Full History & Heritage
Set on a cliff edge 1,000 feet above sea level, the Belmond Hotel Caruso is an 11th-century palace that has been masterfully restored. Originally built by a patrician family shipwrecked on their journey to Constantinople, it later became a haven for the global elite, including Virginia Woolf, Greta Garbo, and Jackie Kennedy. The original frescoed salons and ancient walls offer an unparalleled sense of Italian nobility.
The Infinity Pool
Often cited as one of the most spectacular infinity pools in the world, the pool at Hotel Caruso appears to drop off seamlessly into the azure waters of the Mediterranean below. Heated year-round, it offers an illusion of floating among the clouds. The dedicated pool concierge ensures endless supplies of Evian vaporizers, fresh fruit, and iPods pre-loaded with curated playlists.
