“Dear Caruso Team, Please accept our heartfelt gratitude for the truly extraordinary experience we enjoyed during our recent stay as we celebrated our 10-year anniversary. Caruso has long held a special place in our hearts, yet this visit surpassed even our highest expectations. From the moment we arrived, every member of your team made us feel warmly welcomed and genuinely cared for. The gracious hospitality extended by the valet staff, front desk team, Carmine and Tommy at the bar, and Marco at the pool brought a personal touch to every moment and made our celebration exceptionally memorable. What continues to set Caruso apart is not only its breathtaking setting but also the impeccable attention to detail woven throughout the entire guest experience. We were especially impressed by the recent enhancements to the property. From the elegant new logo and beautifully crafted custom-designed plates to the thoughtfully refreshed guest rooms, every element reflects a dedication to sophistication, excellence, and timeless hospitality. While the iconic pool remains one of the most spectacular in the world, it is ultimately the people who define the spirit of Caruso. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine care transformed our stay into something truly unforgettable and created memories we will cherish for years to come. For those seeking hospitality that consistently exceeds expectations, there is simply no finer destination than Caruso. Thank you for making our anniversary celebration more meaningful, memorable, and special than we could have ever imagined. We can’t wait to visit again.”
“We had an amazing lunch with our friends at Caruso Grill. Giovannis team made our stay extraordinary. He and his team are very friendly, charming and professionell. They had a very nice detail with us and we enjoyed frozen strawberries with strawberry Sorbet as a desert. The food is high end quality. We’re looking forward to come back. Thank you for this beautiful escape and very special lunch time”
“A true hidden gem in the heart of the Amalfi Coast. Like every Belmond hotel we have visited across Europe, this property is truly exceptional — combining a breathtaking location, stunning views, outstanding restaurants, and perhaps one of the most beautiful infinity pools in Europe. The bar is fantastic, the food in the restaurants was absolutely delicious, and the cocktails and drinks were excellent, with a wide and carefully selected variety. What truly makes this place unforgettable, however, is the staff. This is without a doubt one of the most attentive, warm, and dedicated hotel teams we have ever encountered. They do everything possible — and beyond — to meet their guests’ needs and make their stay truly special. We were especially impressed by the care and attention they extend to pets as well, making sure even our furry companion felt comfortable and well looked after. Special thanks to General Manager Iolanda Mansi, who is undoubtedly one of the best hotel managers we have ever met. Always smiling, always present, and genuinely involved — you can see her everywhere, from the reception to the restaurants and the pool area. She creates a wonderful atmosphere and makes every guest feel valued and welcome. A big thank you as well to Aurora (I hope I remembered the name correctly) from reception, together with her colleagues and the concierge team. They did the impossible to locate a vital medication for our dog across the entire coast and made sure it was delivered to the hotel. This level of care and dedication is something truly rare and unforgettable. Many thanks also to the team of vallet and the luggage assistance team — absolute professionals. Overall, this is a remarkable place with breathtaking views, beautiful rooms, and attention to every detail. A perfect combination of luxury, comfort, and genuine hospitality. We would gladly return again. And we highly recommend it to anyone who decides to visit the Amalfi Coast.”
“We had an incredible dinner at Caruso Grill! Beautiful restaurant with fresh, delicious seafood, drinks & desserts. The views are stunningly beautiful. Service was exceptional; everyone was kind & welcoming, gave great recommendations, and were very professional. We will definitely be back next time we are in Ravello!”
