Capri Palace Hotel & Spa
Getting there
- Planes The nearest airport is Naples, which is served by British Airways, BMI, EasyJet and Alitalia. You can hire a car, take the airport shuttle bus, or pick up a taxi from the airport to Naples harbour (a taxi will cost around €20), then hop on the hydrofoil to Capri. It takes about 40 minutes to get to the island; let the hotel know your estimated time of arrival in advance, and you’ll be met on the quayside with a chauffered car to the hotel.
- Trains Naples Central railway station (in Piazza Garibaldi) is well-connected to the rest of Italy: there are regular trains to Sorrento, Palermo, Pompeii and Salerno as well as the more distant Rome and Florence.
- Automobiles It’s not easy to drive on Capri. Only hydrofoils (passenger ferries) leave Naples’ Molo Beverello port, so if you want to take your car to the island, you’ll have to take the fast ferry from Calata Porta di Massa instead (linked to Beverello by shuttle bus). And Capri itself is closed to non-resident traffic for almost seven months of the year, during high season (from the Easter weekend to November). If you do decide to drive, leave your car in one of the secure 24-hour car parks near Naples’ ports. Take the A1 (Milan–Naples) if you’re coming from northern Italy; use the A3 (Naples–Reggio de Calabria) if you’re travelling from the south, or the A14 (Naples–Canosa) from Puglia in the east.
- Others Hire one of the hotel’s two 15-metre Baia motor boats or its 20-metre yacht to explore the Amalfi waters. And for the pinnacle of aerial indulgence, it’s even possible to take a helicopter to and from Naples Airport (the hotel is happy to arrange a transfer, and there’s a helipad only 10 minutes’ drive away).
