Perched 1,000 feet above sea level with unobscured views of the Amalfi Coast, Hotel Caruso sits on the Ravello cliffs with splendid gardens bursting with oleander and wisteria. The property first opened as a small pensione in 1893, then gained notoriety over the years that followed, welcoming a wealth of famous names including Ronald Reagan, Humphrey Bogart, Jackie Kennedy and Greta Garbo, to name a few. Today the Caruso is at the top of its game with tranquil rose gardens providing welcome respite from a day’s exploring, beautiful 18th century frescoes adorning the walls.
