"The decor in the bedrooms was beautiful and simple, we slept wonderfully well!"
If, for you, part of the pleasure of traveling is having the opportunity to get to know new places and the people who live there, and you'd rather experience the intimacy of a family home than the glitz and glamour of a luxury hotel, you'll love Giardino dell'Arte: a charming, owner-run guest house on the Island of Capri.
Within minutes of the historic center of Anacapri, Giardino dell'Arte is located in the area of the town called La Vigna, on land which, as the name suggests, was once almost completely carpeted with vineyards. From each of the guest house's terraces, sweeping views over the green countryside and as far as the piercing blue sea surrounding the Island of Capri can be seen.
Giardino dell'Arte has just five individually furnished bedrooms, each named after one of the typically Mediterranean plants growing in the gardens surrounding the guest house. All rooms have their own outdoor area and are equipped with air conditioning, flat screen television, and mini bar.
For great part of the year, breakfast is served al fresco on the panoramic, porticoed terrace. On warm summer evenings, holidaymakers might easily be found lingering until late in the garden, an idyllic spot in which to relax after a day spent exploring Capri's fascinating museums and churches or sailing around the island's dramatically beautiful coastline.

Giardino dell'Arte is located close to the center of Anacapri, in the area known as "La Vigna". The Church of San Michele, the chairlift to Monte Solaro, and Anacapri's Villa San Michele and Casa Rossa museums all lie within easy walking distance of the guest house.
Easily reached by taxi or bus, Giardino dell'Arte is situated just 20 meters away from the nearest bus stop, where guests can catch buses to the Grotta Azzurra, Capri, the Piazzetta and all of the island's principal beaches.
