Capri Tiberio Palace
Capri, Italy
Vibe
Eclectic 1960s Italian glamour meets contemporary pop art, creating a breezy, high-spirited retreat steeped in retro Dolce Vita revelry.
“Retro Dolce Vita roost”
Giampiero Panepinto interiors feature hand-painted Caprese majolica floor tiles, vintage trunks, and dangling glass jellyfish installations.
Port greeting with luggage transfer to the funicular, attentive concierges, and marble bathrooms stocked with full-size amenities.
Jacky Bar features a white grand piano, Borsalino panama hats, and terrace seating for evening aperitivos.
Tucked along Via Croce, a short walk from the bustling cafes of Capri Town's central Piazzetta.
“Capri Tiberio Palace embodies the kind of effortless mod-Italian hospitality that takes its cues from the suave cool of sixties cinema.”
Rooms
Most rooms open onto private tiled balconies overlooking Mediterranean waters, decorated with vibrant hand-painted majolica floors and curated art pieces.
“The boutique hotel greets you with quirky art, retro pieces and a ’50s and ’60s aesthetic.”
Wellness
A heated indoor-outdoor pool extends to a sun deck, complemented by multisensory showers, a Finnish sauna, and a Turkish hammam.
“Rooms and suites evoke a sophisticated Caprese residence, with large, comfortable beds, TVs concealed in cabinets, shelves stocked with books…”
Backstory
Originally a modest 1917 guesthouse, the Morgano family transformed the villa into a luxury hotel in 1934, honoring Emperor Tiberius.
“The colorful, eclectic interiors evoke a sophisticated Caprese residence, with hand-painted tile floors decorating the terraces of most of the 46 rooms.”
Eat & drink
Jacky Bar pairs sunset cocktails with Cuban lounge flair, while Terrazza Tiberio serves Caprese pasta using herbs from the garden.
The neighborhood
Tucked along quiet Via Croce, the hotel sits a five-minute stroll from the bustling Piazzetta and the walking path to Villa Jovis.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
