Capri: Pure Luxury
Capri is more than just an island. It’s one of the Mediterranean’s most captivating jewels, where cobalt-blue waters, Roman history, and Italian sophistication come together. Even in ancient times, Capri enchanted the powerful: Emperor Augustus fell in love at first sight, and his successor, Tiberius, built 12 villas here while ruling the Roman Empire.
Discover Capri with VillaHotels
Every step on Capri reveals a new view, a new scent, a fresh glimpse of the sea. The island’s most iconic natural landmarks are the Faraglioni rocks – three majestic sea stacks that have become Capri’s symbol. One of the most breathtaking vantage points is from the Gardens of Augustus, a lush oasis of flowers, statues, and shaded paths overlooking Marina Piccola. It’s a moment that lingers in memory.
The island’s true magic, however, unfolds from the sea. For Villa Hotels guests, arrival can become a private motorboat journey, exploring hidden coves and the famous Blue Grotto, once Emperor Tiberius’ secret bathing spot. The shimmering azure water illuminates the cave from within – a spectacle no photograph can fully capture. Gliding along the cliffs by boat is both surreal and unforgettable.
The Essence of Capri – Dolce Vita and Slow Luxury
The Piazzetta is the island’s beating heart, where iconic cafés and sun-soaked terraces welcome visitors. Every gesture exudes style, every detail is curated – Capri lifestyle at its finest: linen dresses, straw hats, flat sandals, and sea-toned accessories. Understated, yet utterly sophisticated.
Local flavors elevate the experience: fresh seafood, handmade pasta, and zesty lemon desserts served on terraces with sea views, where every bite competes only with the scenery. From Caprese salad to limoncello and seafood platters, every taste enhances Capri’s irresistible charm.
For those who love movement, Capri offers stunning hikes. The winding Via Krupp or the summit of Monte Solaro reveal another side of the island – raw nature in perfect harmony with the view.
Carthusia – The Scent of Capri
No visit is complete without exploring the Carthusia perfume house. Capri’s legendary fragrances date back to 1380, when the prior of the Certosa di San Giacomo collected flowers to welcome a royal guest. The scented water became known as “Garofilium silvestre caprese” – Capri’s first perfume. Today, every Carthusia creation still captures the island’s essence: distilled from local flowers, sea breezes, and sunshine.
