The hype
Guests universally worship the views and staff, calling it a 'bucket list' stay that ruins other hotels for you.
Caesar Augustus, Relais & Chateaux Hotel
$700-1800+/ noche
Reserva esto si You want the single best view on Capri without the crushing crowds of the main town.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- The 'cliff side' rooms offer unobstructed 1,000ft views over the Bay of Naples
- Zero-mile dining at La Terrazza di Lucullo using ingredients from the on-site organic garden
- Located in Anacapri, which feels like a private village compared to the tourist-clogged Capri town
Resumen rápido: It’s a serious splurge where you pay for the silence and the view, not for a party scene.
Reseñado por @Lindakhadivi: I stayed in the Garden Suite and I'm still recovering from that view. The room is classic Italian style, but walking out to my own massive private lawn overlooking the ocean was unreal. It felt like owning a villa on the cliff edge. Worth every penny.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
Reality check
A few travelers felt the 'classic' decor leaned slightly dated for the price point, and bad weather can leave you feeling stuck on the cliff.
- You prefer a book and a sunset over a nightclub and a velvet rope
- You are willing to trade beach access for panoramic height
- You appreciate old-school 'white glove' service where staff know your name
Limpieza y Mantenimiento
9.7
- Housekeeping: Impeccable twice-daily service with turndown.
- Bathroom hygiene: Spotless marble, high-end toiletries (Erbario Toscano), no mold issues reported.
- Maintenance: Excellent condition, though some 'classic' rooms feel older in style rather than worn.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, high-thread-count linens and plush towels.
- Odors & scents: Fresh sea breeze and lemon/herbal scents from the garden.

Antes de reservar
Es bueno saberlo
- The hotel offers a complimentary transfer from the Capri port (Marina Grande) to the hotel—arrange this in advance!
- The 'Phoenician Steps' nearby are a great hike DOWN to the port, but brutal to hike UP.
- Anacapri is significantly cooler and breezier than the port, so bring layers.
Qué llevar
- Long trousers for men (required for dinner at La Terrazza)
- Sturdy walking shoes (Anacapri is cobblestoned and hilly)
- Motion sickness meds if the winding bus ride from the port bothers you

Habitaciones a evitar
- Mountain View rooms (you come here for the sea)
- Rooms directly overlooking the main terrace if you are a light sleeper (piano noise)

Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
Is the hotel in Capri town?
No, it is in Anacapri, the upper town. It is quieter, higher up, and about a 10-15 minute taxi/bus ride from the main Piazzetta.
Is there a beach nearby?
Not directly. You are 1,000 feet up. You need to take a bus or taxi down to the beach clubs at the Faro or Marina Piccola.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, the double-level infinity pool is heated, making it usable even in the cooler shoulder seasons (April/October).
Can I bring my kids?
Likely not. The hotel generally enforces a 10+ or 14+ age policy depending on the season. It is very much an adult atmosphere.
How do I get there from the ferry?
The hotel provides a complimentary shuttle service from the Marina Grande port upon arrival. Do not pay for a taxi without checking with them first.
Is the restaurant worth the price?
Yes, for one romantic dinner. The 'zero-mile' ingredients from their garden are legit, but for other meals, try local spots in Anacapri.
Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
Ask to visit the 'Pensatoio' (Thinker's Spot), a private bench on a hidden terrace perfect for proposals or silence.
- ✨
You can walk through the hotel's organic kitchen garden and even pick ingredients for your dinner if you ask the chef.
- ✨
The sunset view from the hotel is better than the one at the crowded 'Faro' lighthouse—stay put and enjoy it with a spritz.
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The 'free' parking is a massive perk on car-hostile Capri if you happen to be driving (rare but possible).
💡The piano bar singer is talented but loud; if your balcony is above him, you are attending the concert whether you want to or not.
💡The 'Mountain View' rooms are actually quite lovely and look over the garden, but you will feel serious FOMO seeing the ocean view rooms.
💡The walk to the chairlift for Monte Solaro is literally 5 minutes away—go at 9am to beat the day-trippers.
💡Room service breakfast on your balcony is arguably better than the buffet because of the private view.
