The stunning Mediterranean Island of Capri has long been a favourite haunt of the European elite as well as those from further afield. With only the small Bay of Naples separating it from the Italian mainland, this encapsulating place offers an idyllic paradise – perfect for an island break if you’re touring the great cultural and historical cities of Italy.

One of the more famous attractions on Capri is the Grotta Azzurra or Blue Cave – one of the many caves created by the island’s distinctive limestone platform and so called because of the bizarre blue glow given to the waters inside by a unique and completely natural trick of the light.

A few steps from the Hotel Relais Maresca Capri is the cable-car that takes everybody from the shore up to the town of Capri. (The journey takes about 3 minutes). Arriving at Piazzetta Capri – the miniscule town square - visitors then have the freedom to roam the surprisingly vibrant town of Capri or go further afield to Anacapri, the island’s second town.

Tours of the nearby city of Naples, Mount Vesuvius, Pompeii, Ercolana and trips to the stunning Amalfi Coast are all available through the hotel as well as trips to the other islands in the vicinity such as Ischia, Ponza and Ventotene.

How to Get Here

For those wishing to push the boat out a little further (literally), we can organise a private boat to bring you to the island.

Making your own way

The Relais Maresca Hotel is about 50 metres from the Port of Capri, to the right of the cable car station at the top of a small flight of stairs. Ferries (around € 5 per person) and Hovercraft (around € 11 per person) from Napoli Molo Beverello Port, Napoli Mergellina Port and Sorrento Port.

The most practical way to reach the Ports of Naples or Sorrento from either the airport or any train station is by taxi, though it is strongly recommended that you ensure the meter is on and that it is a licensed taxi before you put your luggage in the car. If you have any doubts, take the taxi ID number.
