Capri, pearl of the Gulf of Naples, is the island synonymous with luxury, natural beauty, and international glamour. Although geographically part of the Campanian Archipelago, it is often associated by fame and history with the nearby Phlegraean Islands area. World-famous for its iconic Faraglioni sea stacks, the Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra), and the renowned Piazzetta, Capri is divided into the municipalities of Capri and Anacapri. Here, the elegance of historic hotels and boutique hotels merges with the breathtaking scenery overlooking the sea, the Roman imperial villas, and the lush Mediterranean gardens.
