Hotel Caesar Augustus, Via G. Orlandi 4, 80071 Anacapri(Capri) / Italy.
Opposite the Sorrento peninsula, only 5 kilometres from Punta Campanella, lies the isle of Capri, one of the most fascinating places in the Province of Naples and the whole of Italy. The Roman Emperors used the complete Gulf on Naples as playground: From Ischia to Procida to Naples and down the Sorrentine Peninsula to the isle of Capri. So per example Emperor Tiberius moved the reign of his empire to Capri.
The island is divided into two districts of Capri and Anacapri and its landscape is mostly mountainous, with two massifs: Mount Solaro to the west and Mount Tiberio, to the east. 65 fascinating grottoes, including the outstanding Blue Grotto, are penetrating the jagged and steep coastline which is flanked by enthralling rocks, above all the famous Faraglioni, today the symbol of Capri.
The first-class Caesar Augustus Hotel, is a perfect example of a cliff-top building with aspects the architecture of the anciant Roman empire yet it is fully equipped with 21st century amenities. Being under new management this comfortable hotel has been renovated recently. From there, as from an eagle's nest, you can admire the whole Bay of Naples. The breathtaking panorama is including the islands of Capri and Ischia, Sorrento and Mount Vesuvius. That's for sure the reason Capri is celebrated by the well-known novelist Axel Munthe, whose retreat, Villa San Michele, is not far from Hotel Caesar Augustus. Relax whilst enjoy a drink at the bar with the Gulf of Naples glittering above you, select from the exquisite vintages the cellar is offering, order a light delicious meal from room service, or have a stroll in the flower scenting gardens.
