Villa Ceselle Anacapri 3 stars

Up until 2010, when the building was completely restored and transformed into a guest house, Villa Ceselle was a typical island home, set in pretty gardens overlooking the sea. Situated just a few steps away from the historic center of Anacapri, the town which rests at the foot of Monte Solaro, Hotel Villa Ceselle continues to offer the intimacy and exclusivity of an elegant private residence.

Sunny and welcoming, Villa Ceselle has conserved all its traditional architectural features, from the stone-clad entrance path to the barrel vaulted ceilings and panoramic terraces. The hotel's light-filled bedrooms are tastefully decorated in soothing shades of cream and oatmeal. The well-appointed bathrooms are wonderfully spacious. Superior rooms have terraces overlooking the sea and the islands of the Bay of Naples. An independent annex', complete with kitchen, provides ideal accommodation for those traveling with children.

Guests staying at Hotel Villa Ceselle enjoy the relaxing pace of life, typical of the sleepy little town of Anacapri, starting the day with a leisurely breakfast served in the sunny breakfast room, before heading off to explore the historic center or the beautiful beaches close to the Grotta Azzurra and the lighthouse. The hotel is owned by the Maresca family, proprietors of the Da Gelsomina restaurant, one of the islands most loved eateries, which is located within steps of the breathtakingly beautiful Migliera viewing point. Hotel guests can reach Da Gelsomina which also has a panoramic swimming pool and snack bar by complimentary shuttle bus.
