Capri Travel Forum

I will be in Rome for 6 weeks this summer. I'm planning on spending a weekend in Capri, probably friday/saturday. Are there any relatively inexpensive and romantic places to stay preferably by the water that anyone can recommend?

Will be in Capri for about 4 hours via cruise ship. It is my husband's birthday and I'm looking for a special restaurant for lunch in Capri overlooking the sea. I would like something like Il San Pietro Hotel in Positano. Unfortunately, we do not have time to drive to Positano so I need to find a special place in Capri. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks!

How easy is it to rent a boat close to Capri for a day on the water ?

I have found two hotels in Capri that seem reasonable for my family of 4 with 2 teenagers. Both have good reviews, but I wonder if anyone has any experience with either. They are La Tosca and La Canasta. Thanks.

Is it better to go to one of the established beaches with a restaurant or is it possible to find a spot to swim and relax for the day without to much hassle. Thanks

I will be staying on Capri for 7 nights in September. I am planning on taking day trips to Sorrento, Naples, Positano, Amalfi, etc. I have looked around at some of the ferry/hydrofoil websites and it would seem that it is difficult to get BACK to
Capri in the evening time. Is this generally the case? It would seem that case with Positano-Capri in the evening. ANY help is appreciated.

As a person who always seems to have problems, I am a little concerned about your statement. Did I understand you correctly, they will transfer us in the middle of the water to a small boat? This does not seem very safe and for me...sounds like an accident waiting to happen! I can just see me falling into the water! How do they do this? I don't understand. I am not a very athletic person and I am large. Do you think this will be a problem?

Hi - going into Naples for one day on a cruise - would love to see Capri - can someone give me the details of how/what's best, etc.

Thanks much!

Hi we are thinking of going to CAPRI on our honeymoon in september this year, can anyone give me any information on the best area to stay and any good hotels at a fair price.thanks

2 Guys travelling to Italy for the 1st time.
We're staying in Rome 4 days in the Testaccio area.
2 Days in Naples at B & B 49Morelli,
4 days in Capri, and we have no idea where to stay.
5 days in Positano at Casa Cosenza.

We'd like a place in Capri town with a Pool as the beach is not practical from most of the posts. Alot of the Hotels have both Good & Bad reviews. Anyone been there recently and can recomend someplace nice and under 250 Euro a night in Capri? Should we stay somewhere in Ischia instead, and just visit Capri for the day?

Grazie,

Hello all,

I will be traveling to naples/capri in the begining of march, could anyone advise me as to what to expect weather wise? how is the climate around that time? is it cold, cool, warm? Thanks you all! :-)

Greetings all,

Does anybody know how to get from Rome to Capri without a car? Is there a train?

Thank you!

Ok, Now we know how to get there, Thank you all for the information.

Now where is the most inexpensive place to stay. 2 adults and 2 kids?

Thanks

We are staying in the Almafi Coast area Sorrent or Postiano? We will have a rental car and want to visit Capri. Should we plan for an over night stay? or just a day trip?

Can some one give me some advice on the Ferries vs hydrofoils. I looked up the info on the net and it seems I have 4 options to get there. After reading the info I wasn't sure on which to choose? The jetboats, the ferries, the hydrofoils, or the SNAV?

Any advice is appreciated

signed,

My husband and I will be visiting Capri soon. I plan to go shopping (and he promises to be a good sport!), and I would like to know what I should look for on Capri. What are they known for? What would be a rip-off? What is the best thing you bought on the island?

We have an 11:45am flight out of Naples. We are staying in Capri until that morning and we are wondering if it is too much to get from Capri to the Naples airport that morning? I'm hoping that it is not, but I welcome your suggestions!

We will be staying in Capri for four days. Do you have any recommendations on what to do while we are there?

Also, would you recommend any day trips to places likes Sorrento, Pompeii, Positano, etc.?

Thank you in advance!

We will take ferry from Naples to Capri. Where to take the boat to go to Blue Grotto ? The same Carpri port? And how much is it to take the boat?

We are coming from ROME and have 5 days for capri and positano.
which is better to go From Naples to positano then, capri or from Salerno to positano then capri. And Shall I spend 3 days in Positano and around or Capri?

hello! can anyone help with prices for day trips to capri from naples or sorrento?

My husband and I are going to Capri in the beginning of August. We both have been there before, but it's been awhile. We have 11 days to use up, only nine
if we include flying time. We would like to spend half of our time in Capri,
and the other half somewhere else. Any suggestions? We have to fly in and
out of the same airport due to us using travelmiles. I have been to Rome, but
my husband has not. Could do that and then go down to Capri. Or, we would really like to go to Prague. Does anybody know if flights go from Prague to Naples? How about Sicily? I'm just throwing things out there. Bottom line,
we really want Capri and one other great spot. Have to fly in and out of the same airport from the States, just need to find are own transportation within
Europe. Thanks, Cris
P.S. Any great hotels or B & B's in Capri that you would suggest?

Hello! I will be travelling in August to Rome for four days. I'd like, if possible, to spend one full day in Capri. I found on the Internet many organized excursions, departing from Rome. Does anyone has a suggestion for a good travel agency that offers one day trips to capri?
Thank you very much,

My husband & I are spending about 5 days in Rome in late Jun/early July and would like to visit Capri on a day trip from Rome. Is it better to take a 1-day guided tour to Capri or take the train, hydrofoil and go Capri on our own? Is it difficult to get around without knowing any italian? We are a young couple in our late twenties who can speak English and Mandarin/Chinese but no italian at all.
Is transportation expensive on Capri? We plan to visit the blue grotto while we are there... is it difficult to get access to the blue grotto if we are not with tour group?

Would appreciate some advice... Thanks !

we are visiting Capri and wish to see the Amalfi coast. If we take a boat from Capri to Amalfi we could then get the bus from Amalfi to Sorrento and the boat back to Capri in the evening. Is the bus trip worth doing in this direction or is it more scenic going from Sorrento to Amalfi? Should we spend a night in Sorrento or Positano or is Capri better than either of these?

Wanted to know if we could go from Rome to Capri and back to Rome in the same day? Thanks...

I have been searching for a 2day conducted tour from Naples to Capri and back, including transportations, hotel and sights. I would like to make a pre-booking insted of arranging everything ourselves after arrival. We are an elderly couple. Can anybody give a recommendation of some reliable tour operator. Thank you!

Dear VT Forum Readers,

My husband and I are going to Naples between late February and the begining of March, to visit Pompeii and Capri... I'm afraid about the weather, and I'm not sure if it is worth to visit the island, although I know that in sumer time its too crowded and its a bit uncomfortable.

Can we visit the "Grotta Azzura" or is it closed in winter?

Waiting for your answer....

Dear VT Forum Readers,

We're undecided about staying our (planned 2 nights) in either Capri or Anacapri.

We're not too big on shopping, or tourism . . . prefer quiet time, and island sights.

Anyone stay in Anacapri ? Hotel recomendations ?

We assume that it's quite easy to move around the island (to/from Anacapri) due to size, but comments are welcomed.
