Belmond Hotel Caruso

The Hotel Caruso is pure magic — perched above Ravello with dreamlike views and timeless elegance. Our room was beautiful and serene, and breakfasts were truly exceptional. But what makes this place unforgettable is the staff: warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. A rare blend of luxury and heart. Can’t wait to return!

If you are booking a stay or planning to visit the Caruso, I’d imagine your expectations are already starting at a pretty high level. Believe me when I say, the hospitality and dedication to your enjoyment while at the Caruso will undoubtable far exceed whatever it is you may be imagining awaits. The Vistas: Photos do not do justice to physically being there. The view from just about every corner of the property (especially at the pool) is so inconceivably breathtaking that if they chose to provide the bare minimum of services, you wouldn’t blame them nor mind because it is just that awe inspiring. The Service: However, “rest on their laurels” they do not. From the moment we arrived, every single individual we encountered treated us as if we had been traveling with them for years. Attentive and accommodating, never overbearing. I genuinely thought for a moment that perhaps they had mistaken me for some kind of foreign dignitary. But no, they are just. That. Good. The Food: Traveling in Italy, you don’t expect the food to just be good, you expect it to be great, and in some cases life altering. For the most part, across our trip up and down the coast, eventually making our way north to Florence, the food was very much “great.” However, one of the few instances to approach “life altering” occurred here at our lunch. The freshest sea food, pasta and unexpectedly the most remarkable fresh fruit I’ve ever tasted. It was the simplest thing, a strawberry, divided and filled with what I believe was a sorbet. It propelled me back through time, to memories of eating strawberry ice cream with my grandmother. Outstanding. Overall Impression: Anytime spent in Ravello is likely to be a highlight of your trip. But time spent at the Caruso elevates your experience to the point of potentially becoming a highlight of your life. A sincere thank you to the entire team, we hope to return soon.

The setting is gorgeous, the views are breathtaking, and the hotel is beautiful—but what truly makes Hotel Caruso special is the people. From the moment we arrived, everyone made us feel like family. Antoinetta at the front desk went above and beyond, helping with everything from questions, bookings, changing tours and even ice for an injury. Josie was equally kind and welcoming. The food at Caruso was our favorite of the entire Italy trip, even compared to the Michelin restaurants we tried. We loved the bar menu most, followed by the Grille. The bar became our favorite place to relax—Carmine greeted us each evening with the warmest smile and made every night fun. Tommaso, the manager, was wonderful too (his special gimlet is a 10/10!). And of course, Luigi, the doorman, greeted us every day with genuine warmth and charm. Caruso is so much more than a beautiful hotel—the staff and their thoughtful touches make the experience truly unforgettable.
