ELEGANT TRAVELLER

Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, Amalfi Coast Blogs

The Amalfi Coast is world-renowned for its spectacular vistas and the Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, Amalfi Coast in Ravello perches on a clifftop, 1,000ft high above the Mediterranean. Add in lemon groves, lush vineyards and hanging gardens that plunge down to the sea, and the setting alone explains why its guests have been drawn to this 11th century palazzo over the years. Guests pass down narrow alleyways, past stone lions that guard the hotel entrance, on their arrival where they will find lovely sights at every turn from the park filled with pergolas, to 18th century frescoes and an enormous fireplace in the bar. Meanwhile, rooms and suites, many with a sea view and a garden, maintain the hotel's ‘private home’ atmosphere.
