Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, Amalfi Coast

Belmond Hotel Caruso occupies the medieval Palazzo d'Afflitto on the highest cliff in Ravello, 350 metres above the Amalfi Coast where Wagner composed Parsifal and Greta Garbo holidayed in seclusion. Frescoed loggias, Roman vaulted ceilings, and an infinity pool that floats at the cliff edge over the Bay of Salerno define the property's singular sense of altitude. The Belvedere Restaurant and the lemon-grove Pool Bar offer Campania-rooted dining, while the Rufolo gardens — original setting for Wagner's magic garden of Klingsor — sit just below the property gate. A Caruso stay is altitude-luxury without parallel on the coast.
