Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, Amalfi Coast

What the classifiers highlight

Perched above Ravello, the hotel traces its origins to an 11th-century noble family palazzo, its terraced gardens stepping down toward a heated infinity pool that blurs into sea and sky. Forbes counts 40 of the 50 rooms with sea views and singles out Il Pantaleone, where chef Armando Aristarco runs four tasting menus plus a dedicated vegan one.
