The turnkey stay
In Capri, the day belongs to the sea and the night to music: you leave the Faraglioni at sunset, dine late beneath the lemon trees, then wander down Via Sella Orta around midnight as Taverna Anema e Core comes alive, tambourines, Neapolitan songs and tables where everyone ends up on their feet. Everything happens on foot, no car required, between the port and the hanging gardens. An Italian-style summer stay, where elegance means never once glancing at the time.
Where to stay
- Grand Hotel Quisisana : A legendary palace hotel open since 1861, Via Camerelle 2: two pools, the QuisiBeauty spa, a mythical terrace. Less than a 3-minute walk from Taverna Anema e Core, the perfect address for coming home at 4 in the morning.
- Punta Tragara : A Manfredi Collection five-star, Via Tragara 57, set in a villa designed by Le Corbusier facing the Faraglioni. Two outdoor pools, a wellness area, and a private path leading down to La Fontelina.
Where to dine
- Mammà : One Michelin star, Via Madre Serafina 6, steps from the Piazzetta. Precise, generous Mediterranean cooking, blue ceramics and black-and-white photographs. Dinner at 9 pm, then a five-minute walk to the taverna.
- Ristorante Aurora : The island's oldest restaurant, Via Fuorlovado 18-22, a family institution for more than 130 years. Come for the famous pizza all'acqua, served with mozzarella and red peppers, and to watch all of Capri parade past the terrace.
