Caesar Augustus Anacapri

Capri's Hotel Caesar Augustus is built high up on the cliff edge, from where a dramatic 300 meters sheer drop separates this splendid 5 star establishment from the sea below. The Caesar Augustus is member of the exclusive Hotel Chain Relais & Chateaux. From the bedrooms, restaurant and terraces, the most spectacular views across the whole of the Gulf of Naples can be admired. Guests might stay for minutes, if not hours, contemplating the most unique vision of Capri, the island of Ischia, and Mount Vesuvius.

Hotel Caesar Augustus' magnificently luxurious suites are all beautifully appointed in traditional island style and open out on to spacious private balconies from where to enjoy a view across the sea the likes of which no other hotel on the island of Capri can claim to possess. A view which so enchanted King Farouk of Egypt that he reserved the suite that now bears his name, from one year to the next.

In the heart of the hotel garden, amidst an abundant variety of fragrant Mediterranean plants and wonderfully exotic-looking flowers, lies the hotel's fabulous infinity swimming pool: designed so as to appear as if to merge directly in to the sea beyond. Guests dining at Hotel Caesar Augustus' "Terrazza di Lucullo" restaurant enjoy delicious Mediterranean cuisine, choosing from a selection of traditional regional dishes subtly transformed by way of an innovative contemporary twist. The lounge bar's cliff-edge terrace is the perfect place where to sip an aperitif, whilst admiring the sun set over the sea.

In the immediate vicinity of the hotel, lies Villa San Michele, one-time residence of the celebrated Swedish physician and author, Axel Munthe, and now a fascinating museum-house.
