In the Historic Center of Capri

The historic center of Capri is located on the east side of the island, up in the hills.

With its winding alleys and charming houses featuring colorful facades, it is the island’s most charming and most touristic town.

The old town is especially lively both during the day and at night, with plenty of luxury shops, restaurants, and trendy bars.

It’s also the best place to stay in Capri to easily access other parts of the island.

I recommend this village for your stay in Capri:

• For its picturesque atmosphere
• To dine in the island’s best restaurants
• To enjoy the nightlife
• For shopping
• For a romantic getaway
• To explore the island

The historic center of Capri is the ideal place to discover:

• Piazza Umberto, the small main square of Capri offering a superb viewpoint
• Luxury brands stores, such as Gucci and Louis Vuitton. Indeed, Capri is known for its bling-bling vibe!
• The Gardens of Augustus: a botanical garden famous for its breathtaking (and vertiginous!) view over the sea
• The funicular, which will take you to the beach in just a few minutes

Here is my selection of the best hotels in the village of Capri

• Marunnella Suites: Beautiful suites located 10 minutes walk from Piazza Umberto. Comfortable rooms, some overlooking the sea or a private garden from 250€ per night. Strong Points: optional motorcycle rental, very friendly hosts, well connected.

In Anacapri village

Anacapri is the island’s second town. Also located on higher ground, it occupies the entire western part of the island.

This village has managed to maintain a more authentic atmosphere than its neighbor.

Of course, you’ll find shops and restaurants, but in the evening it becomes much quieter than the old town.

This makes it a very pleasant place to stay in Capri, especially for a family holiday, for example!

And you’ll be just a ten-minute bus ride from the historic center of Capri.

Near Anacapri, you shouldn’t miss:

• The Church of San Michele, famous for its magnificent majolica floor (a kind of ceramic)
• Villa San Michele, built by the writer Axel Munthe. Its gardens offer a beautiful view of Capri and the peninsula
• Mount Solaro: You can hike to the top (600m high) or take the chairlift from Anacapri
• The Blue Grotto: accessible only by boat, it’s one of the island’s must-see attractions
• The Path of Forts, which allows you to walk along part of the coast while passing by the ruins of old forts
• The Belvedere della Migliara, with its viewpoint over the lighthouse and the Faraglioni rocks
• Punta Carena Lighthouse, regarded as one of the best spots to watch the sunset

Where to stay in the village of Anacapri?

• Hotel Senaria: Located a 10-minute walk from the Church of San Michele. Accommodation with classic Mediterranean decorations from 220€ per night, breakfast included. Strong Points: quiet atmosphere, close to the bus, great attention. I highly recommend this hotel for a family stay in Capri without spending too much.

Near the Beach: In Marina Grande and Marina Piccola

If you’re more looking for accommodations near the beach in Capri, you have two options: Marina Grande and Marina Piccola.

Marina Grande is the resort area where you’ll find the port of Capri, to the north of the island (you will arrive there by ferry).

It hosts the biggest and most beautiful sandy beach on the island.

From Marina Grande, you can take the funicular to quickly get to the historic center of Capri or opt for a stunning boat tour to explore the coves and sea caves.

Finally, you can also enjoy the bars and restaurants located along the quay.

As the name suggests, Marina Piccola is smaller than Marina Grande. Located in the south of the island, it has a tiny pebble beach only accessible by stairs, offering a gorgeous view of the turquoise sea and Capri’s Faraglioni rocks.

The setting is truly beautiful, but given the size of the place, you should really get there early if you hope to lay down your towel!
