Capri Tiberio Palace

When you step into Capri Tiberio Palace, it leaves an impression. The boutique hotel greets you with quirky art, retro pieces and a ’50s and ’60s aesthetic. Take time to explore each corner — you could find pink and purple jellyfish dangling from above next to a staircase, and then near the pool, a white sculpted figure with goggles crouches to launch off a diving board in a confined space covered with wallpaper showcasing a diver.

There’s natural beauty as well. Walk the vine-covered paths to a verdant terrace garden (which provides many of the restaurant's ingredients) with a view of the Bay of Naples. The hotel’s grounds include a terrace with a swimming pool, a spa, Jacky Bar — a nightlife destination — and Terrazza Tiberio restaurant. But if you want out of the oasis, the property is a short stroll from the Piazzetta and conveniently near Capri town’s bevy of boutiques and the island’s most illustrious monuments and sites, including Villa Jovis (the 1st-century remains of emperor Tiberius’ palace) and Marina Piccola.
