.
Know before you book

The Fine Print, From Your Advisor

01
You're above the beach, not on it. The hotel runs boat trips and shuttles down to the coast — the elevation is the amenity, but plan for it.
02
Want the action instead? Le Sirenuse puts you in the center of Positano; Il San Pietro gives you the cliffside icon — my featured page compares all three.
03
Time it to the festival. Ravello's summer music festival turns the village into one of Italy's great evenings — worth building dates around.
04
Transfers and boats, arranged. I arrange the private transfer from Naples, whether you land at the airport, the station or the port, and private boats along the coast and over to Capri. On the Amalfi Coast, the water is the best way to get around.
