Isle of Capri

The enchanted isle of Capri is still one of the most magical place in the Mediterranean. Only 6 miles long, it rises from the blue water of bay of Naples to the peak of Monte Solaro nearly 2000 feet above the sea. On this tiny isle over 800 species of plants and wild  flowers flourish and there are two delightful villages: elegant, exclusive Capri town with its smart boutiques in a picturesque traffic-free centre, and Anacapri on the higher slopes with spectacular views. Staying on Capri, it's easy to find your own quiet corner in the lovely lanes where day- trippers never venture. Our hotels all offer the use of swimming pools  in a peaceful setting at very good price for this most exclusive little island.
