Hotel Flora Capri 4 stars

As they stroll along Via Federico Serena, a pretty little lane in the historic center of Capri, visitors catch the first glimpse of the graceful arches and sun-kissed terraces of Hotel Flora, one of the island's most-loved hotels.

Floors tiled with brightly colored majolica, high vaulted ceilings, and exquisite antiques characterize each and every one of Hotel Flora's spacious bedrooms and suites. Nearly all rooms have their own elegantly furnished terrace, looking out over the Charterhouse of San Giacomo and the sea.

Hotel Flora's architectural features and interior decoration have both been inspired by the island's traditional patrician residences and cleverly combined with the latest in modern technology so as to guarantee maximum comfort and charm.

The solarium terrace provides an oasis of peace and tranquility right in the heart of Capri, where guests while away the hours, relaxing in the sun or sipping one of Hotel Flora's delicious cocktails by the pool. From the terrace, a marvelous view of the Charterhouse of San Giacomo, the Fargalioni rocks, and the sparkling blue Mediterranean sea can be seen.

Just a few meters lie between Hotel Flora and the Gardens of Augustus, the Piazzetta of Capri, and the famous Via Camerelle, lined with exclusive boutiques and designer fashion stores. From Via Camerelle, a pleasant walk past sumptuous private villas and luxuriant gardens leads to the enchanting viewpoint of Tragara and the Faraglioni rocks.
