The Hotel Caruso in Ravello
Where The Angels Would Choose To Bathe
Ravello has long been one of the most inspiring destinations on earth, and has been described as having the most beautiful views on the planet. The Hotel Caruso dominates the highest point on Ravello, providing the opportunity to be either a little closer to Heaven, or right on the edge of Paradise – you can take your pick.
The Hotel Caruso was renovated in 2005, although the classical style and architecture remains unchanged, and it is this for which the Hotel Caruso is well known amongst luxury hotels in Italy.
Perched high on a cliff top a thousand feet above the turquoise Mediterranean the views from the terraces and gardens are truly breathtaking, and many guests have made it very clear that this is not just a phrase, but a genuine reaction to the unrivalled panorama on display. Gazing out across the Amalfi Coast it is entirely probable that you will be instantly captivated, and will find it hard to imagine wanting to do anything else during your stay but admire the view.
The Hotel Caruso Infinity Pool
It’s also hard to imagine how the Hotel Caruso could possibly make it any more dramatic – but they have. The Hotel Caruso have what has been described as the most amazing infinity pool in the whole of Europe, and certainly spending time in here each day is the best way to recharge your mind, body and spirit.
This must surely be where the angels come to bathe.
Every one of the 26 rooms and 26 suites provides luxurious comfort, and sun-drenched space, with most of them having a private terrace or garden which affords spectacular views across the sea. You’ll certainly feel special staying at the Hotel Caruso, and you’ll be in good company, with the guest book revealing previous guests include Margot Fonteyn, Humphrey Bogart and Jackie Kennedy.
Luxury hotels provide days to savour, and at the Hotel Caruso you can start the day with a sumptuous breakfast on the terraces watching the sunlight sparkle across the Mediterranean far below, whilst the ancient Byzantine columns which form the preserved ruins within the hotel’s grounds begin to glow as they become bathed in warm light.
From there you may decide to spend a while in the infinity pool staring out at all the world there needs to ever be for as many moments as it takes for your spirit to feel thoroughly cleansed and lifted. Treat yourself to a session at the Wellness Centre or gymnasium, both with panoramic views to take your mind off any effort you choose to make.
Perhaps instead you might choose to take advantage of the complimentary boat trip which sets off each day around the Amalfi Coast, providing you with the opportunity to sample fresh local delicacies, be plied with drinks or dive in for a Mediterranean swim.
Caruso Restaurant
After all that you’ll probably be keen to sample the hotel’s menus, and whether you choose the Caruso Restaurant with magnificent views across the coast, the open air Belvedere Restaurant in the heart of the gardens or the more informal Poolside Bar, you’ll discover a wide range of mouth-watering culinary delights that exemplify all that is good about dining at luxury hotels.
Elegant, classical, majestic and breathtaking are words that have been used to describe many luxury hotels, but nowhere deserves such exuberance more than the Hotel Caruso, where you truly do feel closer to Heaven than anywhere else on earth.
