Hotel Il Girasole

We spent 2 nights at this hotel and really appreciated having the terrace right outside our room to come back to at the end of the day. A great place to watch the amazing sunsets. The room was very small, but we weren’t in it all that much, so it was ok. The breakfast was the best hotel breakfast we’ve had during our week’s stay in Italy. Great coffee, eggs, assorted cheeses, meats, fruit, yogurt etc. The staff were also very helpful. What we appreciated the most was getting picked up at the ferry port (no charge) as we arrived in the dark. It would have been very difficult to navigate our way to the room at night. We thought the location was great. Located away from the traffic noise of Anacapri, but only a ten minute walk into town where you would find restaurants and shopping. It’s also super close to the bus stop to catch the bus into Capri or to the start of the Path of Forts hiking trail. A fabulous hike along the coast! Another amazing service was that we were able to explore Capri town on our last day and the shuttle driver met us later in the day with our luggage. So handy to be able to leave the luggage at the hotel while we hiked around the area of Capri town on our last day.

You really need to bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. It is a charming old hotel and as such, the walls are paper thin and you can hear your neighbors very clearly. I was thankful that no one had their TV on. Also, it would be nice if the beds had a blanket in addition to the sheet. It only had the sheet and bed spread. We found a blanket in the cupboard, but it didn’t look that clean and so I wasn’t too keen on using it. We could have asked for another one, but I think having a blanket should be standard. Otherwise, a pretty good place to stay especially for the price.
