Sea-view villas and apartments on the limestone island in the Bay of Naples, from Tragara to Anacapri
As featured in
Limestone, lemons and the island after the last boat leaves
Capri has had admirers for two thousand years. The emperor Tiberius ruled Rome from a clifftop palace here, Gracie Fields came to live on the island, and the boats from Naples and Sorrento still bring a stream of day visitors every morning. The great pleasure of staying is the evening, when most of them have sailed home and the Piazzetta has room for a quiet drink.
Our Capri collection runs to 60+ properties. There are sea-view apartments in the lanes of Capri town and around Tragara, villas above Marina Piccola and near Anacapri, larger houses with pools sleeping up to 16, and a few on the Sorrento coast across the water.
Below we cover where to stay on the island, how to get there and when to come.

Capri town and Tragara for the Piazzetta, the shops and the walk to the Faraglioni, Marina Piccola for swimming, Anacapri for a slower pace, and Sorrento across the bay.
The Piazzetta, the gardens and the road down to the sea
The funicular climbs from Marina Grande to the Piazzetta, the little square at the heart of Capri town where the island comes to sit, look and be looked at. From here the lanes lead past the boutiques of Via Camerelle to the Gardens of Augustus, which look down on Via Krupp, the hairpin footpath built for the German industrialist and reopened in 2023 after years of closure. It drops to Marina Piccola, the best place on the island for a swim.
Follow Via Tragara instead and you reach the belvedere over the Faraglioni, the three rock stacks that are the island's signature. Apartments around here put all of this within a short walk.

A Swedish doctor's villa and a chairlift to the summit
Anacapri sits higher up and feels more like a village than its smarter neighbour. Villa San Michele, built by the Swedish physician and writer Axel Munthe, has gardens and a sphinx gazing out over the bay. From the village a single-seat chairlift rises to the top of Monte Solaro, at 589 metres the highest point on the island, with views to Vesuvius and the Amalfi coast.
The Blue Grotto lies below Anacapri on the north-west shore. You go in by rowing boat, lying flat to clear the low entrance. Go early or late in the day, and only when the sea is calm.

Footpaths, ruins and a short crossing
Capri is a much better place for walking than its glossy reputation would suggest. The Pizzolungo path runs from Tragara to the Arco Naturale, a limestone arch, and passes the Grotta di Matermania and views of Villa Malaparte. Another climb takes you up Monte Tiberio to the ruins of Villa Jovis, the emperor's retreat.
The mainland is close too. Sorrento is a short hydrofoil ride away, and from there Pompeii, Positano and the Amalfi coast are all within reach for a day.

Ravioli, lemons and a season that ends in autumn
This is the island that gave its name to the insalata caprese and to torta caprese, a flourless cake of chocolate and almonds. Look out too for ravioli capresi, filled with local cheese and marjoram, and limoncello made from the island's lemons. Lunch at one of the beach restaurants, reached by boat, is a Capri tradition.
The season runs roughly from Easter to October. Many hotels and restaurants close over the winter. May, June and September are the loveliest months, and the feast of San Costanzo, the island's patron saint, falls on 14 May. Our concierge can arrange boat trips around the island, restaurant tables and transfers from Naples.

The right house, not the nearest one
Capri is steep and much of it is closed to cars, so we know which properties are an easy walk from the Piazzetta and which suit those who want peace above the crowds. With 60+ properties in Capri, we can usually find the house that suits you rather than the one that happens to be free. Search by size, pool, location and price, or tell us what you have in mind and we will put together a shortlist.
Book direct
You book with us directly, with no booking fees. Questions about access, parking, pool heating or how far it really is to the nearest beach go to people who can find out the answer.
A concierge who knows the territory
Boat trips around the island and to the Blue Grotto, beach restaurant reservations, luggage porters from the harbour, and hydrofoil, helicopter and private transfers from Naples. Our concierge team arranges all of it, leaving you free to decide which terrace to sit on.
A house for every kind of party
Couples, families with small children, three generations together or a crowd of friends celebrating a birthday: we match the house to the group, down to the number of bathrooms and whether the pool is fenced.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the best place to stay on Capri?
Capri town and Tragara put you closest to the Piazzetta, the restaurants and the walk to the Faraglioni, and Marina Piccola is best for swimming. Anacapri is quieter and higher, and convenient for Monte Solaro and the Blue Grotto.
How do I get to Capri?
Fly to Naples, then take a hydrofoil from Molo Beverello, which takes around 50 minutes. From Sorrento the crossing takes around 20 to 25 minutes. Our concierge can arrange transfers, or a helicopter for those in a hurry.
How do you visit the Blue Grotto?
Boats leave from Marina Grande, or you can get there by road from Anacapri. You then transfer to a small rowing boat and lie back to pass through the low entrance. It closes when the sea is rough, so it is worth staying flexible.
Can you arrange a private chef at a villa in Capri?
Yes. Our concierge can arrange a private chef for a single dinner or your whole stay, along with cookery lessons, guided visits, transfers and restaurant reservations.
How much does a luxury villa in Capri cost?
Across our 60+ villas in Capri, weekly rates typically range from £5,700 to £16,500, with the most affordable from around £3,900 a week and the largest estates well above. Prices depend on the size of the property, its location and the season, with July and August the most expensive. These are guide prices based on current listings; each property page shows its own rates for your dates.
When is the best time to visit Capri?
The season runs roughly from Easter to October. May, June and September are warm and less crowded than high summer, and many hotels and restaurants close in winter.
Are there villas in Capri for large groups?
Yes. Our Capri collection includes properties with up to 8 bedrooms. Tell us the size of your party and the occasion, and we will send a shortlist that suits it.
