Condé Nast Traveler, Gold List 2008

Perched along the edge of a cliff, 1,000 feet above the bay of Naples, is one of Capri’s most storied hotels: the Caesar Augustus. The views from this intimate, 60-room hotel stretch from the Sorrentine Peninsula across the azure bay to the far-away island of Ischia.

A half-century ago, King Farouk of Egypt was so captivated by the Hotel Caesar Augustus and its spectacular vistas that he booked its most luxurious suite for an entire year. Today, the Suite Farouk is one of four expansive suites, each individually furnished and completely unique, with its  own spacious terrace. The hotel’s 56 guest rooms and junior suites also offer private balconies or terraces.

 

Quiet niches abound for relaxation, from comfortable sofas in the sitting areas to secluded gardens for a pampering massage surrounded by vibrant blooms.  Or stretch out on a sun lounger by the sparkling outdoor pool and revel in the panoramic views.

Just beyond the hotel, guests can stroll the quaint streets of Anacapri, ride the Mount Solaro chairlift to the island’s highest point, or enjoy endless watersports in the bay below. Excursions can be arranged to Capri’s most famous sites, from the spectacular Grotta Azzurra to Imperial Roman ruins.

Back at the Caesar Augustus, enjoy a cocktail at the Terrace Lounge Bar followed by a memorable dinner at the hotel’s Lucullo Terrace, where  exceptional local cuisine is accompanied by the island’s finest views.
