Hotels with the best pools in Italy

Italy is home to some of Europe’s most memorable hotel pools, from alpine lakes to Mediterranean coasts and Tuscan hills. This selection presents five luxury properties where the swimming pool is not merely an amenity but a central element of the experience: views over the Tyrrhenian Sea, a Renaissance garden, Lake Como or Sicilian olive groves. Each address was evaluated on its pool architecture, landscape integration, quality of associated services (spa, dining) and the reliability of available information. All five ranked hotels are open in 2026 and belong to the palace or five-star category.

1. Belmond Hotel Caruso · Ravello, Amalfi Coast

Its seemingly endless infinity pool, suspended between sky and sea, is regularly cited among the most beautiful in the world. At 20 metres long, it offers a sweeping view over the Gulf of Salerno and the Cilento mountains. The property counts 50 rooms and suites, a spa with hammam and Carita treatments, and a gastronomic restaurant, the Belvedere, where chef Armando Aristarco presides. The terraced gardens, planted with lemon trees and bougainvillea, complete the suspended atmosphere.

2. Four Seasons Hotel Firenze · Florence

Two Renaissance palaces and the largest private garden in Florence, where a heated outdoor pool stretches amid statues and cypress trees.

Four Seasons Hotel Firenze occupies the Palazzo della Gherardesca and the adjoining convent, surrounded by a 4.5-hectare park, the Giardino della Gherardesca.

The hotel has 116 rooms and suites, a 1,200 m² spa with indoor pool, and the one-Michelin-star restaurant Il Palagio, led by chef Paolo Lavezzini.
