The Ultimate Capri Guide

 
 

“There was a magical timelessness to Capri, a special atmosphere, and a sense of history.”

Kitty Pilgrim

We fell in love with Capri instantly. The flowers, the azure water, and the various floral aromas.

Our first memory of our beloved Capri is the beauty of the Faraglioni: the three spurs of rock that rise up out of the sea, within meters of the island’s southern coast.

Over centuries now, Capri captivates its visitors with its sheer beauty. The island is the embodiment of the concept “dolce far niente”. In Capri you walk slowly, absorb the beauty, relax, and just leave everything else behind.

Beach Clubs

During the daytime we love to jump into the crystal clear water and enjoy a lunch by the sea at the following beach clubs:  

  • Le Ondine Beach Club: With white and light blue striped umbrellas, 200 sunbeds, and deck chairs, this new beach club is perfect for couples. Enjoy light cuisine at the lounge bar and restaurant while taking in expansive views of the Bay of Naples.

  • Bagni Tiberio: A beautiful ancient beach club where we can also strongly recommend its well-known restaurant.  

  • Il Riccio Beach Club: It is located between Capri town and Anacapri, right above the famous Grotta Azzura (Blue Grotta) - it is one of the island's most fashionable and exclusive beach clubs.

  • Torre Saracena: This beach club is located in Marina Piccola. A calmer beach club, perfect to just relax and to have an exquisite snack.

  • Da Giorgio al Cucciolo: Enjoy stunning, elevated views similar to Il Riccio but at more affordable rates. This family-owned gem offers a tranquil escape from the crowds, with priceless sunset vistas.

  • La Fonatelina: It is a few strokes away from the Faraglioni and easy to reach with the boat service from Marina Piccola

  • Lo Smeraldo: Located just half a kilometer from Le Ondine, Lo Smeraldo boasts crystal-clear waters and private stairs leading directly into the sea.

Restaurants

Let’s talk about restaurants:  

  • Da Paolino: If you love lemons as we do– Da Paolino is the right place for you. With its iconic lemon trees and great plates, it creates a truly unique atmosphere.

  • Da Gelsomina: A classic trattoria in Anacapri, run by the same family for generations, offering a breathtaking sunset view.

  • Ristorante Il Riccio: The perfect place to enjoy an amazing panorama and incredible seafood.

  • Aurora: We loved the food! Make sure you try their signature dish Pizza all’ acqua!

  • Anema e Core: The best place to party.

  • Da Tonino: Renowned for its expansive wine cellar housing over 2,000 bottles and dedication to locally sourced ingredients, this upscale restaurant earned a coveted spot in the 2023 Michelin Guide.

  • Le Grottelle: Situated near Arco Naturale, this restaurant is a 15-minute hike from the piazza, nestled in the island's natural beauty. Its simple setting and home-cooked meals provide a welcome escape from the island's glamour, making the stroll worthwhile.

To Do

If you like adventure and sight-seeing here are some suggestions:

  • Rent a boat: Go around the island to jump into the water, enjoy the sun and discover secret places.

  • Villa Lysis: The ancient house has one of the most beautiful terraces in Capri and hosts a museum with temporary exhibitions.

  • Anacapri: The town of Anacapri offers the possibility of discovering the island from a calmer point of view. For those who are hiking enthusiasts or fans of art and history -  Anacapri is ideal. For those hesitant, opt for the gondola ride up to Monte Solaro – it's the perfect opportunity to conquer any fear of heights while enjoying the stunning view.

  • Giardini di Augusto: Close to San Giacomo these beautifully maintained botanic gardens offer an incredible panorama on Via Krupp, one of Capri’s most famous roads.

We cannot wait to go back to Capri & we hope you enjoy the beauty of the island as much as we did!
