Capri Tiberio Palace

The Best Hotels on Capri

"Far enough from the Piazzetta to feel removed from the crowds yet close enough to pop up for a café or an aperitivo, the Tiberio Palace with its glamorous, dolce vita vibe is as fresh as ever after a recent makeover by Milanese designer Gianpiero Panepinto. The fun, whacky, cozy interiors burst with color—turquoise blue, bright purple, sunflower yellow, magenta—with vintage pieces from the 1950s and ’60s plus an eclectic clutter of vintage travel memorabilia gathered from across the globe filling the rooms. The best of the 54 bedrooms and suites have sea-facing terraces, several of them huge. Gourmet restaurant La Terrazza Tiberio serves up locally-rooted dishes such as spaghetti with sea urchins and yellow tomatoes and local lamb with minted zucchinis or you can opt for pizza and bubbles at the 1950s inspired Jacky Bar (complete with white baby grand piano) where the mixologists will whip up a spicy paloma or the signature Dolce Vita (white vermouth with maraschino and citrus juice). The two-level spa includes a fabulous indoor-outdoor pool."

"Right in the center of town, Capri Tiberio Palace mixes la dolce vita glamour with a globe-trotting sensibility that’s equal parts quirky and elegant. Wanderlust-inducing knickknacks such as globes, vintage trunks, and an eclectic collection of art stud the public spaces, andbookshelves are stocked with coffee-table tomes from the publisher Taschen. A white baby grand provides the soundtrack for aperitivo hour at the Jacky Bar, where wicker poufs, striped blue-and-white banquettes, and Panama hats repurposed as wall decor signal vacation vibes; things are slightly more reserved at the terrace restaurant, a formal space whose brightly colored dishes (think seared scallops with almond sauce and beef tartare with chestnut cream as well as kosher fare) are rivaled only by the panoramic views of the island’s craggy peaks coast and azure sea. And the indoor-outdoor swimming pool, though small, is a savior in the summer heat."

Capri Tiberio Palace

"On one of Capri’s quieter backstreets, away from the day-trippers but only a five-minute walk from the Piazzetta, the 46-room Capri Tiberio Palace capitalizes on its Mediterranean views. Light-filled, one-of-a-kind interiors meld comfort with humor and style. Bright hand-glazed local ceramic tiles and one-off vintage pieces draw from the island's rich design coffers, while patterned textiles and geometric wallpapers provide a bright, modern touch. Fans of vintage kitsch will want to book the Pan Am Suite, a (tastefully done) shrine to the glamour that was once air travel. A feature you might not expect? An on-site kosher restaurant serving up Mediterranean dishes and wines from Israel."
