Capri Palace

In the sedate commune of Anacapri, the Capri Palace is a deeply stylish and sleek boutique hotel. White furniture dominates, as does the art on show throughout, an ever-growing collection central to the hotel’s concept. There’s even a neighbouring space for artists in residence to create site-specific works.

There are 68 rooms, including 17 suites, some of which enjoy a private pool and garden, all decorated in an unmistakable Mediterranean style with influence from and odes to various modern artists. Most of the rooms and suites boast a beautiful view of the sea and the gulf of Naples, others are facing the green hill of Monte Solaro.

Diners are somewhat spoiled here. The Capri Palace’s flagship restaurant, L’Olivo, is only place on Capri to be awarded two Michelin stars, and offers modern interpretations of the region’s traditional flavours. Its Dolce Vite wine cellar holds around 10,000 bottles from around the world. Bistrot Ragù is a more casual affair with stunning sea view terrace.

Down at the exclusive il Riccio Beach Club, the ideal place to spend the day in the sun and explore the Blue Grotto, the Michelin star restaurant serves artfully prepared sea food on its sea side terrace and invites guests to indulge in a room dedicated to desserts, the Temptation Room. Back up at the Palace, the Bar deli Artisti is chic and laid back, the place to admire artwork and enjoy live music every night.

The Capri Palace is also home to the internationally acclaimed medical spa, the Capri Beauty Farm and specialising in beauty and medical treatments such as the famous ‘Leg School’, invented and patented by Professor Francesco Canonaco.

The charming centre of Anacapri is just steps away and the hotel also operates a small fleet of luxury speedboats for private transfers and tailored excursions.
