Located in a quiet quarter of Capri town but near its lively centre, the hotel faces the island’s southern coast, giving guests stunning views from their balconies and terraces. Bedrooms are tastefully furnished with all modern conveniences, including whirlpool baths. A snack bar is ideally placed by the swimming pool, which is hewn out of the rock and shaded by olive trees, while the restaurant invites you to sample local cooking. It’s a good base for sightseeing, but the adventurous should try the Via Krupp pathway, where bends hacked from rock lead to the Bay of Marina Piccola.
