5 Star Hotels in Gulf of Salerno, Campania

"From the moment we checked in Rosie the concierge was very welcoming. She assigned Elise to give us a tour of the hotel and the spectacular upgrade to an oceanfront suite. The hotel was built near the foundations of an 11th century Palazzo. My suite was a partial archaeological monument the master suite encompassed some of the original walls and the brick dome. Everything you want is at hand with leather covered Espresso machines and hot water kettle! Piero the porter was careful in bringing up the suitcases, up the stairs to the separate master’s suite. The hotel was also exceptionally meticulous in receiving.my clothing purchases in Italy which were waiting at the Hotel for me. Every morning the included buffet breakfast was spectacular. Starting with fresh seasonal berries and eggs of your choice. The Caruso version of an eggs Benedict was delicious. Prawn omelette with caviar was also excellent. Fresh squeezed juices were abundant. The view from the breakfast area of the Amalfi coast and the waterfront villages are unforgettable. I followed breakast at 9 am with a 20 minute swim in the infinity pool. Swimming with view of parallel mountain tops or looking over the edge at the villages and the coast is unique. Marco the pool attendant was alway ready with a towel and a bottle of sparkling water (my preference) the pool water was 28 degrees Centigrade to 24 degrees when it was very windy. Very comfortable for lap swimming. Bravo Hotel Caruso. Hope to visit again!"
