Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, Amalfi Coast

A Belmond hotel. Rialto is a Belmond Bellini Club agency and can provide VIP access and offers.

It’s easy to see why Ravello, and the entire Amalfi Coast, has inspired the likes of Richard Wagner, D.H. Lawrence, and Gore Vidal. The Caruso has long been a favorite of discerning globetrotters. Just 50 guest rooms and suites make for an intimate ambience, and most of the rooms have a sea view, terrace, or private garden. Outside, the infinity-edge swimming pool sits dramatically suspended between sea and sky. Join the head gardener for a private tour of the terraced gardens and enjoy the complimentary boat cruise along the Amalfi Coast, then reserve a romantic candlelit dinner at the open-air Ristorante Belvedere.

Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, is a haven of romance and inspiration above the Amalfi Coast. Soaring between sea and sky, it’s where the heart fills and the mind runs free. The elegant Ravello palace, carved high into the rocks with wondrous views of the Tyrrhenian Sea, blends original frescoes and vaulted ceilings with contemporary, artisanal elements.

Its origins date from the 11th century when the noble d’Afflitto family, having been shipwrecked off the coast, fell deeply in love with the romantic setting. Today, many original features and fragments from the palace they built have been carefully preserved – fitting for an archaeologically rich area that embraces Pompeii and Herculaneum. In 1893, hotelier Pantaleone Caruso transformed the palace into a cocoon-like retreat that attracted the likes of Virginia Woolf, Greta Garbo and Jackie Kennedy.

Set in richly layered gardens filled with pomegranate, olive and lemon trees, Caruso boasts unrivalled views over the coast. The majestic pool offers the sensation of swimming in the sky, while the mesmerising spa is the place to truly unwind. The 50 rooms and suites, reached by marbled hallways, captivate with Italian antiques and vine-clad balconies. For the ultimate privacy, guests can book Villa Margherita, a private standalone residence with outstanding vistas.

The ethos of La Dieta Mediterranea is celebrated at the Belvedere Restaurant, where the flavours of Campania combine with fabled sea views. Laidback alfresco glamour is on the menu at the poolside Caruso Grill.

Guests are invited to enjoy their best beach life on the Amalfi Coast. A courtesy shuttle will escort them to a captivating paradise, just a minute’s walk from the Caruso shuttle stop in Amalfi. Complimentary tours of the coast are available in the hotel’s gleaming wooden motorboat. Further exciting excursions include private tours of Pompeii and nautical adventures on Caruso’s exclusive Apreamare gozzo. Each summer, as Ravello transforms into a world stage for orchestral music, Caruso guests enjoy private concerts over aperitivos.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Belmond Bellini Club always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $100-220 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
