Here, on the edge of the town of Capri, barely fifteen minutes’ walk from the city center, is a villa clinging to the side of the cliff...
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A peaceful fifteen-minute walk along pedestrian paths connects the quiet headland to Capri town, passing the boutiques of Via Camerelle.
The rooms
Individually styled in bold palettes, accommodations open onto private terraces, while the Art Suite frames the Faraglioni from its soaking tub.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Two freshwater pools sit on tiered terraces, one heated with hydromassage jets overlooking the Faraglioni rocks.
The spa and gym
The Narducci wellness area is carved into the cliff face, and the fitness room overlooks the gardens.
Restaurant
Le Monzù
The Michelin-starred restaurant serves modern Campanian cuisine across an outdoor terrace and a cliff-facing dining room.
At the table
Under a flowering pergola by the pool, The Grill serves fresh pasta and seafood for lunch.
How it began
Emilio Errico Vismara commissioned the cliffside residence in 1920, later hosting Winston Churchill during wartime before the Manfredi family created the hotel.
