Caruso, A Belmond Hotel: Above the Amalfi Coast
For an Amalfi Coast escape with a different perspective, look up towards Ravello. Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, occupies an 11th-century palace above the coastline, with sweeping sea views and a setting that encourages time spent at the hotel itself.
A palace in Ravello
Caruso has 50 rooms and suites, with individual historic details and airy interiors. Its elevated location is an important distinction: this is a Ravello retreat, rather than a beachside hotel in Positano.
Days by the pool
The infinity pool is one of the property’s defining features. La Piscina pool club and Mediterranean gardens offer a setting for relaxed afternoons, while the wellness centre provides another way to slow the pace.
Dining and planning
Dining options include Il Pantaleone and the more casual Caruso Grill. Before booking, compare room categories and organise transfers around your arrival plans.
For current accommodation, dining and reservations, visit the official Caruso website.

Villa d’Este, Lake Como: Timeless Italian Elegance
At Villa d’Este, the setting is central to the appeal: a historic estate beside Lake Como, with gardens that invite a slower pace. For an Italian escape centred on architecture, landscape and time outdoors, this Cernobbio address belongs on the list.
A historic lakeside estate
The property dates to the 16th century. Today, its 151 rooms are spread between the Cardinal’s Building and the Queen’s Pavilion, two distinctive residences overlooking the lake. The contrast between grand architecture and water gives the estate its particular character.
Room to slow down
The ten-hectare park is an essential part of the experience. Fountains, sculpted hedges, mature trees and seasonal flowers make the gardens more than a backdrop. Leave time to explore them without rushing between plans.
Planning your visit
Villa d’Este is in Cernobbio, on Lake Como. Check room outlooks and current availability directly with the hotel before booking.
