Luxury Villa Excelsior Parco is an antique jewel, built in 1906 on the ruins of an ancient Roman villa, immersed in a breathtaking landscape where you can enjoy views of the Tyrrhenian Sea, private gardens, clear sky enlightened by the warm sun of Capri and the scent of the Mediterranean.

The Art Nouveau style inspired décor of the Hotel Excelsior Parco’s 11 uniquely designed rooms combined with the luxurious furnishings pay homage to the island, the beauty of Capri and the enchanting landscapes noticeable from the intimacy of a private terrace.

Let yourself be spoilt by the elegant atmosphere of the villa and its picturesque views of the Gulf of Naples. Our exceptional hospitality will certainly make your stay unforgettable.

THE HISTORY
The history of this enchanting villa began in 1906 when it was built on the ruins of an ancient Roman residence, in the rural area in San Costanzo, facing the well-known Villa Torricella.

Historically owned by the Ambrogi family, the villa was built according to Art Nouveau principles, following the architectural fashions of the early Twentieth Century, decorated with stucco mouldings with floral motifs and masks.

The sophisticated style and precious inlays resulted in its immediate recognition as one of the greatest examples of Liberty style villas in Capri.

Nowadays, of the Roman residence the Park preserves an Egyptian alabaster column and a wide staircase that can be admired at the entrance, while the elegant Art Nouveau style has remained unchanged over time and it still represents a distinctive element of the building.

Twenty years after its construction, on May 14, 1926, Omero Ambrogi turned it into “Hotel Il Parco”, whose management was then entrusted to Alfredo Lucibello from 1927. Initially the structure included, in addition to the main body of three floors, a secondary wing connected with a pergola terrace and 30 beds.

Between 1936-37, according to the Baedeker guide, the rooms indicated were 9 with 16 beds. After the last World War, “Il Parco” was renamed “Hotel Excelsior Parco” and around 1960 it was expanded under the ownership of Luigi Petagna, reaching 30 rooms in that same year.

After his death, the property passed to Ermanno Petagna. Today the Hotel Excelsior Parco continues to provide exceptional hospitality to the visitors of Capri.

THE ARCHITECTURE
Within Excelsior Parco you can breathe in the history of the island, evoked through the style of some legendary places of Capri: the overlooking Villa Torricella and the renowned Villa Lysis. The first, clearly visible from the sea, was built in the early 1900s and is still beautiful today with its eclectic and arabesque decorations.

The second was chosen in 1904 by the French poet and dandy Adelsward Fersen as his place of exile: an example of neoclassical architecture enriched with precious Art Nouveau elements.

Il Parco decided to pay homage to both by revisiting two of its most evocative rooms, Deluxe Fersen Suite and Deluxe Torricella where, the ensemble of Art Nouveau furnishings and choice of luxury furnishing, in harmony with the spectacular views of the sea, give guests the sensation of experiencing the island’s past splendors.

ART NOUVEAU
The ornamental elements of the interiors recall Art Nouveau: floral furnishings, sinuous shapes, blue majolica tiles and motifs inspired by nature blend with the colors of the sky and the sea, which can be observed from the panoramic terraces of each room.

Thus, every environment becomes unique and tells its own story through styles and refined decorations that live in harmony with the island creating, from the internal atmospheres to the boundless outdoor spaces, a continuum of beauty suspended in time.

CULTURAL EVENTS
The majestic building, surrounded by the rocks of Capri and its privileged position where you can enjoy wide and evocative views of the Gulf of Naples, transformed the island into a meeting place for artists and intellectuals who would gather there to discuss culture, art and philosophy.

Today, this ancient tradition is kept alive through vernissage, art exhibitions, debates and conferences . An appointment that is renewed every year with the “Conversations at Sunset” organized in collaboration with the “Centro Caprense Ignazio Cerio”.

ROOMS & SUITES
The elegant balance between the colors of majolicas, luxury and a timeless landscape are meant to give you a little corner of paradise.

Excelsior Parco has 11 rooms, furnished in Art Nouveau style with motifs and details that make them all unique: the precious ceramics, the floral coverings in Art Nouveau, the refined decorations that grace them and pay homage to the beauty of Capri are all enhanced by an incomparable view of the Gulf of Naples and the courtyard below

It has always been about a sense of home, a form of elegance which listens to Capri’s voice and interprets it with a light, personal touch. The villa which is now our hotel was once home to my grandparents, Count and Countess Manfredi, who spent wonderful summers here in the company of friends, family and illustrious figures. More than just a holiday, it was a chance to refresh the body and mind surrounded by nature and warm affection. The same memories still inspire every marvellous season at Punta Tragara today. (Goffredo Manfredi – Owner)

THE HISTORY
It was known as the “Stracasa” (“Super-house”) because it was so much more than a humble abode. In 1920 the Lombardy-born engineer Emilio Errico Vismara chose spectacular Punta Tragara as the perfect spot to build a villa, perched high above the sea with views of the Faraglioni rock formations.

The plans were drawn up by Le Corbusier, who described the villa as “a kind of architectural bloom, an extension of the rock, an offspring of the island, a plant-like phenomenon”.

It was only natural, then, that Villa Vismara should play a key role in history a few years later when it became home to the American command during the Second World War. Its eminent guests included General Dwight D. Eisenhower, General Mark Clark and Sir Winston Churchill.

Peace brought all the joie de vivre of the Dolce Vita to Capri, and in 1968 Count Goffredo Manfredi bought the villa as a holiday home, turning it into a hotel in 1973. Hotel Punta Tragara has enjoyed extraordinary growth ever since, reaching the pinnacle of hospitality on Capri as its five-star luxury status attests today.

THE LOCATION
The entire island from a terrace. The views from Punta Tragara are endless: the spectacular Faraglioni rocks, enchanting Marina Piccola, the white contours of Capri, the wonderful light of dawn embracing the sea and the quietly romantic sunsets. All the bustle and vitality of Capri’s historic Piazzetta is just a fifteen-minute stroll away along Via Tragara and Via Caramelle.

Hotel Punta Tragara, the ultimate in five-star luxury on Capri, towers over the Faraglioni rock formation, Marina Piccola bay and the Scoglio delle Sirene cliffs from above. Located at the end of delightful Via Tragara, the Hotel can only be reached via a 15-minute stroll along one of Capri’s most enchanting routes.

THE PENTHOUSE
An island of exclusivity on the magical island of Capri. The Penthouse at Punta Tragara is a glittering jewel which crowns the hotel’s five-star luxury, an oasis of beauty and unrivalled discretion. The masterpieces of Marina Piccola bay and the Faraglioni rocks are there to be admired from the magnificent 5th-floor terrace.

A maelstrom of beauty refreshes the huge living area adjoining the bedroom and its circular bed, sweeping into the breath-taking light-filled bathroom with central shower and bathtub. Beyond lie only the perfect circles of the sun and moon. Average size: 90mq | 968sq.ft

THE ART SUITE
An extraordinary creation. The sea itself plunges into the 5th-floor Art Suite and caresses Punta Tragara’s five-star luxury. No views over the Faraglioni rocks could be more stunning. No other place could encapsulate the uniqueness of Capri.

The senses thrill to this unique space, from the fabulous bedroom to the living room with bathtub “suspended” over the sea. Even the furnishings epitomise its breath-taking blend of tradition and design. Beyond lies the magnificent terrace. Here, everything lives in the present – legend, nature, strength and tenderness. Average size: 65mq

THE MONACONE SUITE
Like the prow of a yacht, the glorious Monacone Suite dominates the 5th floor of Punta Tragara and the splendour of Capri. The huge terrace wraps around the entire suite, from the bedroom (connected to the magnificent living room via a wide sliding door) to the spectacular marble bathroom and panoramic bathtub overlooking the Faraglioni rocks and Monacone island.

The interiors are made unique by the furnishings, in a superb blend of 18th-century tradition and contemporary design. A stone’s throw away is the soundless sea, the perfect soundtrack to every morn. Average size: 65mq

DINING
Capri is a triumph of flavours. We have everything here: the freshest ingredients, from fruit and vegetables to fish and cheese. Our lemons alone are enough to inspire a whole menu. Punta Tragara is just as extraordinary for its elegant, natural, contemporary cuisine.

From a breakfast of haute patisserie to lunch overlooking the Faraglioni rocks; in the evenings, chance location and dine surrounded by the lights of the Gulf of Naples, just steps away from Capri’s historic Piazzetta. We have two restaurants, Monzù and Mammà, offering the world-renowned traditions of Naples.

LE MONZU’ RESTAURANT
The name “Monzù” Restaurant is a deformation of the French “Monsieur” which is how they called the chefs who worked in the courts of leading Neapolitan aristocratic families between the 13th and the 19th century.

Chef Lionetti’s menu includes many historical Capri favourites and Neapolitan dishes. November 6th 2019, The Gourmet Restaurant Le Monzù of Punta Tragara Capri has been awarded with the first Michelin Star.

THE CHEF LIONETTI
Capri is my island and my whole life, and that includes the kitchen. Nature and style are perfectly balanced here, and that’s just what I look for in my cooking: respect for the ingredients, clean flavours, flawless presentation.

From pasta and potatoes with blue lobster and smoked provola cheese from the Lattari mountains to sliced red tuna with citrus fruit sauce and maritata endive.

Why did we call it “Le Monzù”? Because the chefs to aristocratic Neapolitan families were once given the French title “Monsieur”. And because the language of Naples reinvents everything, even when it comes to cooking.

MAMMA’ RESTAURANT
The Mammà Restaurant can be found at 6 Via Serafina Madre, a stone’s throw from Capri’s famous Piazzetta. The Concierge at Punta Tragara will be delighted to reserve an exclusive table for hotel guests.

THE CHEF SALVATORE LA RAGIONE
Inside the kitchen at Mammà, Salvatore La Ragione, former student of Gennaro Esposito and today a respected chef in his own right, is also hard at work, hard enough to have earned his first Michelin star in 2015.

His dishes are simple yet complex, founded on a selection of only the best ingredients and a careful preparation with particular attention to the blend of flavors. The results are minor masterpieces of Mediterranean cuisine.

THE SPA
Gili Beauty & SPA is an Italian brand founded by Fabrizio Narducci in 2010 aimed at wellness in luxury Hotels. The continuous research and study in the field have developed exclusive services for face and body for women and man without forgetting the services of massages for psychophysical relaxation.

All this has been possible thanks to the choice and training of qualified therapist with experience in the field.

The comfort of feeling at home, surrounded by precious details has been the key philosophy of J.K. Place Capri, the luxury of discreet elegance and guest service has made this incredible hotel where well-being meets luxury-resort getaway with spectacular coastline experience and inspiration.

Echoing the style and the concept of a luxury house, the interior design are derived by the charm of the elements that can be found by the coastline: the light and the color of the sea, spacious where artful revival of the classical style enhanced by the sunny curtain and the luminous crispy white and navy furnishings, bringing the nautical elegant from the breath-taking and borderless Mediterranean sea to your room.

The J.K.Place is situated on the Island of Capri near the Amalfi Coast. The island is reachable either by hydrofoil, ferry or helicopter. Private boat transfers may also be easily arranged by the hotel’s concierge. The nearest international airport to Capri is Naples Capodichino.

THE HISTORY
Almost opposite the former Hotel Grotte Bleue, is located the JK Capri, once called Hotel Continental, managed by Giuseppe Maldacena 13th, who had established a company with the brother-in-law Antonio Cimino, seaman married with Maria Maldacena.

The first plant of the Hotel Continental was a private house named Villa Bovaro, which was built before 1878 and turned into a hotel before 1885, as also witnessed by a C.W.

Allers’s picture dated 1891, where the only legible word on the front of the building is “Hotel …”; at that time it belonged to Mario Canale, owner of several real estates all over the island.

The hotel address at the time was “via Bevaro 1” and the building consisted of two floors with 10 rooms on the ground floor and 8 rooms on the first floor. Since its opening under the Maldacena management before 1897 the hotel had accommodated in particular Anglo-Saxon guests.

Giuseppe Maldacena, manager of the hotel, had lived in England for many years and spoke English very well: that’s why the hotel worked also as a sort of tourist information point of the island.

In the 1899 guide the Hotel Continental was exalted as the only first-class hotel with a private path taking to the beach below which, according to the toponymy research carried out in the nineteenth century by Attilio Lembo, was called “Sotto ‘a lucanda”.

During the first period of their stay in Capri the “sisters” Kate (Kathrine) and Saidee Wolcott-Perry, protagonists of the novel Vestal Fire by Compton Mackenzie, lodged in this hotel, which was called “Odyssey” in the same novel.

The rich American girls arrived to Capri in 1897 and later on they had to find a house to settle here; at a very short distance from the hotel there was a small unfinished house and the girls immediately liked it. Then they purchased this house and turned it into one of the most beautiful neo-Moresque villas of the island, called Villa Torricella.

But, when the Wolcott-Perries wanted to move to their new house and take with them the furniture of their rooms at the Continental purchased at their expense, the hotel manager Giuseppe Maldacena didn’t agree with them and so a legal action was taken. But why did the Wolcott-Perries furnish the rooms of the Hotel Continental?

According to an advertising postcard of the time, “since February 1st 1897” the Continental, which was the only first-class hotel in Marina Grande, had been authorized to accept the first-class hotel coupons distributed by the Cook agency.

And this is a quite strange advertisement, which openly contradicts what you can deduce from the content of the documents regarding the legal action between the Wolcott-Perries, who arrived to Capri just in 1897, and the hotel manager Maldacena. According to the 1902-1907 guide the Hotel Continental had two managers: Giordini and Maldacena.

The good reputation of the hotel was still unchanged according to the 1910 guide as well, in which the Continental was defined as the most elegant hotel of Marina Grande, and this was also true thanks to the contributions given by the Wolcott-Perries! After the First World War the Hotel Continental was renamed Hotel Métropole.

The building was inherited by Florindo Canale and by his wife Luisa Viva and afterwards it passed to Maria Canale, who had managed the hotel with her husband Antonio Vaccaro since the ’30s.

As far as the accommodation facility of the Continental is concerned, in the period between 1903 and 1906 it consisted of 20 beds, while the Métropole, according to a guide dated 1929, had only 10 rooms.

In the years between 1932 and 1937 there were 10 rooms with 18-20 beds and one common bathroom only, between 1939 and 1940 the hotel had 15 beds, while in 1960 it consisted of 20 rooms.

In the late ’80s, Mr. Salvatore De Angelis, well known hotelier of the Island, during the renovation works carried out at the Hotel Métropole, which has been renamed Hotel Palatium since that period, found some important fragments and archaeological finds dating back to the Roman time.

In fact the building is located on some Roman cisterns and on the first stretch of a road taking to the harbour, always dating back to the Roman period, which lies just below the hotel.

Marina Grande is also a seaside resort with an ample beach. The houses lining the harbor still have the ancient structure typical of the fishermen of Capri; with a lower level reserved exclusively for boats.

MARINA PICCOLA
This little marina is one of the most popular places on the island, where you will find the “Scoglio delle Sirene” (Mermaid Reef) that, according to the theories of some historic scholars, was the place in which Homer’s terrible mermaids of his Odyssey were found.

THE FARAGLIONI
When we think of Capri, the first images that come to mind are of the Faraglioni, the three large stack formations of rock. These formations are over 100 meters high and rise from the sea just a few meters from the coast.

Each stack has its own name: the closest and still attached to the island is named Stella (star), the second, separated from the first by a stretch of sea, is named Mezzo (middle), and the third Faraglione goes by the name Fuori (outside) or Scopolo.

THE PIAZZETTA
In truth, this square is called Piazza Umberto I, but since the 1930’s it has been called “la piazzetta”, the little square.

As small as it is, it is the center of island social life, deserving of the nickname “the world’s living room”. It has always been the heart of Capri society, but at one time, it was simply the square where the fish market was held.

ANACAPRI
This is the place where you can still take peaceful walks along silent streets and squares colored by geraniums and bougainvillea. The pedestrian area is lively with small artisan workshops that cross the historic center of Anacapri.

BLUE GROTTO
Already known to the ancient Romans, it is thought that the Blue Grotto was a favorite place of the emperor Tiberius. The magic light that illuminates the rocky walls and the crystalline waters of this famous cave will leave you speechless; a spellbinding scenario that makes you feel suspended in the sky.

VILLA SAN MICHELE
The Swedish physician, Alex Munthe, wanted to build his island home in one of the most scenic spots of Anacapri. It stands out for its imaginative architecture with a succession of medieval mullioned windows that alternate with the classical motifs of Roman capitals.

Its walls frame an enviable collection of finds from the Roman, Etruscan and Egyptian eras collected during the scholar’s many travels and his permanence on the island of Capri.

THE CERTOSA
Situated just a few steps from the famous Piazzetta, the Certosa di San Giacomo is one of the most important historical buildings on the island. Built in 1371, it suffered extensive damage as a result of repeated pirate raids in the sixteenth century.

Restoration lasted until 1636 and, over the years, it has been home to a monastery, a military base, a hospital and a prison. Today, it is a charming location for cultural events.

VIA KRUPP
This road is named for the German industrialist, Friedrich Alfred Krupp, who, when docking his yacht in Marina Piccola to spend his holidays on the island, found it inconvenient to reach his home.

To make it easier for himself, he built this fabulous road, more than one hundred meters above the sea, to connect Marina Piccola to the center of Capri.

AUGUSTUS GARDEN
These gardens have their origin on the property of German steel industrialist Friedrich Alfred Krupp who, in the early twentieth century, bought this stretch of land to build his home. From then and up until 1918, the gardens carried the name of Krupp.

In 1918, the gardens were renamed the Augustus Gardens, name that has remained to the present day. From the Augustus Gardens, a stunning 180-degree panoramic view of the island of Capri can be enjoyed and, in fact, from there you can see Monte Solaro, the Marina Piccola bay, Via Krupp and the famous Faraglioni.

VILLA SAN MICHELE
Villa San Michele was born from the dream of a Swedish doctor and writer, searching for his corner in the world. A place where his home “was opened to the sun, the wind and the voices of the sea – like a Greek temple – and light, light, light everywhere!”.

He was looking for a place with an identity, that would cure his soul, because “soul needs more space than the body“. We will discover together the history of this fantastic place, of this wonderful work and the uniqueness of its architecture.

He was only 19 years old when Alex Munthe, Swedish doctor and writer, arrived for the first time in Capri. A journey that would completely change, transform and improve his life.

In the best seller “The Story of San Michele”, he tells how, climbing the 777 steps of the Scala Fenice, arriving in Capodimonte, he immediately made his decision: to build his own house there. He found the light he desired, the space for his soul, the place for his identity.

At the time, the land was owned by the well-known carpenter Maestro Vincenzo, who used the place as a home for his humble workshop, surrounded by spaces for vines and fruit trees. Last but not least, the historic medieval chapel, now in ruins.

Axel Munthe lived on Capri for more than 56 years: from the day he visited it for the first time, he was never able to leave the island: that’s how deep the bond between him and the island was.

Munthe was not an architect but, nevertheless, he gave life to one of the most famous villas in Europe: let’s discover its architecture together.

As we have already mentioned, Munth was not an architect by profession but, at the same time, he managed to create one of the most famous tourist attractions on the international scene. It was 1985 when he bought the land to build his dream house.

Many supported him with his designs, among them: the well-known painter Aristide Sartorio and many local manufacturers and builders.

How not to notice the typical features of Capri architecture that blend with the perfection of the domus of the Roman era: a combination of art, history and culture for a unique architecture!

“Inside the house reigns the contrast between black and white. In the loggia, the colors of the garden take over, along with the changing shades of the blue Mediterranean.”

It’s defined as the genesis of a masterpiece: from the original chapel in ruins (dedicated to St. Michael, hence the name of the villa), to a building hanging between the sea and the sky. The element that dominates the scene? The colonnade, with the sphinx looking towards the endless sea.

Purity, nature and elegance: three characteristics that make the garden of Villa San Michele the most beautiful in Italy. A path, a journey, an experience that begins with the wisteria of the pergola and continues towards the boulevard of cypresses. Each season has its own perfumes, its colors and its essences.

The garden was born as a space open to the wind, the light and the sea. Nature lovers will find in the garden of Villa San Michele many types of trees and plants: to discover them all, an updated and detailed list is available on the official website of the structure.

When you visit the garden you’ll feel in a heavenly universe, hung between the sea and the earth, between the sky and the infinite, between essence and nature, in its purest form.

But who takes care of such a wonder? Who dedicates body and soul to this magical place? Raffaele Scarpato, the gardener of Villa San Michele. Since 1988 Raffaele dedicates his art, his passion and his competence to the most famous garden in Italy.

And it’s thanks to his contribution, and that of his assistants, that Villa San Michele obtained, in 2014, the prestigious “Most Beautiful Private Park in Italy” award.

Axel Munthe shared his passion, his love, his interest for music, for nature and for animals with Queen Victoria of Sweden, who spent long periods in Capri.

In order to protect Capri’s migratory birds, which risked being exterminated by wild hunting, the well-known Swedish doctor and writer decided to buy the land formed by the Monte Barbarossa (Mount Barbarossa) in order to offer, donate and reserve a protected area for them.

Besides this area, Axel Munthe also decided to buy the mountain which shadows Villa San Michele. On top of the mountain, there is the much loved and millenary Castello Barbarossa (Barbarossa Castle), used during spring as an ornithological station, managed by the Ornithological Center of Bologna.

Art is dominant inside this precious villa: from Roman to Etruscan works, arriving to Egyptian ones, Villa San Michele has been hosting an important art collection for years!

Munthe chose these forms of art for their beauty, symbolic meaning and uniqueness: how not to mention the fabulous sphinx over 3200 years old. What can we find in this collection? Sculptures, bas-relief engravings, sarcophagi, architectural fragments and inscriptions, most from Rome and Naples.

What catches the eye, strikes the soul and conquers the mind is the perfect harmony that each work of art establishes with the architecture of the villa and the precious garden.

If you are a lover of art, nature and architecture, you absolutely must visit Villa San Michele. Here is all the main information about opening hours, tickets and details to contact the Villa.

THE PATH OF PIZZOLUNGO
During the walks to discover the most beautiful corners of the island of Capri, we have to stop our attention on Pizzolungo: a path a few kilometers long, from which you can admire the beauty, the wonders, the uniqueness of the island, in the name of the history and the tradition of Capri.

The first place to visit is the Arco Naturale, a wonder that dates back to the Paleolithic age. Continuing towards the stairs we will arrive at the second wonder: the cave of Matermania. A nymphaeum from the Roman era, whose origins have intrigued many historical scholars.

The third place of this wonderful journey is Villa Lysis, home of Count Fersen. Going down towards the sea, a breathtaking view from which it’s possible to admire the beauty of the three Faraglioni (stacks).

To get to the Pizzolungo Path, starting from the Piazzetta, you have to go on via Le Botteghe, via Croce and Matermania, arriving at the Arco Naturale. Three reasons why you should walk through the path of Pizzolungo

If you want to live an experience in the name of nature and the beauty it offers to us, if you want to immerse yourself in the rich and spectacular flora of the Mediterranean, if you want to enjoy the silence of an eternal and magical place, you must make this journey: arm yourself with comfortable shoes, water bottles and immerse yourself in this natural wonder.

BELVEDERE DI TRAGARA
For all the romantic souls out there, for all the people who love to be moved in front of the beauty of nature, for all those who are looking for a magical and timeless place, here is the Belvedere di Tragara. A breathtaking view, which captures the eye and conquers every sense of your body. The best time to visit it? On full moon nights or at sunset, to admire the beauty of Marina Piccola and the Faraglioni of Capri.

How do you get to the Belvedere di Tragara? You can go there by walking along Via Pizzolungo until you reach the wonderful panorama: during your walk you can also admire the beauty of many historic villas and appreciate the uniqueness of their architecture!

PUNTA CARENA LIGHTHOUSE
Punta Carena is the border between the sea and the sky, between the infinity and nature, between infinity and earth. In ancient times it was called Punta di Limmo, from the Latin word “limen”, which means border.

To build the wall behind the lighthouse were the British at the beginning of the 19th century, to protect, defend and shelter the island from possible attacks.

The lantern of the lighthouse, instead, was built in 1866, and is among the most beautiful and important of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Enough to say that it’s the second largest lighthouse in Italy, after the one in Genoa, for power and illumination.

To highlight and understand its uniqueness, it’s essential to retrace the history of its construction, which began in 1862. It was the period of the Bourbon kingdom of the two Sicilie when it was built and switched on for the first time 14 years later, precisely in 1876.

At the foot of the lighthouse, we find the beachfront. If we ask the inhabitants, lovers and visitors of Capri which is the most beautiful beach of the island, they answer “Faro di Punta Carena” (Punta Carena lighthouse).

Actually, this is not a real beach but a rocky bay, with crystal clear water, ideal for those who want to get away from the crowds that invade Marina Grande and enjoy moments of pure relaxation.

The best time to visit it? The sunset, when the sun’s rays reflect on the water of the sea creating a nuance of shades that hypnotize the eyes and involve every sense of the body.

If you want to have a romantic moment, if you want to enjoy moments of tranquility, if you want to be moved by a unique view, you must absolutely visit the lighthouse of Punta Carena.

THE BLUE GROTTO
One of the most beautiful wonders offered by nature, one of the most exciting and engaging passages, one of the most popular destinations for all tourists: the Grotta Azzurra captures both your eyes and your mind, while winning your soul over.

How can you not be enchanted by the rays of the sun that enlighten, guide and lead you through an extreme sensory experience, a journey to discover one of the most extraordinary beauties.

Grotta Azzurra has something magical, unique and highly engaging about it. Only those who have visited it at least once in their lives know what we are talking about. An experience that involves every sense of your body, that captures every part of you, transporting you into a completely natural universe.

To your eyes, heart and soul will arrive the purity of its blue color, enlightened by the rays of the sun that get through thanks to the underwater window in the entrance, shining on the crystal clear water.

Also, some small, nice and interesting silver-colored reflections, linked to the little air bubbles created on the external surface, embellish the scene, making it unique. The particular coloration is the result of an important phenomenon of light refraction, which elevates it to a natural wonder.

The cave has a width of 25 meters and a length of 60mt, with an entrance that’s less than a meter high: yes, that’s right, to enter you have to lie on the bottom of a very small boat, which slides inside the cave thanks to its small opening.

Once inside, you float immersed in a pleasant contrast between darkness and the light of the sun’s rays, between dark tones and reflections that make this water unique, so crystal clear to seem transparent.

Only a few attentive people manage to notice the elevated cavity which can be accessed through a small landing point, covered and protected by a Roman cement work. Many theories have been created about this cavity and we will examine them in depth in the next part, related to the history of the Grotta Azzurra.

A rocky cavity, at the bottom of a crystalline sea, pierced by the rays of the sun: how can we remain indifferent in front of that? It was 1826 when the writer Augusto Kopisch and the painter Ernesto Fries, during a vacation in Capri, revealed to the whole world the natural beauty of this place.

They then decided to call it the Grotta Azzurra (Blue Grotto, just for the characteristic coloring): since then, this wonder has never left them. It became the protagonist of their works, their drawings and their thoughts!

This place was known, loved and appreciated at the time of the Romans, who left, on its inside, a cement platform used as an internal landing, as well as archaeological remains of remarkable importance.

A statue of Poseidon and one portraying a triton, currently kept at the Museum of the Certosa di San Giacomo. Grotta Azzurra became the personal marine nymphaeum of the Emperor Tiberius.

MARINA PICCOLA
One of Capri’s most beautiful bays: Marina Piccola. Crystal clear sea, clean water and breathtaking views: what more could you ask for? Marina Piccola is in the southern part of the island, defended and protected by a steep rock wall.

For this reason, the water is always warm and the area is not very windy, the ideal environment for many visitors who, even in winter and autumn, lie down in search of sunlight and a quick dip to regenerate.

Marina Piccola was born as a small village of fishermen who spent most of their time there. A place reserved for a few up to 1880, when it was discovered by the famous German painter August Weber.

August’s story is very particular: for years he lived inside a cave because he didn’t have the economic possibility to buy a real house. He was a guest of Ciro Spadaro, whose son, Francesco, appears in many of his paintings, as he represented the archetype of the fisherman of Capri.

He married a local woman, began to work as a translator and created his own house in front of the beach of Marina Piccola, which became for him a great, enormous, fantastic source of inspiration.

Marina Piccola is located south of the island. To get there, follow these directions: from the Piazzetta, take the bus that leaves at the terminal, or walk down Via Roma, to the place called Due Golfi, and take the steps of Via Mulo. You’ll be there in a quarter of an hour!

If you plan to visit it, we suggest you to arrive in the morning, because the sun leaves very early (around 5 pm).

MARINA GRANDE
One of the most beautiful wonders that nature offers us, a unique and highly engaging landscape, a place suspended between sea and sky, with the frame of Capri.

Marina Grande is one of the most beautiful beaches in Italy, the first contact that everyone, arriving on the island, has of Capri. In fact we find, right here, the only port of the island, where hydrofoils and ferries land.

Despite its proximity to the port, the water is pure, crystal clear and extremely clean: characterized by a long line of pebbles, it’s the perfect place for those of you who want to enjoy moments of pure fun. How can you not love the clear sand, the magnificent coastline and the high promontories with green woods?

THE FARAGLIONI OF CAPRI
When we pronounce, hear, listen to the word Capri, we cannot but associate it with the magnificent image of the stacks (Faraglioni), the symbol of the whole island. Three rocky peaks that have characterized the history of Capri.

Let’s take a look at legend that has terrific ancient origins, finding its origin in the Odyssey written by Omero. The Greek poet identifies the stacks as the rocks thrown by Polyphemus against Ulysses.

Virgil, on the other hand, gives them a different identity: the stacks are the abode, the habitat, the home of mermaids: angelic with a diabolical soul. Through their song, they circled the sailors and then killed them.

Another legend, instead, consider the stacks as lighthouses of the island, real guardians who protected it from external attacks. The name Faraglioni derives, in fact, from the Greek word “pharos”, that indicates the lighthouse.

On their peak were turned on huge fires, especially during the night, in order to indicate the correct route to the helmsmen and to evidence eventual obstacles/dangers. At last, the Faraglioni are seen a symbol of fertility for all women: they illuminate their path and facilitate the fertile period.

Analyzing, instead, this natural wonder from a geological point of view, the stacks are “born” because of the karstic waters, which have formed these atypical rocks. Therefore, their shape is linked on both marine abrasion and atmospheric agents.

Do you know the names of the three stacks of Capri? Let’s discover them together: The one connected to the land is called Saetta. Pieces of an ancient Roman villa have been found on it. It’s the highest stacks of them all, with a height of 109 meters.

Stella is the most loved one by visitors, thanks to its natural gallery of 60 meters. Tourists usually stop in front of it to take selfies and immortalize unique moments of a spectacular journey.

Stella is the perfect setting for magical wedding proposals. Why Stella? In honor of the Madonna della Libera, known as Stella del Mare (Star of the Sea), for which the chapel on Mount Castiglione was built in 300.

The third stack is Scopolo, the outermost one, with a height of 104 meters. This stack is well known because it’s the ideal habitat of a rare specimen of lizard, the Podarcis sicula coerulea, characterized by a spectacular blue.

The color derives from the fact that this lizard is camouflaged with the sky and the sea, becoming of the same color. How was it discovered? Thanks to the intervention of some historical sailors, the only ones who were able to climb the stacks with their bare hands.

We also have a fourth stack, the “Monacone”. It takes its name from the monk seal, present in the waters of Capri until the early twentieth century. Due to its small size, it’s defined as a rock but it’s right to point out that it is a real stack.

Several historical studies identify the stack as the rest of the tomb of Masgaba: for those who do not know this, it’s the emperor Augustus’ architect.

You can visit the Faraglioni thanks to the many tours that are organized by tour companies. Going through the natural gallery of Stella, admiring the beauty of Saetta, discovering the details of Scopolo: a unique experience we suggest you do at least once in your life.

Sometimes the most beautiful spots are the hidden ones: a quiet lemon grove tucked behind a historic villa or a shimmering swimming pool overlooking the domes of the historic center. Or, for example, Casa Mariantonia: an unforgettable boutique hotel right in the center of Anacapri.

Casa Mariantonia was one of the first inns on the Island of Capri, and has more than a century of experience in welcoming travelers. We are located right in the center of Anacapri, just a few steps from all the island’s most beautiful sights and public transportation.

Our great-grandmother Mariantonia invented limoncello, perfect to sample directly beneath our lemon trees. Many only know the island of Capri for the Piazzetta, the Faraglioni rock formations, and the luxury shopping.

But there is “another Capri”, quieter and perhaps more authentic, where visitors can languidly stroll, discover small artisan workshops and neighborhood corner stores, stop for an espresso at the local cafè, and relax on the ceramic-tiled benches to watch the local children play soccer in the sun. This is Anacapri.

Casa Mariantonia is located on Anacapri’s main pedestrian street, right in the center of town and just steps from the bus stop for routes to all the island’s main sights.

ROOMS & SUITES
It’s always a pleasure to stay where there is a style that reflects the history and culture of a place, instead of the anonymous modern dècor of international hotels… where guests feel more like they are staying in a home than in a hotel.

La Zagara is Casa Mariantonia’s in-house restaurant and wine bar, two different venues and two different ways to sample the flavors of Capri. For lunch, drinks, or dinner: there’s always something delicious being served in the informal yet elegant La Zagara. If you’re on Capri, you’re on holiday…

At La Zagara restaurant, lunch and dinner is served beneath Casa Mariantonia’s citrus grove. The mediterranean flavors and scents are the essence of our menu and the chef creates our traditional cuisine reinterpreted in a modern way. Followed up, of course, by a glass of limoncello.

IN THE HEART OF ANACAPRI
Many only know the island of Capri for the Piazzetta, the Faraglioni rock formations, and the luxury shopping.

But there is “another Capri”, quieter and perhaps more authentic, where visitors can languidly stroll, discover small artisan workshops and neighborhood corner stores, stop for an espresso at the local cafè, and relax on the ceramic-tiled benches to watch the local children play soccer in the sun. This is Anacapri.

Casa Mariantonia is located on Anacapri’s main pedestrian street, right in the center of town and just steps from the bus stop for routes to all the island’s main sights.

EASY EXCURSIONS
Casa Mariantonia boasts an excellent location. By day, it’s easy to reach all the most famous sights on the Island of Capri: Villa San Michele and the chairlift for Mount Solaro are just steps away, and the bus stop for routes to the center of Capri, the Blue Grotto, Marina Grande, and the lighthouse is a short walk.

In the evening, it’s wonderful to stroll down Anacapri’s main street with its locals, exploring the excellent traditional restaurants and people-watching.

However, if you are looking for a glamorous night out in the clubs near Capri’s Piazzetta, no problem! The Capri-Anacapri bus runs until 4 a.m. in the summertime, and there are taxis available 24 hours a day.

NEARBY
At Casa Mariantonia, our island welcome extends to helping our guests organize a memorable stay on Capri, be is a short break or a long sojourn. We can suggest itineraries and sights both famous and unknown.

BOAT TOUR OF THE ISLAND
We always recommend a private boat tour of the Island of Capri to our guests, best if done in a traditional wooden “gozzo”. The most breathtaking views of Capri are doubtless by sea, and if you plan on spending a full day exploring the coast, we can suggests the best restaurants set directly along the waterfront.

THE BLUE GROTTO
The Blue Grotto can be visited during a stop on your boat tour of the island, or by going directly to the cave entrance and boarding one of the small wooden rowboats which carry visitors inside. From Casa Mariantonia, you can take the short walk to the cave entrance or go by bus.

VILLA SAN MICHELE
This was the residence commissioned by the Swedish physician and writer Axel Munthe and built on the most scenic point in Anacapri.

Today, the villa is a museum where visitors can view a turn of the century home with its collection of archaeological artifacts found on the island and one of the most beautiful gardens in all of Italy. It’s an easy walk from Casa Mariantonia.

MOUNT SOLARO
From atop the island’s highest peak, visitors enjoy a panoramic view over the Island of Capri, the Gulf of Naples, the Amalfi Coast, and the islands of Ischia and Procida.

You can reach the top comfortably seated on the chairlift which departs from Piazza della Vittoria (just a few meters from Casa Mariantonia) and, if descending on foot, stop by the Cetrella Hermitage on the way back down.

THE CHURCH OF SAN MICHELE
In this tiny church near Casa Mariantonia, the spectacular majolica floor depicting Adam and Eve’s expulsion from the Garden of Eden is a must-see.

THE PUNTA CARENA LIGHTHOUSE
Anacapri’s lighthouse is the second largest in Italy and towers over Punta Carena, one of the most popular spots for locals who want to take a dip in the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean. We recommend going at (or staying until) sunset and enjoying nature’s light show with a cocktail in hand.
