WHY? This white bluff top hideaway is Capri's hippest boutique lodging. With just 22 rooms, it's as close and casual as an extravagant, all around staffed private habitation.

WHERE? A 45-minute hydrofoil ride from Naples, amidst a Roman settlement, neglecting the Marina Grande (harbor).

STAYING IN This good looking nineteenth century manor has for some time been an inn, however was as of late changed into this captivating incarnation by Michele Bönan, the French modeler in charge of the super-sleek Ferragamo-claimed Lungarno inns. Most rooms have ocean sees, yet in the event that you feel burnt out on looking out at the sky blue, defer to the library for a flick through the foot stool books, or make a beeline for the teak porch and warmed open air pool - taking in amazing perspectives of the Amalfi drift and Mount Vesuvius. Lunch in the open air on the porch at JKitchen, where the plate of mixed greens of wild ox mozzarella and neighborhood cherry tomatoes is the must-attempt dish - previous visitor Princess Caroline evidently took some mozzarella back to Monaco after her sit tight. Toward the end of an exhausting day perusing and wafting about in your kaftan like a Fifties screen siren, dress for supper and taste Bellinis as the yachts twinkle beneath.

STYLE STEAL Achieve the nautical-meets-Ralph Lauren look with a blue-and-white palette, lacquered dark floors, full white love seats and monochrome works of art.

Out on the town Take the chairlift from Marina Grande up to the whitewashed town of Anacapri - taking care of business after the day-trippers have gone - or jump on the bus and scan Capri's boutiques. Pack a spotted one-piece and Loren shades and spend a day out at lido-eatery La Fontelina, arranged on a rough wharf in perspective of the Faraglioni rocks.
