The 12 Best Boutique Hotels in Capri

Punta Tragara

With a picturesque coastline, pretty villas, steep cliffs, and world-class restaurants it is hardly surprising that Capri is a haunt of the super-rich. However, it is accessible to all. Along with its many obvious lures, it also has some particularly good hotels — especially the ones set in grand traditional villas. Our hotel experts always favour a boutique property for their intimate feel, personalised service, unique design, and sense of place. With this in mind, our Hotel Gurus have compiled a collection of the best boutique hotels in Capri. Whether you want an atmospheric historic stay, a couples' escape, a five-star hotel or a boutique B&B there is plenty to choose from. So why not browse through our collection to start planning your next trip?

For a historic stay

Hotel La Minerva

  • Casa Raiola is an elegant 18th-century building on Capri, brimming with original features and true Italian charm. The two apartments boast opulent rooms featuring heavy antique furniture, chintz fabrics and french doors leading onto the terrace. Pick this for an authentic stay.
  • Casa Mariantonia is set in tranquil Anacapri and is a picture-perfect pink villa that is one of the oldest hotels on the island. The accommodation blends classical style with modern amenities, whilst there's also a beautiful garden with a pool in which to relax with a book. The restaurant is noteworthy too. A lovely hideaway.
  • Hotel La Minerva is a charming 18-room hotel which has been in the same family for three generations. Built in typical island style, with sweeping arches, cross-vaulted ceilings and cheerful majolica-tiled floors. Spread over five gently terraced floors inching towards the sea — this is a classic Capri stay.

For couples

JK Place Capri

  • JK Place Capri boasts artistic elegance straight from the pages of a coffee table book. Just steps from the ocean this chic hotel offers unbeatable views from its terrace. Stunning rooms with balconies in maritime creams, whites and blues and a fantastic swimming pool area. Utterly divine and undeniably romantic.
  • Punta Tragara is a little gem of a hotel in a breathtaking location — high up on the island's edge with dramatic views of the Faraglioni limestone pinnacles. An oasis of calm with luxurious, elegant rooms, sublime food served on candlelit verandas, and two saltwater pools. A great choice for honeymooners.

For the beach

Excelsior Parco

  • Art-Nouveau Excelsior Parco features eleven smart, typically Mediterranean rooms with spoiling sea views. Spend the day on the beach (a few minutes' walk away) before coming back to relax with a good book in the rooftop garden. A relaxing stay.

For luxury

La Scalinatella

  • Villa Marina hits all the marks with lavish rooms that are individually decorated and afford epic views over the Bay of Naples. A deluxe spa and excellent Mediterranean cuisine complete the picture on this luxe getaway.
  • La Scalinatella boasts an enviable hilltop location offering stunning views of Capri's coast. Its elegantly decorated rooms feature antique furnishings, large beds and private terraces. Plus you'll find two outdoor pools both with panoramic views and a Mediterranean restaurant. Utterly fab!
  • Miami glitz meets Capri chic at Capri Tiberio Palace. Stylish suites in elegant tones offer the last word in luxury and the terrace restaurant provides superb food and wonderful views. The piece de resistance is the spa, set over two floors.
  • The five-star Casa Morgano boasts traditionally elegant accommodation — think plenty of antiques, tiled flooring and large balconies. Tuck into splendid seafood dishes in the restaurant and spend your days exploring the island's lovely coast.

For a B&B

Caprisuite

  • Caprisuite is a gorgeous boutique B&B with just two rooms in the old town of Anacapri. Minimalism at its best, there's nothing clinical here. Whitewashed walls and exposed stonework are offset by fading frescoes and flashes of limoncello yellow. A private spot for couples or a group of four.
  • Hotel La Canasta is an immaculately kept and personally run B&B with great attention to detail. Attractively furnished, expect whitewashed walls and tiled floors. Spotless rooms ooze unfussy elegance with wrought iron beds, colourful pictures, and smart fabrics. Complete with a pool — this is a well-priced hideaway.
