Set on a cliff edge, over tiered groves of lemons and olive vines, Caruso seems to float above the ocean. Spend days exploring the nearby villages, or when your heart yearns for some slower-paced days, simply relax on a sun-lounger with a glass of champagne, sharing romance-filled moments with your spouse.
