From the ferry
The hotel is a 5-minute walk from the port. Their shuttle runs free of charge from 8am to 10pm to and from the port. On arrival at the port, guests are asked to call the hotel so they can send the shuttle over: +39 081 837 9671
Stay+
A restored Art Nouveau villa above Marina Grande, with a rooftop jacuzzi and sea-facing terraces.
The staff can arrange restaurants, taxis, and boat tours — ask them first for everything.
Dine+
Thurs Sept 17, 8pm
Two Michelin stars, the only one on Capri, at Jumeirah Capri Palace in Anacapri. Chef Andrea Migliaccio, Mediterranean cuisine, tasting or à la carte. About 10 minutes by taxi. Dress code: smart casual.
Other evenings
Ask Villa Excelsior Parco to recommend and book. Worth asking about Da Paolino, dinner under lemon trees and an iconic Capri experience.
Our own recommendation. A family place near the Villa Damecuta ruins with a wood-fired oven, sea views, and honest traditional Capri cooking (the chicken from the wood oven is a highlight). Best for lunch on the Anacapri day. Free shuttle from Anacapri center if you call 15 minutes ahead.
Do+
- Private boat tour around the island (arrange via the hotel). Full day; the single best Capri experience — the Faraglioni rocks, sea caves, and the Blue Grotto from the water.
- Monte Solaro chairlift — 12 minutes from Anacapri center up to 589m, views over the Bay of Naples, Ischia, and the Amalfi Coast
- Via Krupp & Gardens of Augustus — a cliff path above Marina Piccola, free; the gardens have the best Faraglioni views (small fee)
- Sunset aperitivo at the Piazzetta — Capri's social heartbeat at golden hour, Campari spritz in hand
- An afternoon in Anacapri — Villa San Michele and its gardens, the Villa Damecuta ruins. Da Gelsomina for lunch — see Dine above.
