That Capri has been a magnet for writers, artists and hedonists for centuries makes perfect sense the second you come ashore. There’s a mercurial quality to its landscapes, with Roman ruins and pastel-hued 19th century architecture coalescing against a backdrop of rugged limestone cliffs and deep azure waters.
It’s as though the island has been caught in time – you’d hardly be surprised to bump into Jackie O shopping for jewellery and ornate sandals. Or you might glimpse a vision of Brigitte Bardot unfurling on the steps of the terracotta Casa Malaparte, the modernist marvel where she filmed her 1963 film Contempt, and where, more recently, Simon Porte Jacquemus staged his 15th anniversary fashion show.
Of course, there’s much more to do than just day-dream about the island’s stylish history. Between the iconic Blue Grotto, where boats take visitors into an other-wordly cavern, the beautiful Gardens of Augustus with their ocean views, and the picturesque old town, where locals float around personifying that quintessential, effortless Italian glamour, a stay in Capri is guaranteed to be one filled with charm and wonder.
