Occupying one of the most desirable locations in the world, nestled into the breath-taking cliffs over Amalfi, Belmond Hotel Caruso is the very pinnacle of romance. It therefore comes at no surprise that guests come here to admire the area that once inspired the likes of the German composer, Richard Wagner. Surrounded by lemon groves, vine covered trellis and flowerbeds that are bursting with vibrant colours; wander around the beautiful grounds, where traces of roses and jasmine breeze through the air.

Positioned at the highest point of Ravello, over 1,000 feet above sea level, on the Sorrento Peninsula, the Belmond Hotel Caruso offers guests exceptional views over the Amalfi Coast, Tyrrhenian Sea and the Mediterranean. A masterpiece in its design is the hotel’s infinity pool, where guests will feel as if they are floating above the azure ocean, almost as if they were closer to the sky than the sea.

Reflecting the splendour of ages past, throughout the property there is evidence of its ancient charm, from the tiny-baroque style chapel, the hanging gardens, the vaulted terrace, its plush furnishings to its fresco-covered ceilings.

Set within the verdant hills of Fiesole overlooking Florence, Villa San Michele, A Belmond Hotel, is a Renaissance masterpiece where monastic history, artistic legacy, and refined Tuscan elegance converge in one of Italy’s most extraordinary hillside retreats. The Hotel Perched high above the terracotta rooftops of Florence, Villa San Michele sits on the site of a former 15th-century monastery, whose iconic façade is widely attributed to Michelangelo. Surrounded by terraced gardens, cypress trees, and panoramic views stretching across the Arno Valley, the hotel offers an atmosphere of profound tranquillity while remaining just minutes from the cultural heart of Florence. The property’s historic architecture has been meticulously preserved, with cloisters, stone corridors, and original frescoes woven seamlessly into its contemporary luxury offering. Interiors reflect timeless Italian sophistication through antique furnishings, handcrafted details, vaulted ceilings, and curated artworks, creating a setting that feels both grand and deeply intimate. Guestrooms and suites are individually designed, many featuring private gardens, terraces, or sweeping views of Florence and the Tuscan countryside, blending Renaissance splendour with modern comfort. Villa San Michele offers a rare sense of seclusion — an elevated sanctuary where Florence’s artistic soul is ever-present, yet the pace remains entirely serene. Amenities After an 18-month restoration, Villa San Michele reopens its doors in 2026 – now with an extended season, reimagined interiors, signature suites, a new dining concept, Guerlain spa, and a calendar of curated experiences in collaboration with Italian lifestyle brand, La DoubleJ. At the centre of Villa San Michele’s experience is its celebrated culinary programme, rooted in Tuscan gastronomy and local seasonal ingredients. Restaurants are set on magnificent terraces overlooking Florence, delivering refined regional cuisine in one of Italy’s most breathtaking dining settings. Guests can enjoy leisurely breakfasts beneath lemon trees, intimate candlelit dinners, and immersive culinary experiences through the hotel’s renowned cookery school. The hotel’s landscaped gardens, heated panoramic pool, and quiet courtyards provide restorative spaces for relaxation, while wellness offerings include bespoke spa treatments, yoga, and outdoor pursuits that embrace the surrounding Tuscan hills. Villa San Michele also offers curated cultural experiences, from private access to museums and art-focused excursions in Florence to wine tastings in Chianti, Vespa tours, and guided explorations of Tuscany’s historic estates and villages. Beyond the hotel, guests are perfectly positioned to explore Florence’s unparalleled artistic landmarks, including the Duomo, Uffizi Gallery, and Ponte Vecchio, before retreating to the peace of Fiesole’s elevated beauty. Villa San Michele remains one of Tuscany’s most iconic retreats — where Renaissance grandeur, Belmond’s legendary hospitality, and the timeless romance of Florence exist in perfect harmony.
