Località Faraglioni - Capri

In the shadow of the Faraglioni, within steps of the crystal clear water lapping Capri's legendary sea stacks, there's a truly magical place: Fontelina.

One of the most beautiful beach clubs in the whole of Italy, Fontelina has been run with the same passion and enthusiasm for more than 50 years, by the Arcucci and Gargiulo families.

Book a day by the sea at Fontelina and you can expect to spend hours of blissful relaxation, bathing in the sun on one of the beach club's white linen mattresses, on the rocks, within millimeters of the sea!

To make your day at the foot of the Faraglioni even more unforgettable, you can lunch at Fontelina's highly acclaimed restaurant, savoring delicious local specialties prepared with the island's abundant fish and seafood.

The restaurant is one of the most popular on Capri and, especially if you're coming in the height of summer, you'll want to book your table as soon as you arrive on the island.

カプリの唯一無二のビーチクラブのレストラン

伝統的なビーチクラブのとても美味しい食事です。 地元のテニスコーチにもリコメンドされました。 オススメは恐らくフォンテリーナの名前がついた海鮮パスタですが、エビが食べられない私は日替わりのパスタ、ボッタルガ、ズッキーニのパスタあたりから選びます。お値段は高めです。 この点に関しては批判的なコメントも目立ちますが、ここは道路や上下水道のインフラの整った街中ではありません。ボートが徒歩しかアクセスできない切り立った崖の下なのです。その場所で、多数のメニューを揃え、清潔な麻のテーブルクロスとナプキン、涼し気なベネチアンガラスのコップ(カプリの街で90€で売ってました)で食事ができるのですから、当然の価格だです。 (水や料理の具材やゴミまでもボートで運んで維持しているのですから、街中の価格と違って当然です)

American paradise, not to fun for others to hear them complain all day

The atmosphere is nice but the food and the service was mediocre. It is a significant cost and they assign seats before you arrive - they seem to preference the Americans and those that have tantrums to get closer to the front. It’s definitely an American hot spot and they all want the best seat - provides some entertainment I guess. Very pricey with no inclusions. Highly recommend Arienzo beach club who is better value for money, very good food and they package their towels/beds/umbrellas.

Rookie mistake, didn’t check reviews in advance as my wife wanted to go . Ordered shrimp and spaghetti the shrimp were non existent. Way overpriced for poor dining experience, tourist Trap for sure. Added beach club. Unbelievably they charged extra for an umbrella and 24 euros for two towels. Chairs, not daybeds , we’re off the water in the back on concrete. Very hot , no view , never to return. Save your money and go to torre Saraceno

Map

You can reach Fontelina by private boat or on foot, via the little path which starts just beneath the Punta Tragara viewing point. For the return journey, Fontelina provides a shuttle boat from the beach club to Marina Piccola.

From Marina Piccola the center of Capri is just a short bus or taxi ride away.
