Suspended between sea and sky at Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, La Piscina features a newly redesigned infinity pool offering stunning panoramic vistas of the dramatic Italian coastline, complemented by a sophisticated contemporary luxe design that nods to the hotel’s original 11th-century palazzo.
Guests can unwind in two exclusive private cabanas, perfect for couples or friends, with uninterrupted views of the lush Dragon Valley and the ancient village of Scala.
Ozio Creativo: Creative Leisure to Moonlit Swims
Inspired by ozio creativo, the art of mindful, creative leisure, La Piscina’s day-to-night programming invites travellers to embrace the magic of Villeggiatura—the endless Italian summer holiday. Start your morning with sunrise yoga or a guided sight-jog through Ravello’s historic streets.
Dive into hands-on classes for painting, fresh pasta, or zesty limoncello, or explore the hotel’s immaculate terraced gardens on a private tour. Spend afternoons basking under the Mediterranean sun with a cocktail in hand or discovering hidden coastal coves by boat.
As the sun sets, evenings come alive with stargazing led by astronomy experts, intimate outdoor cinema nights at Ravello’s highest peak, or a moonlit swim under a blanket of stars. Guests receive a La Piscina Essentials Kit on arrival—complete with Amalfi lemon-infused water, premium sunscreen, Belmond’s Mondes magazine, and surprise culinary treats to enhance the day’s indulgence.
Gastronomic Excellence: La Dieta Mediterranea at Caruso Grill
Culinary experiences take center stage with Executive Chef Armando Aristarco’s menus, celebrating the Mediterranean diet with fresh, local ingredients from the Amalfi and Cilento coasts.
Enjoy dishes at the chic Caruso Grill or fine dining Ristorante Belvedere, where Neapolitan classics like handmade pasta and wood-fired pizza are paired with locally crafted limoncello. This summer, don’t miss Ditirambo Nights on select dates, where producers from Cilento bring their traditions to life with live music, dancing, and immersive tastings.
Monthly bartending evenings culminate in a midnight spaghettata, a lively late-night pasta gathering that embodies the joy of Italian conviviality.
Honouring Campanian Craftsmanship with Livio de Simone
La Piscina’s design celebrates Campania’s rich artisan heritage through exclusive collaborations. Regional craftsmen have preserved original decorative elements while infusing spaces with bold 1960s-inspired colours. Notably, Livio de Simone’s design studio has added hand-painted cushion covers and ceramics, blending vibrant hues with timeless terracotta for a distinctly Mediterranean ambience.
Explore Ravello and the Amalfi Coast
Beyond La Piscina, guests are perfectly positioned to explore the Amalfi Coast’s treasures—from Ravello’s famed Villa Rufolo gardens to the nearby towns of Amalfi and Positano, each bursting with sun-drenched piazzas, artisanal boutiques, and centuries-old churches.
La Piscina is open daily from 27 March to 26 October. Complimentary sunbeds and umbrellas are included for Caruso hotel guests, with private cabanas starting from €220 per day. Visitors can access the pool starting from €330, with cabana packages from €880, including exclusive amenities and experiences.
