Best villa experience in Capri
September 2026 - Villa Due Marine is easily one of the best villas we have ever stayed at. The art and amazing accommodations in the villa along with the amazing views in all directions make this a favorite place to go.
To make it even more special was Nadia was such an incredibly helpful and a pleasant host, it made our stay unforgettable. This is definitely the place to stay if you come to Capri.

Exceptional stay at Villa Due Marine
June 2026 - Our recent stay at Villa Due Marine was spectacular! When we arrived it was sparkling clean, very bright and cheerful with breathtaking views of both marinas and everything in between! At night the lights from Capri were captivating including the lights that lined the Phoenician steps directly across from the villa on the mountain side.
We slept very comfortably, enjoyed morning coffee and the early mornings on the terrace. The artwork throughout the villa was amazing including the beautiful rustic ceiling lanterns that captivated us long before we arrived, we saw them in the photos on the site. We were so happy to have a detailed explanation of the origins of many of the pieces we admired including those gorgeous lanterns that we were so sure were Hebrew, but are not!
Thank you to the owner for the thoughtful descriptions and history of many of the villa’s pieces, we really loved all of it. We had a fun time trying to guess where the owner might actually be from or where they might live when not in Capri based on all of the artwork.
We appreciated the coffee maker, the iron, ironing board and the washer. Although we tried not to use it much, the AC was very efficient. The many flights of stairs leading to the villa were concerning at first but we are athletic and in great shape in our 60’s so this actually turned out to be a great workout for us a few times a day, we have honestly missed them.
Last but not least, Nadia [the caretaker], a wonderful host, hardworking and available to help at any time of day or night. She greeted us at the bell tower in the piazza upon our arrival, arranged porters to handle our luggage at check in and check out, which was beyond the most helpful task of all. She walked with us all the way to and from the villa and even helped carry some of our carry-on luggage!
She checked in with us several times throughout our stay to make sure we were doing okay and to ask if we needed anything. Nadia also made many recommendations for restaurants which we gladly accepted. Every recommendation was exceptional!
She spoke beautiful English and her spelling and grammar were spot on in her texts. She is lovely, hardworking and truly enjoys what she does. We are very grateful to her. We had an exceptional vacation in Capri and at Villa Due Marine. Tutti Grazie ‘ Summer In Italy ‘ , the owner of Villa Due Marine and of course Nadia! Thank you for everything!
Our experience with Summer In Italy was outstanding. You were very informative and you streamlined everything for us. We couldn’t ask for more.
Travel tips
- There is a convenient market, Blu Capri I believe it’s called, just off the corridor and a short distance from the piazza. They sell great wine, snacks, water. Just enough to make things comfortable at the villa.
- Carry a foldable cloth satchel with you at all times. It’ll come in very handy especially for a quick stop at the market on your way up to the villa.
- If you want a day at a beach club that’s exceptional go to Lido Del Faro in Anacapri. Take a taxi from the port, it’s the only way to do it comfortably and quickly. The views are wonderful and the service impeccable. Giuseppe was our waiter all day and he was just so sweet and professional.
- Also in Anacapri, take the chairlift, it’s amazing. Have lunch at Sciue Sciue (shway shway- hurry hurry) and order pizza, it’s divine, the best pizza we’ve ever had.
- Make sure you see as much as you can, don’t just hit the high-end shops, go out to the Natural arch and the faraglioni, stop for lunch at Le Grottelle, order the melon, prosciutto and burrata as an appetizer and a beautiful bottle of Rosé, you won’t be sorry.
- Hike up to Villa Lysis, the views are dreamlike.
- The Via Krupp is one tough walk down to Marina Piccola, don’t try to walk back up. Hop the bus to go back.
- Also, there is a fantastic little place to have coffee or just about anything in the Marina Grande port. It’s called Cafe Augusto, we loved it. Come off the funicular and hang an immediate right, it’s about 4 shops down, sit at a table or get a caffe to go. Their pastries are sinful and the caffe Americano delicious.
- They are one of the only places that serves eggs, pancakes and waffles for breakfast. These guys work hard and have a good time doing it. Apparently the sushi is the best! We went there every morning, we miss it.
- One last thing, just an opinion, no matter what you’ve heard or have researched about visiting Italy, it is not ok to not tip. Some restaurants do add a very small service fee to your bill but regardless leave something in cash. Pay your taxis in cash and add a tip, tip everyone that provides a service like your porters and waiters. Honestly, we have never had restaurant service as good as what we experienced in Capri, Positano or Amalfi, everyone was wonderfully accommodating and professional. Carry euros and tip those who deserve it.

Amazing property with helpful hosts
June 2026 - Amazing property! The hosts were also very helpful in planning transportation to and from the apartment.
I highly recommend this property and will be staying there again the next time we are in Capri.

Stunning terrace with spectacular view
June 2026 - The accommodation has a beautiful rooftop terrace with a spectacular view. The decor is exceptional and positively gives off a museum-like feeling.
Communication with Summer In Italy and Nadia [the caretaker] was flawless; they were always reliable, courteous, and helpful. As long as you don't mind climbing a few stairs, we can wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation.
It is among the best apartments we have ever booked worldwide.

Fabulous place with magical location
June 2025 - What a fabulous place!! We were 2 couples and the location was magical (once you got up all the stairs😃) but so worth it!! Excellent location, well appointed rental!
If you are looking for the most magical trip book this place!
Nadia [the caretaker] our contact was excellent!!!! Answered all my questions and was always available when needed!
Capri will always hold a spot in my heart!

Nadia [the caretaker] was also amazing in meeting us and checking us out with some great local recommendations!
The stairs are something... :).
We found on VRBO and then booked on Summer in Italy. I was unaware of this company prior to the trip but will use in the future!

Beautiful villa in Paradise
May 2025 - Yes Capri is beautiful and an absolute gem to visit, but what made our visit extra fabulous was calling Villa Due Marine home for 2 weeks. Perched near the top of a cliff that overlooks Marina Grande, Capri Town, Monte Solaro and almost Marina Piccola the location and views were magnificent!
Being able to walk just about everywhere of interest made this Villa location very useful. Groceries, dining of every type, beautiful walks and of course incredible shopping are right down the steps of this Villa.
We anticipated eating out, but honestly, once you discover all the little shops that have amazing fresh produce, meats, baked goods and everything else a chef could imagine, we took advantage of the Villa's wonderful kitchen and incredible deck for 90% of our meals. It was fantastic! The kitchen has everything necessary to cook anything you would at home.
The Villa itself is very well maintained and furnished with amazing and unique treasures and artifacts that give the feel of a 5 star penthouse. The Summer in Italy crew were beyond great and went above and beyond to make our stay and experience extra special and flawless. Special thanks to Nadia!
We are avid travelers and were super impressed with the Villa, the location and the management and would recommend Villa Due Marine 100%. The only thing that could complicate a stay is the fact that because this Villa is literally perched on a cliff there are many steps to navigate before you get blown away by this incredible place. We actually began to enjoy the steps because we knew what was waiting at the top. Paradise!!

Our experience was wonderful. Thank You
Travel tips
- Visit Anacapri for sure
- The hike on east side of the island which I can't remember the name of now, that was fabulous, starting at the Arco Naturale and keep going.
- You have to tour around the island, just amazing!

Stunning views and nicely appointed villa
October 2023 - We enjoyed the villa very much. The views are stunning and the outdoor terrace allows guests to enjoy a glass of wine and/or meals as it is furnished with a comfortable sectional and a beautiful dining table.
The villa itself is very nicely appointed. The owners provided every possible amenity to make their guests comfortable. We appreciated the filtered water among the many additional amenities.
Nadia [the property manager] was so kind and helpful. She met us as we arrived and helped us to the apartment. She responded to our texts in a timely fashion. She is a gem!
The Summer In Italy staff went above and beyond! We appreciated the information not only about reaching the villa, but also a bit of information about what to expect. Quite funny that people can expect things to be exactly like they are in their country... so that was interesting. We love Italy as it is! Thanks to Luca who emailed me and checked in. Very organized operation. I will recommend Summer in Italy... actually already did to a visitor from LA! We look forward to returning.
Travel tips
- There is a market, a bread shop and a butcher shop nearby. We enjoyed buying our food and wine and enjoying it on the terrace.
- We enjoyed the Rooftop bar at Luna hotel where the views are amazing.
- We enjoyed a lovely lunch in a garden setting at La Zagara in Anacapri thanks to Nadia's list of what to do in Capri.

What makes this apartment a superstar is the terrace with THE MOST AMAZING VIEWS down to the sea on BOTH sides of the island!
October 2022 - Amazing property -- well appointed, well maintained, with the most spectacular views from the terrace! We loved every minute of our stay here. It's perfectly situated near the piazzetta - close enough to be convenient, but on a side pedestrian street so it's very quiet and removed from business of Capri.
Even though we were there in October, the A/C was definitely a plus during the warmest part of the day. All the appliances are modern and quite state of the art (faucet that provides cold distilled and sparkling water, ice machine that makes ice quickly, retractable terrace awning, convection stove top).
The apartment is furnished in a very intriguing manner -- very interesting paintings, sculptures, figurines, furniture. Things were collected from around the world and in all honesty, I wish I knew more about when and why and how they were acquired! A little bit like a museum (in a good way!). The bathrooms are on the small side (as is typical of Italy), but very clean and practical. I appreciated there being shower dispensers with body wash, shampoo, and conditioner (which is hard to find in Europe and my long hair needs it!!).
The apartment felt well thought-out for guests. It was also very very nice to have some welcome / starter food and beverage items in the apartment so we didn't have to find a grocery store immediately upon arrival. Just another one of the touches that made this apartment a truly wonderful place to stay for a week. In fact I joked to my husband... I'm staying!
But what makes this apartment a superstar is the terrace with THE MOST AMAZING VIEWS down to the sea on BOTH sides of the island! I left the curtains open in our bedroom and the living room so I saw that view first thing when I woke up. We sat outside with our coffee watching the sun rise slowly move across the island, we sat outside with our aperitivos and watched the sky change colors as the sun set behind Mount Solaro, and we sat outside in the evening after dinner when the island was quite and sparkled with lights. Just writing this takes me back.
I would go back in a heart beat and you will love this apartment!
One thing I want to mention though -- it is indeed 160 steps up to the apartment! I am a big walker so I quasi-loved having to tackle these steps each day (helped work off last night's pasta and prepare for current day's pasta). But if you have any mobility issues, it would be a big challenge.
The property manager (Nadia) was excellent. She helped us plan our arrival including where to find the baggage porters, then met us at the Capri Funicular exit, and introduced us to the property. During our stay, she provided lots of good tips and she even made a private boat reservation for us, as well as several dinner reservations and the departure baggage transfer. She responded quickly to any questions I had.
I loved Summer In Italy --- you need to have properties everywhere I go! LOL First, the email interactions with Luca over a year ago when we were deciding on this property gave me a very good feeling. Second, I love the newsletter! Lots of good information and funny! I printed out many of the articles and stuck them in my travel folder in advance of the trip. As the trip got closer, excellent interaction with Boris, Klint, and Luca -- quick responses, very friendly tone! It was such a great experience all around! Thank you to everyone!
Travel tips
- If you have moderate to large luggage, hire baggage porters to deliver your luggage from the marina directly to the apartment! We're pretty fit people and it would have been challenge to manage those stairs with our large bags (it was 30 euro per bag and worth every penny).
- Our favorite restaurant was Pulalli Wine Bar in the square (we went there for 1 lunch and 2 dinners). We also had a good meal at Restaurant Panorama. Terrazza Brunella was a disappointment - stuffy service and food was ordinary given the price point.

Great location for everything around
July 2022 - The place was awesome all around. Besides the amount of steps you have to walk to get there, but that made eating easy. Everything we ate, we walked off!
Great experience! Keep doing what you are.
Very easy process from start to finish. Summer In Italy staff very receptive and provided quick easy answers.

Couldn’t recommend this place more
July 2022 - The best views on the island. We have family on Capri and have stayed all over island.
Beautiful large bedrooms, well appointed with all of the basics. Really great powerful AC in every room (this isn’t always a given on Capri). Couldn’t recommend this place more.
Our point person Nadia was also outstanding.
Travel tips
- The apartment is up many flights of steps. Much of Capri is this way, so I wouldn’t count this as a negative. It is something to be aware of for small children or people with mobility issues (our 7 and 5 year old kids did fine).

It was perfect in every way!
June 2022 - Villa Due Marine was exceptional in every way. The view from the villa is breathtaking. The accommodations were clean and extremely comfortable. The location was perfect for easy access to activities on Capri so that it was not necessary to have a car while we were there.
We received excellent service in helping us make the travel arrangements to Capri as well as helping us to make reservations for things to do while we were at the villa.
We look forward to coming back next year for a more extended stay in June.
Summer In Italy was extremely responsive in a timely way to all emails that I sent prior to our arrival. I really appreciated the ease of communication and their level of service.

April 2022 - We can only praise the apartment and the care in the highest tones. The equipment is great, everything works perfectly and is modern. Terrace & view great! Location perfect. Important for us: the bedrooms are very quiet and easy to darken.
We were looked after wonderfully, even with additional requests.
There is a lot to do, a week can easily be spent in Capri.

You cannot beat this view of both marinas, Anacapri and Ischia!
July 2021 - The outside patio is the centrepiece of this apartment, but up to 4 people (2 couples) can stay here very comfortably with 2 full bedrooms and bathrooms, a clothes washer, ice maker, bluetooth speaker, air conditioning in all rooms, a filtered and carbonated water system, and all necessary amenities.
The management agent makes check in and check out super easy, and the owner provided most of the food basics (milk, coffee, sugar, olive oil, sodas) as well as a welcome bottle of Prosecco.
Summer In Italy service was perfect. Thank you for making it easy and pleasant.
Travel tips
- This apartment is 160 steps straight up. You need to be in great physical shape to make the hike up, and it took us 3 days to get to where we didn't have to stop several times on the climb.
- You should definitely arrange to have your bags brought up to the apartment from Marina Grande in Capri unless it's something you can easily carry. The cost is 25-35 euros per bag.

An excellent property all round
June 2019 - An excellent property all round. Very well maintained, some excellent features (loved the TV with 'frame' technology, the electric canopy for the terrace and the ice maker).
This is a little gem of place, yes there are a lot of steps, but it's all worth it for that view! You can see both sides of Capri and the main Piazzetta with bell tower below. The location is good too for accessing the main areas, shops, bars and restaurants (once you're down the steps of course).
Highly recommended, very well equipped and comfortable villa.
Some nice little touches from the host/hostess too on arrival which were greatly appreciated. An excellent property. Thank you for sharing it with us!
Summer In Italy were excellent with the arrangements. Everything was in order and everything was communicated well.
Travel tips
- The supermarket isn't far away, but given the number of steps be sure to top the fridge up daily with essentials (milk, beer, prosecco), then sit back and enjoy the view!
- When out and about don't always head to the main piazzetta, go the other way too. So much to see and explore.

Wonderful view, very helpful people, high-quality home
June 2019 - This home has a stunning view. This was one of the highlights of the trip. The home was also well-appointed, with high quality features like the remote-controlled awning. A special feature of the home is that the people at Summer In Italy who rented us the home communicated extremely well and gave us extremely helpful information prior to our stay. Although there was a hitch in the check-in process, the representative who took care of us was also extremely helpful and responsive. I highly recommend this home.

Support and assistance of Luca and Fabiana [the caretakers] were great.
Easy to book. Everything was ok.
Travel tips
- Go to pizzeria and Italian restaurant and wine lounge on the top of Piazzetta, beside of clock tower.
- Walk to Villa Fersen and Tiberius natural arch: superb. Faraglioni. Augustus garden. Anacapri with extraordinary floor of St. Michael church and Museum of the doctor writer.

A picture can't do justice to the magnificent views
June 2017 - We loved our stay at Villa Due Marine! The apartment is beautiful and exactly as pictured except a picture can't do justice to the magnificent views. The only downside to this property is that the amazing views come with the price of a pretty intense climb up steep streets and several flights of stairs that is difficult for people in really good shape. While my family felt like it added to the sense of adventure, I would not recommend it for anyone with health issues (heart, weight, knee...). We would definitely book this property again!
The owner and caretaker were extremely helpful and went out of their way to make sure our stay was comfortable. They provided wine and snacks for our arrival and even provided a counter-top ice maker when my husband mentioned he likes ice in his drinks. They also booked porters to help us with luggage, which was critical.
I was very happy with our experience.
Travel tips
- We stayed a week, so pretty much saw everything.
- I would recommend getting out on the water and taking the chair lift up Mount Solaro.

Loved our stay
March 2016 - First of all, we really loved to stay at the Villa due Marine although you have to be tough enough for the lots of stairs you have to manage to get up to it. But it is worth because you will find a well and beautiful equipped apartment with lovely views to "Downtown Capri", to Marina Grande and Marina Piccola, to the Faraglioni and up to the high mountain ranges which divide Capri from Anacapri.
The terrace is gorgeous and you will feel free with no one to look at you.
The owners Fernando and Hans are lovely people who will help you freely and quick with everything they could do.
Travel tips
- To live and stay in Capri is easy. You will find everything you need easy. And with a good guidebook you’ll get to know everything you should see and go for.

September 2015 - Villa Due Marine is the perfect place to stay in Capri, we started our honeymoon here and it was amazing!
Hans [the caretaker] and Fernando [the owner] were the perfect hosts, they were so friendly and kind and helpful, we couldn't have asked for anymore! They even had a chilled bottle of Prosecco waiting for us on arrival!
If you are going to Capri Villa Due Marine is the only place to stay!
Summer In Italy was fantastic! Everyone I dealt with was charming and helpful and the help sheet we were sent was brilliant!! We will definitely book through Summer In Italy again! Maybe another trip to Villa Due Marine! :)
Travel tips
- There are quite a few steps up to Villa Due Marine, but it is totally worth it for the view!
- It's so close to the Piazzetta, the Funicolare, and all the bars and restaturants, the location is perfect.

Very good
July 2015 - I never write reviews but felt I had to in this case. So there are a few steps involved getting there but well worth it when you enter Villa Due Marine and see the views. We are definitely coming back.
The owners greeted us and had gone to the effort of getting some fruit and putting some essentials in the fridge and a bottle of prosecco in ice.
Great service from Summer In Italy both before and after the booking.
Travel tips
- Eat at Panorama Restaurant near the Post Office.
- Spend evenings people watching in the square.

June 2015 - We loved it!
The views are magnificent, breathtaking! The apartment is gorgeous with beautiful art work, furniture and appointments.
We were greeted with a bottle of Prosecco cooling on ice, fresh fruit, coffee, refrigerator stocked with yogurt, juices, water and milk. We really appreciated this unexpected treat that made this place so special. The kitchen is small - so we just fixed breakfast and lunches.
The only challenge about Villa Due Marine is there are lots and lots of steps to get to it. Several flights of stairs. We did not mind, as it helped burn off all the delicious food that we ate!
The owners were so kind and we will definitely visit again!
Great web site, follow through and quick to respond. We will definitely use Summer In Italy again. You were terrific!
Travel tips
- Great places for dinner were Restaurant Panorama, Restaurant Da Giorgio.
- Great places for bathing and incredible lunches are Bagni di Tiberio and La Fontelina.

May 2015 - We just returned from a vacation in Italy which included a week at the Villa Due Marine. It is a beautiful property... Exactly as presented on the Summer In Italy web site.
The location of the property is very convenient to shops, restaurants and attractions, and at the same time is quiet and peaceful. Access to the property does involve climbing several steps, however the prize at the top is well worth the effort.
The owner and housekeeper are wonderful.
I would definitely consider staying at the Villa Due Marine again if good fortune allows me a return trip to Capri.
This is my first experience with Summer In Italy. If I plan any more travels, I will be sure to check your site first! Keep up the good work!
Travel tips
- There are very many wonderful restaurants located very near the property. One of our favorites was Al Grottino.
- The 160 stairway steps to the property may seem daunting, however everyone in our party was over 55, in fairly good shape, and found the climb a wonderful exercise and totally do-able, even at the end of a long day exploring Capri.
