The cliff face is pale limestone , and it falls almost vertically to the Tyrrhenian Sea . Hotel Caruso stands above Ravello , a hilltop town on the Amalfi Coast in Campania , southern Italy . The building is a restored eleventh - century palazzo , and the stone carries centuries of honey and salt . Your room sits inside the rock itself . The walls are thick plaster the colour of old parchment , and the floors are cool terracotta underfoot . Each room on the upper floors opens onto a private terrace . The drop below is dizzying in the best possible way . Breakfast arrives at that terrace in the early morning , when the sea is still a silver - grey disc . The coffee is Neapolitan and serious , the pastries local and dusted with icing sugar . Stay at this level and the day has already paid for itself . The infinity pool is the hotel 's most photographed feature , cantilevered at the cliff 's edge . Its water seems to pour directly into the sea below . Dinner in the arched dining room draws on the Campanian larder : anchovies from Cetara , buffalo mozzarella , pasta ribboned with bottarga . The flavours are sharp and uncomplicated . Ravello itself is a ten - minute walk from the hotel gates . The cathedral piazza is shaded by stone pines , and the afternoon light lands on the cobbles in long copper bars . At dusk the cliff turns the colour of fired brick . Sit on your terrace and the coast arranges itself , very slowly . It holds the eye long after the sun has gone .
