About Caruso, A Belmond Hotel
An eleventh-century palazzo on the Ravello ridge, run by Belmond as a fifty-room hotel, with the infinity pool that sits on every Amalfi Coast mood board: a flat sheet of water at the cliff edge, the Gulf of Salerno behind it, and nothing in the frame in between.
The wedding spaces are the Wagner Gardens, which seat 140 for dinner and hold 150 for a ceremony, the frescoed Colonne Room, which seats 140 and is the wet-weather plan you actually want, and the terraces, which take about 180 for a cocktail reception flowing between the gallery and the gardens.
Belmond runs the events team in-house, so catering, sound and flowers come through one office rather than five contracts.
Exclusive use of the hotel is offered for weddings of roughly 91 to 150 guests, which is the point at which the property stops being shared with other guests and the pool becomes yours.

Our daughter’s wedding at the Belmond Caruso in Ravello this past May was an absolute dream. Everything was flawlessly planned and beautifully executed — truly perfection in every detail.

Questions about the venue
How many guests can Caruso seat for a wedding dinner?+
The Wagner Gardens seat 140 and the Colonne Room seats 140 indoors. A cocktail reception flowing between the gardens, gallery and terraces reaches about 180, which is the largest number the hotel quotes for a wedding.
Can you take over the whole hotel?+
Yes. Belmond offers exclusive use for weddings of roughly 91 to 150 guests, which gives you the pool terrace, the gardens and all fifty rooms without other hotel guests in the frame. Smaller weddings run alongside normal hotel operation.
What happens if it rains on the day?+
The Colonne Room, a frescoed hall inside the palazzo, seats the same 140 the gardens do, so the wet-weather plan is a room rather than a marquee. On this coast that matters: October and early May can turn in an afternoon.
How far is Caruso from Naples airport?+
About 60 km and an hour and three quarters by road, most of it on the Amalfi Drive, which is slow in July and August. A hydrofoil to Amalfi plus a 25-minute drive up to Ravello is the alternative and often the more comfortable one.
Does Caruso do legal ceremonies?+
Civil ceremonies in Ravello are performed by the comune, most often in the Villa Rufolo or the town hall, and couples then hold the symbolic ceremony at the hotel. Foreign couples usually complete the legal paperwork at home and treat the Ravello ceremony as the one that counts.
