Hotel Punta Tragara

Originally a private villa designed by Le Corbusier, this dreamy hotel has a breathtaking location overlooking the Faraglioni rock formations.

• The dramatic cliffside location and the spectacular views of the Faraglioni sea stacks
• The arbor-covered, romantic Monzù restaurant, which serves classic Capri and Neapolitan dishes
• La Pergola bar, a perfect spot for sipping a sunset cocktail

This luxurious hotel has an intriguing history—formerly a private villa designed by Le Corbusier and home to the American command during WWII (even hosting secret wartime meetings between Eisenhower and Churchill), Punta Tragara was purchased by Count Manfredi in 1968 and opened as a hotel in 1973. Still run by the Manfredi family, the hotel today carries on the tradition of elegance and hospitality.

The 44 lovely rooms are spacious, bright and stylish yet down to earth. Rooms are decorated using the colors of Capri—lemon yellows, Mediterranean blues, cliffside grays and whites—and contain sculpture and contemporary art as well as antiques and archaeological artifacts. The large marble bathrooms add to the luxe vibe and each room has a balcony or terrace.

Monzù restaurant offers Capri favorites and traditional Neapolitan dishes, which diners can enjoy along with the wonderful sea views on the panoramic veranda. The Unica Spa has four treatment rooms, each with its own outside relaxation area, and there are two pools on the property.

The view, however, is the true star of this hotel. A genuine feast for the eyes awaits guests, whether gazing upon the iconic Faraglioni rocks, the beautiful Marina Piccola or the spectacular sunsets.

Anyone who appreciates spectacular views will fall in love with Punta Tragara, but couples will especially enjoy the romantic environment.
