BELMOND HOTEL CARUSO

The most charming hotel in this city that counts only beautiful hotels, that is little to say. This old 1893 th century palace, decorated with beautiful frescoes, was opened by Mr Pantaleone Caruso in. He was then called Pensione Belvedere and had only five rooms. In 1903, an article in the New York Times celebrates the establishment on the other side of the Atlantic. Quickly, the hotel takes the name of its owner, expands and settles throughout the palace. The refined rooms are furnished with Roman antiques, the infinity swimming pool has an incredible location, 400 m above the Mediterranean. It was in this hotel that Greta Garbo found refuge with his lover, that Graham Green and William Styron would write the Third Man and La Proie in part. The new suites are the kind of small private houses inspired by the Moorish style, based on the old medieval walls of the palace. With great luxury, the Caruso is part of the Orient-Express hotels.
