Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, Amalfi Coast

We stayed for three nights at the start of the season. Despite the cold weather the team ensured we had a fabulous stay. Too many good staff to name check them all but Antonietta and Nicole on the front desk , were both excellent. Luis elevated a simple room service meal to fine dining fun. Breakfasts great.

When we were planning a 10th anniversary trip to Italy we were on the fence about a trip to Ravello and a stay at Caruso (no offense to either place; we just didn't know what we wanted to plan) -- and we are so, so pleased we ended up both going to Ravello and staying at Caruso. The staff could not have been friendlier and more helpful. When we arrived, I realized I had left our passports in our Rome hotel safe. The staff put all concerns at ease quickly, contacting our Rome hotel and then making sure our passport info was routed to future hotels during our Italy stay. They took care of this like it was the easiest thing in the world. I mention this to make the point that their hospitality skills went beyond just making the hotel a fun and enjoyable place to stay, which it most certainly was. Looking back, quiet and serene is (maybe) the best description of the hotel and the property. By the time we got to the hotel, we were looking to unwind and relax, and this was the perfect fit for that. The pool area is top flight and the grounds were beautiful -- we loved just having a drink and sitting in one of the many areas overlooking the sea and the cliffs. The breakfast was No 1 -- wish we could go back, thinking of it now. Also, the Belvedere was phenomenal. It doesn't get some of the same press as the restaurant next door, and I'm not sure why -- we absolutely loved our dinner there. Finally, one mention of the hotel manager Iolanda: what a nice person, and she made our stay feel extra special. BB/MB

I and my family have had the blessing of enjoying many 5 Star Properties over the years. Caruso has moved to the top of my long list. OUTSTANDING people, property, service!!!

Heavenly views, wonderful breakfast, characterful, eccentric old property with beautiful terraced grounds in unrivalled location, staff outdid themselves to ensure memorable stay. Best for couples and sedate retreats rather than active young families.

While the physical aspect of the Hotel Caruso is fantastic, it’s the staff that make staying here phenomenal. The staff are so warm, kind, and sincere. A good many of the other luxury hotels we have stayed at have attentive staffs who seem to be perfunctorily “nice” to guests. Not here at the Caruso, they really do care and are genuinely nice. Sure it’s pricey to stay here, but it’s definitely worth it!

A fantastic Hotel with wonderful service the Main Restaurant fantastic a must visit. Only criticism, was the slow Coffee & Tea delivery at breakfast. Concierge were great room superb. With a view of the sea from the large balcony. Breakfast buffet excellent.
