Excelsior Parco Capri 4 stars

Situated halfway between the port of Marina Grande and the Piazzetta, Hotel Excelsior Parco occupies an impressive, Liberty style villa built to provide an elegant island residence for those artists and intellectuals who, in the early 20th century, came to Capri seeking both inspiration and pleasure.

The recent subject of an extensive restoration project, today's boutique hotel provides luxurious accommodation in just 11 bedrooms, offering the perfect combination of old world charm and contemporary comfort and technology.

Hotel Excelsor Parco offers impeccable service, showering guests with the kind of attention you world normally expect to receive only in the very finest of 5 star hotels. On their arrival at the port, guests are accompanied by chauffeur driven car to the hotel, where a welcome drink of their choice awaits them. Excelsior Parco's complimentary shuttle service remains at guests' disposal for the duration of their stay.

Almost all of the hotel's Liberty style bedrooms open out on to a sea view terrace, furnished so as to provide guests with their very own outdoor dining area, in which to enjoy a leisurely breakfast or a romantic candlelit dinner.

Excelsior Parco's bespoke concierge services have been designed to ensure holidaymakers experience the very best of Capri: from the albeit obligatory trip to the Grotta Azzurra to hands-on cooking classes with a local family. Those unwilling to leave the comfort and tranquility of the hotel, will no doubt while away the hours on the solarium terrace or in the garden, both of which have a Jacuzzi tub.
