Capri Palace Hotel-Spa Anacapri

The Capri Palace Hotel & Spa occupies a commanding position in Anacapri, the highest, and arguably the most exclusive, part of the island of Capri. From the terraces of this stylish 5 star luxury property, stunning views of the Bay of Naples and the island of Ischia can be admired. With its cool stone floors, graceful arches, sturdy columns and vaulted ceilings, the Capri Palace exudes the same timeless elegance found in the most sumptuous of 18th century Mediterranean palaces. The difference being that here the classic whites and golds have been combined with unique pieces from the owner's superb collection of contemporary artworks.

The Capri Palace has 79 rooms including 11 suites, 7 of which have their own private garden and heated plunge pool. The luxurious interiors span a number of styles, from classic Mediterranean to ultra contemporary. The largest of the hotel's Olympic suites, the 150 square meter penthouse, boasts a large swimming pool set in a panoramic Mediterranean roof garden. All rooms are equipped with direct telephone lines, air conditioning, in-room safe, minibar and plasma screen television. DVD players, Hi-Fis and I-Pods are standard features in Junior Suites and Suites. Wi-Fi is available in public areas.

The only Two Michelin Stars restaurant on the island of Capri, Capri Palace Hotel & Spa's "Olivo" has gained a world wide reputation for its excellent Mediterranean cuisine. The exquisitely presented dishes, result of the chef's unique interpretation of the region's age old culinary traditions, are served in a dining room furnished with materials designed exclusively for the Capri Palace by Loro Piana. The hotel's Wine Cellar, created in an old tavern where the inhabitants of Anacapri used to congregate, houses more than 12,000 bottles of the world's finest wines. For more casual dining, the hotel's poolside "Mosaico" restaurant offers a menu featuring an enticing selection of light meals and snacks.

Having collected a string of important accolades over the years, the Capri Beauty Farm has long been considered one of Europe's finest spa facilities: with a spa menu which includes the famous Leg School, (targeted treatments for legs), cardiovascular risk assessment, personalised weight loss and diet programmes, and a whole range of individual treatments - from aromatic coffee peeling to seaweed mud therapy.

Guests staying at the Capri Palace Hotel & Spa have the opportunity to hire one of the hotel's beautiful sailing craft. Two 50ft Baia motorboats and a stunning 65ft sailing boat are available for both leisurely excursions and private transfers.
