Ravello, perched 1,000 feet above the Amalfi Coast
Why We Recommend It
This extraordinary property offers what may be the Amalfi Coast’s most spectacular setting, with views that have inspired artists and composers for centuries. The elevated position provides both cooler temperatures and peaceful seclusion away from the coastal crowds, while still offering easy access to the region’s charms via the hotel’s complimentary shuttle. The combination of historical grandeur, world-class service, and breathtaking natural beauty creates an unparalleled romantic retreat.
Atmosphere and Design
The legendary Hotel Caruso (its fans have included Greta Garbo, Jackie Kennedy, Humphrey Bogart, and Virginia Woolf) preserves the soulful character of its medieval origins while providing every contemporary luxury. Frescoed ceilings, ancient stone arches, and historical architectural details create a backdrop of authentic elegance throughout the property. Guest accommodations feature handcrafted furniture, luxurious fabrics, and locally made ceramics that reflect the region’s artistic traditions.
The expansive gardens and intimate courtyards offer multiple spaces for contemplation, creating an atmosphere of rarefied tranquility high above the Mediterranean.
