In the early 19th century, Capri was overflowing with great minds and talents. The Villa Marina Capri Hotel & Spa isn’t just a luxury hotel. It’s a love-letter to a place and a time.

It’s obvious that legacy is extremely important at The Villa Marina Hotel. Every guest room is individually inspired by and designed after someone who shaped the intellectual and cultural life of Capri in the 1900’s. Muses include Pablo Neruda’s poetry, Axel Munthe’s love of nature, and Kate Perry’s hospitality.

All 22 rooms and suites feature lavish furnishings and boast a luxurious bathroom with oversize tub or rain shower. Some suites open into the extensive Villa gardens or have their own private pool that overlooks the magnificent sea.

The Villa restaurant, Ziqù thrives at both authentic Mediterranean cooking and exciting contemporary cuisine. Stai, the wellness center features a Turkish bath, chromotherapy, hydromassage jets and more.

If you don’t want to sound like too much of a tourist, it’s pronounced cAHpri not caprEE. That said, the town has been attracting vacationers since the days of the Roman Empire, so they’re used to out-of-town guests.
