"We would not have enjoyed our trip nearly as much if it wasn't for the person at the front desk.....she drew us a precise map of what to see and how to get there.. and best of all she spoke English"
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.
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!
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.

"The hotel is very good. The staff were very frendly and helpfull. Nothing to say except that the breakfast could be a little more rich. Apart from that, a must return place indeed. "

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.
