In more recent centuries, the island has inspired countless artists and writers enchanted with it’s lush and dramatic natural beauty. A professional driver will pick you up from your accommodation, accompanied by a private English-speaking tour escort, and drive you South to the port of Naples. This 3-hour drive from Rome to Naples, will highlight the beauty of the Italian countryside with charming landscapes and fascinating medieval villages. Once in the port, you will catch a fast hydrofoil that will take you to the island of Capri in 45 minutes.

The Piazzetta in Anacapri is a small, charming square that serves as the beating heart of the town. Unlike the glamorous main square of Capri, this spot feels more intimate and authentic. Surrounded by cafés, artisan shops, and the simple elegance of whitewashed buildings, it offers a relaxed atmosphere where locals and visitors alike can pause, enjoy a coffee, and soak in the everyday rhythm of island life. It is the perfect place to experience the quieter, more genuine spirit of Capri.

Mount Solaro rises above Anacapri as the island’s highest peak, offering breathtaking views over the Gulf of Naples, the Amalfi Coast, and the Faraglioni rocks. The most scenic way to reach the summit is by chairlift from Piazza della Vittoria in Anacapri, a peaceful 12-minute ride that glides silently above gardens and terraces. At the top, visitors find walking trails, a café, and wide panoramic terraces where the whole island stretches out beneath them. It is one of Capri’s most unforgettable vantage points, combining tranquility with spectacular scenery.
