Villa Ceselle Anacapri 3 stars

For centuries, the villas of Capri have been providing elegant retreats for holidaymakers coming to the island in search of wellbeing and relaxation. Hotel Villa Ceselle, close to the historic center of Anacapri, continues this long-standing tradition, providing todays guests with the intimacy of an elegant private home and the services of a 3 star hotel.

As they enter Villa Ceselle, clients are greeted by the sensation of peace and tranquility which reigns supreme over this intimate little guest house. The light-filled public areas are almost entirely furnished in delicate shades of white, cream and oatmeal, as are the spacious bedrooms, all of which feature traditional stone paved floors and barrel vaulted ceilings. Equipped with all modern conveniences, each room has a generously sized ensuite bathroom, complete with exclusive courtesy range. An independent apartment with kitchen is available for those who prefer to self cater.

The soothing neutral palette of Villa Ceselle's interiors provides a pleasing contrast to the piercing blue of the Mediterranean sky and lush green of the gardens visible from the hotel's sun kissed terraces and balconies, some of which afford splendid views of the sea and the islands of the Bay of Naples.

Hotel Villa Ceselle is owned by the Maresca family. Regular visitors to Capri will recognize the Marescas as the personable proprietors of Da Gelsomina, an eatery famous for its excellent traditional island cuisine and scenic location, right next to Anacaprìs Migliera viewing point. A free shuttle service is available from the hotel to both Da Gelsomina's restaurant and panoramic swimming pool.
