Capri is the most famous island in the Gulf of Naples, close
to the Amalfi Coast, which is only 30 minutes away.
Admired by the great emperors, such as Augusto and Tiberio,
thanks to its pleasant climate and fascinating territory, the
island stretches for just over 10 sq.km. Mediterranean
temperatures favour the production of oil, the famous
limoncello, as well as the presence of extraordinary essences,
which make the island a place of beauty in all seasons. Capri
is rich in architectural monuments, left by those who chose it
as a permanent residence. From the Roman Villa Jovis,
passing through the Certosa, to the noble residences of the
last two hundred years: Villa Lysis and the writers’ villas,
such as the panoramic property of Munthe and the ingenius
residence belonging to Malaparte. The road built by Krupp is
the most well-known among those with a sea view on the
island. In Anacapri there are beautiful routes: nature is
uncontami-nated; silence and privacy are very important for
those who live there. The village preserves the most authentic
island spirit, with local handicrafts and quiet streets. From
here you can reach the Blue Grotto, a naturalistic miracle that
charms all visitors by its colour and magic. Other walks lead
to the ‘Small fortress route’ and to the chair-lift of Monte
Solaro. The beaches are beautiful, free or managed and
equipped, in Marina Grande as well as in Marina Piccola. A
lunch at Fontelina turns into a dip at the Faraglioni and a trip
to the Punta Carena lighthouse allows you to admire
incredible dives and the most beautiful sunset. ‘La Dolce
vita’, however, happens in Capri, where the trend-setters
meet at any time of day or night. The Piazzetta hosts the
glamour of the people, who, since the 50s with Sophia Loren,
have never stopped having fun there.
