We were warmly welcomed by Antonio—who was the most charming and hospitable person we encountered during our multi-city visit—with complimentary drinks at the dining area, which has a gorgeous view. While waiting for our room to be ready, we were surprised with a complimentary room upgrade that included a jacuzzi and a “partial sea view” (emphasis on “partial”, but we were grateful nonetheless, and enjoyed the jacuzzi after some poolside time). The room was very spacious (included a small sitting area with an upholstered loveseat) and clean and gave old world charm, not chain hotel vibe. The included breakfast was very nice, offering made-to-order eggs, crepes, french toast options with a generous buffet of pastries, fruit, yogurt and cereals. Antonio was on duty in the mornings as well as in the evening, always warmly greeting us and seemingly indefatigable. The pool area was beautiful with an amazing view of the sea and very nicely appointed. Pool towels were scratchy, but it was the end of the season, so maybe they were due for replacement. Location was great. A short walk from shopping and the main plaza, but tucked away from the group tours. Not ideal for anyone with accessibility issues, but as Americans—thanks to our laws — we are fortunate to have a different approach to disability access; overall, Italy is not great for people who have mobility challenges. In-room mini-fridge, safe, extra blanket were helpful amenities. Towels were decent quality-no washcloths were provided. Soaps, shampoos were unremarkable-did not give a luxury feel. Hair-drier was hardwired in the bathroom, making it harder for two people to get ready at the same time. WiFi was free but signal in our room was not good-kept dropping and very weak. Concierge was helpful and offered good advice on getting around. This was end of season, and a nearby hotel on Capri had already closed, so it was pretty quiet-hard to say what it is like during peak All in all, this was a truly lovely place to stay.Show More
