Hotel Villa Brunella - Capri

A five-star hillside hotel on Via Tragara in Capri with an outdoor pool, a rooftop restaurant called L'Agave and views over the Faraglioni and the marina.

Why people love it

• A family-run welcome. Guests describe the Ruggiero family's hospitality, and one couple has spent summer holidays here for almost 20 years. Another guest has stayed since the early 1980s.
• Views from rooms and pool. Junior suites with a private balcony over the sea and cliffs are praised, and so is the view from the pool. One guest describes a junior suite with a patio, garden view and walk-in closet.
• Pool and bar staff. Demraj at the bar and the pool and breakfast staff are named in recent reviews as friendly.
• Food. L'Agave gets praise for its view and food, and one guest calls the evening cuisine superb.
• A walk to town. A guest in August 2026 says shops, the square and restaurants are about 15 minutes away on foot.

Why they come back

"We have been visiting Capri for over 20 years, and for the last 15 years we have stayed here at Villa Brunella."

The worst thing guests say

In the 22 newest reviews, from May to September 2026, the lowest rating is 4 stars, from August 2026. That guest found the room spacious but not recently refurbished, and the breakfast fine but nothing special. Older low ratings: in July 2024 a guest gave 2 stars after paying 880 euros for a larger room with a view and finding the hotel outdated, and in July 2023 a guest gave 1 star because two suites on the lowest floor were very damp with a strong smell.

Insider tips

• Ask for a junior suite with a private balcony if the sea view matters to you.
• Plan on a walk of around 15 minutes to the shops and square.
• Book L'Agave ahead if you want a table for the view.
