As the name states, this is another fabulous property, built on top of a Roman villa and frequented by the great and regal. Guests have included Romantic poets Shelley and Byron and the German writer Goethe. A pool, gardens, and striking panoramas render it as unforgettable today as it was in Grand Tour times.

Housed in a building dating from 1700 and recently renovated, this hotel is at the foot of the acropolis of Terra Murata. Most rooms enjoy views of the picturesque fishing village.

The overall impression here is light-filled freshness, cool colours and serenity, yet it’s just a few steps away from all the high-life in the piazzetta and the shops and restaurants. A wonderful place for a Capri sojourn.

A palatial establishment that attracts well-heeled guests. It’s all done up in signature Amalfi Coast style, with vibrant majolica tiles and lots of antiques. The pool is small, but there is a gym, and the hotel restaurant is renowned.

With its clifftop setting and elegant interiors, this is an amazing find; fills up very fast, so book in advance. Guests enjoy a pleasant private beach and a good restaurant in a wonderful glass-walled setting with panoramas of the bay.

This tiny, old-fashioned pensione is located on the top floors of a 19thcentury building along the seafront. For sea views, choose rooms without a bathroom.

A charming, familyrun pensione with large, airy rooms, tiled floors and antique furniture.

Quaint and a real bargain along this pricey coast. You get the views, the elevator to the beach, and some great cooking all at pensione prices. Each room has a hair dryer, there are nonsmoking rooms upon request, free parking and good deals on half- or full-board plans.

This former convent has a unique position at one end of Amalfi, clinging to a cliff, with a fortified tower on the promontory that is now used for special events. The rooms are tiny but charming, and the pool is a big draw. Cooking courses also held here..
