Best hotels in Capri

Built into the hillside of Anacapri, this is the kind of place that makes you want to don your biggest sunglasses and order an Aperol spritz, pronto. Think white-washed walls that could tell a thousand tales of Hollywood starlets, contemporary artwork that wouldn't look out of place in a gallery, and views stretching across the glittering Med to Ischia and Procida that will stop you in your tracks. The whole place positively oozes Italian elegance, from the gold chandeliers and antique wooden furniture to the mosaicked pool that winks at you through peekaboo windows as you float through reception.

Positioned above the Marina Grand, this boutique gem designed by Michele Bonan delivers sophisticated coastal living with a refreshingly homely touch. The crisp white walls provide the perfect canvas for bold blues, sleek monochrome tiles, and tasteful modern artwork. Design-conscious travelers will appreciate the wealth of coffee table books scattered throughout, while those seeking relaxation can revel in the large swimming pool or book a Sisley treatment at the spa. With a select number of rooms and staff who pride themselves on attentive yet unobtrusive service, you'll find yourself slipping into island time with remarkable ease. This is five-star luxury that feels like coming home – if your home happened to have breath-taking Mediterranean views from every angle.

Just a stone's throw from the legendary Piazzetta and the chic boutiques of Via Camerelle lies this eclectic gem that oozes effortless style. The moment you step inside, you're transported into a world where La Dolce Vita meets contemporary design with a wink to the past. Multi-hued rooms (no two the same) showcase dusty Mediterranean blues, saffron yellows and coral splashes that echo the island's natural palette. Globetrotting bon vivants flock here for the intimate yet privileged position, savoring the perfect blend of Caprese tradition and worldly sophistication.
