A former 11th century palace set on cliffs beside the Amalfi Coast, Hotel Caruso seems to drift on a ‘balcony’ above the Mediterranean Sea. As with so many Orient-Express hotels it is a triumph of the restorer’s skill. Its ancient walls and fresco-covered ceilings have been carefully preserved to make it a work of art in itself. Stroll through the terraced gardens or lounge beside the stunning infinity pool. Take a boat trip to Positano or discover Roman Pompeii. Wherever you turn, both inside the hotel and out, a world of heritage, culture and beauty awaits. Start the day with an energising workout in our beautiful gardens, or exercise in the fully-equipped Fitness Centre. Located in the Wellness Centre, surrounded by the luscious Belvedere Gardens, the Fitness Centre offers all the latest hi-tech equipment to give you an optimum workout, including a treadmill, step machine, exercise bikes and weights. All the machines face the window, looking out over the gardens and Amalfi Coast, providing an excellent distraction as you “feel the burn”. Found at the highest point of Ravello, just past the hotel’s handsome portico bar and lovingly preserved 18th-century drawing room, you access the pool through an alley of roses shaded by a pergola down which rivulets of water trickle. The elliptically shaped pool blends perfectly into its natural surroundings. As you bathe in the gently-heated waters, gazing out to the horizon, sea, sky and mountains all seem to blend as one. A concierge is on hand to bring you an iPod with your choice of music, fresh fruit, an Evian vaporiser… anything to make your poolside stay even more pleasurable.

Ubicado en el punto más alto de Ravello, a 350 sobre el nivel del mar, es un oasis de paz y tranquilidad, con una maravillosa e impresionante vista. El hotel puede ser alcanzado, en corto tiempo, desde las playas y los famosos resorts de la Costa Amalfi: Amalfi, Positano, Atrani, Sorrento, y Nápoles, Herculeano y Pompeya.
