Star Service "It is a subtly modern remake of a 1950s classic. Calling the hotel "deluxe" is something of a misnomer, but the Raito is a delightful standout." Full review

The average-size standard units, with their mediocre proportions and uneventful "garden" exposures, should be avoided.
Travel + Leisure "The hotel makes the most of its location; its three restaurants, two alfresco swimming pools, and spa all have stunning panoramic sea views. So do many of the 77 sleek, high-ceilinged guest rooms." Full review

"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."
