The 20 Best Hotels in Italy: 2023 Readers’ Choice Awards

"High and mighty, 1,000 feet above the Bay of Naples, a stunning location, this former Russian prince’s mansion has amazing views from anywhere on its well-maintained, and hand-in-hand grounds begging for a romantic stroll. It’s also a five-minute walk from Anacapri’s town center, where shops sell local pottery, made-to-measure sandals, and Capri’s limoncello liqueur, using the island’s lemons. All rooms have down duvets, linen sheets, marble bathrooms with double sinks, and private balconies, but for a sense of grandeur, get one of the five specialty suites—the Caesar has arches, columns, and a bust of Augustus himself. The bi-level infinity pool seems to drop into the sea. What a stunning sight." - Nicholas DeRenzo, CNT Editors
