Belmond Hotel Caruso, perched 365 meters above sea level in the hilltop town of Ravello, offers a celestial escape between sea and sky—your private balcony over the Amalfi Coast. Through the lens of Letizia Le Fur, the hotel’s timeless elegance is reimagined in expressive color and light, capturing what she calls the “omnipresent sun” that bathes the 11th-century palace and cliffside gardens in a dreamlike glow. Among its most unique experiences is the Formichelle Path—a guided hike through ancient lemon groves once traversed by women who carried baskets of citrus on their heads. Restored with the help of Caruso, the trail honors this heritage while offering panoramic views and a sensory immersion into the soul of the Amalfi Coast.
