The luxury edit of Capri's chic hotels
John Castro A favourite Capri hotel since the Fifties, the five-star La Scalinatella is set behind a Moorish façade on Via Tragara, with two sea-facing swimming pools, a restaurant overlooking Marina Piccola and a terrace with yet more captivating views. The rooms and suites have been decorated with classic Caprese touches, such as hand-painted majolica tiles, vaulted ceilings, carved headboards, gilded frames and antique furniture.
Families and groups can book one of the two villas, which sleep four and six respectively. Once you’re ready to leave your island paradise (even if it's a while), the concierge can arrange boat trips around the island and across to the cliff-edge towns of the Amalfi Coast.
At the restaurant, there's no menu – instead, the head waiter will reel off that day's dishes, which will all be prepared with local, seasonal ingredients.
