That little Mediterranean villa in Anacapri...

  1. A peaceful island home, in Anacapri
  2. The view of the Bay of Naples, from your room
  3. Soaking up the Mediterranean sun, on the terrace

Anacapri's Alla Bussola is no ordinary 3 star. Close to the town's picturesque historic center, this small, family-run hotel represents a marvelous mixture of Mediterranean, neoclassical and traditional island architecture.

Italian island villa

A charming composition of graceful arches, pretty pergolas, shady porticoes and decorative pieces in Pompeian red and hand painted majolica greets holidaymakers as they arrive at Hotel Alla Bussola.

From the hotel's light-filled bedrooms, almost all of which have a private terrace, guests are offered a spectacular view of the Bay of Naples. An even more panoramic view awaits those making their way up to the roof top solarium.

Want to go home with an authentic Mediterranean tan? A few hours on Alla Bussola's panoramic roof top solarium terrace should do the trick!

Those in-the-know choose Anacapri

A wonderfully peaceful retreat, Alla Bussola lies within steps of the historic center of Anacapri, considered by many to be the most authentic and unspoiled corner of the Island of Capri.

Capri connoisseurs often choose to stay in quiet and exclusive Anacapri knowing that, should they feel the need to dip into the island's glitzy social whirl, the celebrity-packed Piazzetta is only a short bus or taxi ride away.

This is Italy. The hotel is magnificently appointed with beautiful details. And they are constantly making upgrades, and adding to the beauty that is already there. But it's the warmth of the people that made staying here the ideal. It's not stodgy courtesy. It is care that you get the chance to see the beauty of the island, and the generosity of their nature. It's wonderfully located that you feel like you are part of the community. And everyone around the hotel is welcoming and lovely. Close enough to get everywhere you want to go. But it was magical to return to the hotel for an impromptu picnic on the patio, watching the sunset over the sea. Bar-none, the nicest people we met in Italy own this charming secret of a hotel.

I love the Hotel Bussola

Our stay at Hotel Bussola was fantastic. I first stayed here in 2001 when it was Bussola di Hermes and much smaller. I brought my family back here in April on our trip to Capri and of course we would stay here and no where else because Rita had made my first trip so amazing. Rita's energy and care for her hotel and all the guests has not changed in 24 years but the hotel has blossomed. The beautiful pool area and deck, the wonderful patio with the louvers, the statues, the gorgeous tile, and of course the well-appointed rooms are all amazing. And yes, they serve a delightful breakfast. All of this and yet no haughty, hoity, attitude like you would get at most hotels. Rita and Christian can give you great advice on travel on the island, sights to see, and places to go. There is a small grocery store just a minutes walk up the road for any picnic items or sundries you may want. The Hotel is conveniently located in a quieter, less busy area just minutes from the main tourist area and its shops, restaurants, bus stops, and attractions, which makes it even nicer. The Hotel Bussola is as close to home as you can get while travelling. Every time I come back to Anacapri, I will only stay here. Capri is a place for positivity and that is what you will take away from your warm stay with Rita and Christian.

Hotel con proprietari gentilissimi

Esperienza indescrivibile ! Siamo saliti in bus a piazza vittoria ad Anacapri. Da lì la navetta del hotel ci ha portato in hotel, che si trova un po‘ fuori. La struttura è piccola e molto bella, raggiungibile a piedi in 15 min dal centro di Anacapri. Una vero e propria sorpresa era però la gentilezza della proprietaria e di suo marito che ci hanno forniti non solo consigli e indicazioni utili, ma ci hanno accolti come vecchi amici a casa loro. Consiglio a tutti di soggiornare li

Lontanissimo dal.centro molto scomodo, l.hotel si trova nei vicoli e di sera sei solo che cammini. Lontano dalla fermata del bus, i taxi non arrivano perché la.strada è stretta direi molto.scomodo. Per il resto personale gentile e cortese, stanze pulite e non sono male ,tranne il bagno molto piccolo. Colazione perfetta.

Map

Immersed in green gardens, Hotel Alla Bussola is situated in a particularly peaceful area of Anacapri, within easy reach of the historic center.

Just a short walk separates the hotel from the pedestrianised town center and a great number of the island's most popular tourist attractions such as the Villa of Axel Munthe, the Church of San Michele, and the Monte Solaro Chair lift.

The Piazzetta of Capri, the Grotta Azzurra, the Punta Carena Lighthouse and the beaches of Marina Grande and Marina Piccola are all no more than a 15 minute bus journey away.
