Last one in's a rotten egg! We're finding the best places in the world to stick our toes in this summer (or next winter) for our World's Coolest Pools map. Know of any pools we must check out? Let us know.

Before we started this series, we probably couldn't have picked an infinity pool out of a line-up of cool pools. Now we're a little obsessed, but can you blame us? That element of visual danger accompanying the edge is a world away from the backyard pools of our youth.

The Hotel Caruso Amalfi's infinity pool looks like it might just sweep you off a cliff into the Mediterranean. Of course it's not that close to the coast, but the views of the mountains along the Amalfi Coast could fool you.

The Hotel Caruso, owned by Orient-Express, was founded in 1893 and has played host to writers like Tennessee Williams and William Styron. Work on your masterpiece while relaxing on your private terrace, then unwind with a private massage. A ShermansTravel commenter mentions that guests checking in are met with lemonade or strawberry bellinis, which sounds like the perfect welcome gift, and a TripAdvisor reviewer recommends swimming before breakfast when the pool is empty. We'd want this vista all to ourself as well.
