Hotel Villa Krupp

Capri


Housed in the former residence of Russian author Maxim Gorky, this historic hotel oozes old-school charm, with floral tiling, fading antiques and heavy bedsteads. It also commands some fabulous views over the Giardini di Augusto and beyond to the Isole di Faraglioni. If your room doesn’t have the view (which costs extra), simply adjourn to the delightful terrace outside reception.
