Enquire NowAbout Belmond Hotel Caruso
Ravello sits above the Amalfi Coast like a secret the cliffs decided to keep—higher, quieter, more ethereal than the villages hugging the shoreline below.
And at Ravello's crown sits Belmond Hotel Caruso, an 11th-century palazzo where history and luxury have merged so seamlessly you stop noticing which century you're standing in.
Walk through frescoed halls where noble families once entertained, step onto terraces where the Mediterranean appears to start at your feet, discover the infinity pool that's become one of the world's most photographed—not through Instagram fame but because that view genuinely stops your breath.
The Wagner Gardens spill down the hillside in a riot of Mediterranean flora, creating ceremony spaces where the backdrop needs no decoration beyond what nature and architecture already provide.
With fifty rooms ensuring intimate scale, Belmond service setting the standard for Italian hospitality, and exclusive use transforming the entire property into your private cliff-top kingdom, Caruso delivers the Amalfi Coast wedding at its most refined.

A Living Monument to Italian History
The palazzo's foundations were laid in the 11th century, when Ravello flourished as a wealthy maritime republic.
Noble families built their residences at this elevated position—high enough to see approaching ships, close enough to the sky to feel removed from earthly concerns.
For centuries, the building served as a private palace, its halls echoing with the conversations of aristocrats, artists, and thinkers drawn to Ravello's otherworldly beauty.

| Wagner Gardens Named for the composer who found inspiration in Ravello, these terraced gardens descend the hillside in layers of citrus, jasmine, and bougainvillea. With exclusive use, they become your ceremony and reception canvas—multiple levels offering different perspectives, the Mediterranean providing the horizon, and that sense of floating between earth and heaven that defines Ravello. | 180 | 140 | 140 | 150 |
| The Colonne Room The palace's grand hall, where ancient columns support vaulted ceilings and restored frescoes tell stories in faded pigments. This becomes your elegant backup plan or preferred indoor celebration space—historic grandeur with modern lighting and acoustics, where dinner feels like you've traveled back to noble banquets of centuries past. | 150 | 140 | 120 | 100 |

World-Class Facilities
Five-star amenities designed for relaxation and enrichment
The Infinity Pool
Not just a pool but an architectural statement—heated year-round, positioned at the cliff's edge where it seems to merge with the sea and sky.
Surrounded by loungers and that view that somehow never gets old no matter how many times you see it.
The single most iconic element of Belmond Hotel Caruso.
Caruso Wellness Spa
A sanctuary carved into the ancient palazzo, offering treatments that blend modern techniques with Mediterranean traditions.
Sauna, steam rooms, and massage therapies overlooking the gardens—where your wedding party retreats for pre-celebration serenity.
Wagner Gardens
Multiple terraced levels descending the hillside, each planted with Mediterranean flora that perfumes the air.
Stone pathways wind between lemon trees and jasmine, hidden benches offer private moments, and every level frames that commanding view.
The gardens are both event space and experience—guests explore them throughout your celebration, discovering new vantage points and quiet corners.
Historic Frescoed Halls
Throughout the palazzo, preserved frescoes and period details remind you this isn't a recreation of history—it is history.
Walking from your suite to the terrace means passing through centuries, and that authenticity creates an atmosphere no modern construction could replicate.
Private Boat
The hotel's vessel offers excursions along the coast—sunset cruises, day trips to Capri, arrivals by sea that let guests experience the dramatic coastline from water level before ascending to Ravello's heights.
Fitness Center
State-of-the-art equipment in a space where even the treadmill comes with those views.
Maintaining your wellness routine becomes considerably easier when the alternative to exercise is simply staring at the Mediterranean.

It's the convergence of authentic 11th-century architecture, that elevation creating views unlike anywhere else on the coast, the legendary infinity pool, Wagner's terraced gardens, and Belmond's global standard for service excellence.
