Set in Anacapri on the stunning island of Capri, this hotel is a masterclass in luxurious living, with Michelin-starred cuisine, contemporary artwork and an award-winning medical spa. The low-lying whitewashed design, arches, and columns honour the heritage of the area and call to mind the elegance of an Italian villa. This elegance continues throughout, from the two Michelin-starred Mediterranean cuisine of L’Olivo to Bistro Ragu with its views over the dazzling Gulf of Naples, and the cliffside exclusivity of Il Riccio Restaurant & Beach Club. The spa is particularly well-regarded for leg treatments, though those looking for indulgent scrubs, wraps and facials certainly won’t be disappointed.
The 68 rooms and suites are split across a range of categories, each with its own individual style from the neutral, calming tones and classical elegance of the Classic room to the pared-back minimalism and contemporary art of the Suites with Private Pool & Garden. So whether unwinding in your room, taking a dip in the pool, dining on fresh seafood at the beach club or exploring the sights of Capri, this is contemporary seaside chic at its finest.
