1.Belmond Hotel Caruso, the Amalfi Coast
A palace built in the 11th century on cliffs beside the Amalfi Coast, Belmond Hotel Caruso seems to drift on a ‘balcony’ above the Mediterranean Sea. The hotel is a triumph of restorering skills. Its ancient walls and fresco-covered ceilings have been carefully preserved to make them a work of art. You can stroll through the terraced gardens or lounge beside a stunning infinity pool. Or take a boat trip to Positano or discover ancient Roman Pompeii. Wherever you go, both inside and outside the hotel, there is the world of heritage, culture and beauty awaiting you.
What we like the most
The spectacular infinity pool is an architectural masterpiece. Set at the highest point above the town of Ravello, it seems to dissolve among clouds, providing unparalleled and breathtaking views of the coastline below.

You can call this place a heaven on earth and sheer delight.
