Hotel Caesar Augustus

Graced with classical arches and columns, Hotel Caesar Augustus is a vision of Roman splendour atop a cliff’s edge on the lush slopes of Mount Solaro – Capri‘s highest point. 

Located in the peaceful town of Anacapri off Italy‘s southern coast, you’re within easy reach of the island’s famed Blue Grotto, an ancient sea cave lit by an ethereal blue glow. Below the hotel, the Bay of Naples unfurls with a sweep of shimmering sapphire, stretching to Mount Vesuvius in the distance. The moment you enter Hotel Caesar Augustus, the mesmerising view steals your gaze. And that’s just the beginning. 

At the hotel’s restaurant, La Terrazza di Lucullo, it feels as if you’re floating over the Bay of Naples. Mount Vesuvius studs the horizon, framed by panoramic windows that capture the scenery in all its glory. Here, you can savour the freshest flavours from the bay. Just-caught fish is a highlight, as are dishes made from ingredients grown in the organic gardens on-site. 

Hotel Caesar Augustus’ wellness area is another spot that enchants with views of the sea. Breathe in the calming scent of the surrounding lavender bushes as you’re massaged in the open-air spa. Afterwards, sink into the two-level infinity pool and soak up the sweeping scenery of Capri.

Staying in the Vesuvio Suite, you’re granted an unobstructed sight of Mount Vesuvius. Slide open the glass doors to the private terrace that wraps around the suite. It’s the perfect spot to start your day with a cappuccino, while watching boats drift across the sparkling water ahead. The view continues to the elegant bathroom, where the imposing silhouette of the volcano takes centre stage.
