Capri is located south of Naples, less than two miles from the Sorrento pensinsula. This small island is about four miles long and one-two miles wide, covering an area of about four square miles. Between Mount Tiberio to the east and Mount Solaro to the west is the small town of Capri; Anacapri is located to the west of Mount Solaro.

Villa Alex is located in Anacapri, halfway between the village and the famous Blue Grotto. Capri and the harbor are just 15 minutes by car or bus. The house is located on the road to the Blue Grotto, just three kilometers (less than two miles) from the center of Anacapri (with restaurants, spa, tennis, shopping, taxis) and even less to the Blue Grotto beach.

Many fascinating day trips and excursions are possible from here. Capri is the perfect base from which to explore the artistic, historic and natural treasures located on the other islands of the Bay of Naples (Ischia and Procida) and on the mainland (Sorrento, Pompei, Positano).

This historic villa has been recently restored to create a harmonious blend between classic good taste and modern creature comforts. Beautiful paintings and prints adorn the walls, filling each room with a sense of warmth, character and distinction. Walled gardens are full of fragrant Mediterranean flowers, and there are breathtaking views of the blue sea. A large terrace is surrounded by olive trees and decorated with potted trees and statuary. A circular pool is just off to the side of the house.

Motorbikes can be hired on the island, but not cars. You can bring a car onto the island, but we recommend using taxis and bus to get around.
