Top choice
"There can be no better place to swim than the Caruso’s sensational infinity pool... Rooms are suitably mod-conned with a TV/DVD system that slides sexily out of a wooden cabinet." Full review
Independent
"It may be one of the more expensive hotels in the area, but the Caruso is also one of the most family-friendly. Set in extensive grounds with a vast infinity pool in a quiet corner of Ravello."
