The Hotel Caruso in Ravello was one of the best Italian vacations and definitely the best small Italian hotel I have ever stayed in. The pictures we saw before travelling do not do justice to the views both inside and outside the hotel.

The view from our terrace was beyond price, possibly the most beautiful views we have ever seen anywhere.

We had a junior deluxe suite with a garden terrace, our own sunbeds and outdoor dining table, on which we had breakfast every morning. I’m not sure what we enjoyed more because the breakfasts were fantastic but again so was the view!!

The pool is extraordinary, and the photo just does not do it justice, and we spent one of our four days here not exploring just sitting at the pool, enjoying the view, complemented by a quite superb pizza and a bottle of wine.

The gourmet food in the restaurants was beautifully presented, and the tastes delicious.

By the way, the town of Ravello is quite delightful with lovely restaurants and bars, a beautiful square, great shops, and only a few minutes away.

In my own experience the Hotel Caruso  is one of the best small Italian hotels , and would be the ideal destination for a luxurious honeymoon in Italy. We couldn’t find fault, and my husband tried hard, after reading some unfavourable reviews. Judgement should be reserved until you see for yourself.
