Il Carrubo Capri

Get it before its gone . Stunning location caring staff sparkling clean all white interior. Breakfast is homemade delicious. The owners run the place and are available for any help. The bus & taxis are conveniently available right outside the villa. It’s a most unique experience. Highly recommend the beautiful property.

Beautiful hotel and gorgeous staff. Can’t fault this hotel at all. The breakfasts on the terrace each morning was divine and the helpfulness and recommendations of the staff were fantastic. The rooms were beautiful as well. If you want to get away from the crowds of capri this is a fantastic hotel.

It was like being home away from home. Cariño and his family were amazing. The place has amazing views, the breakfast was excellent.

A little piece of Eden in Italy. Il Carrubo is at once blissfully quiet, and an easy walk to restaurants, sights, hiking and shops. Special mentions to the gardens and the endless views beyond them (both are stunning), the attentive but light-touch service and the breakfasts (fresh, homemade and varied). It’s rare to find a place to stay that has thought of everything and executed each of those things perfectly, but still warmly welcomes you as though you’re their first guest.

This is one of the best properties we have stayed in around the world. The entire experience from booking all the way to departing was outstanding. Corino, Alice and Michele are the kindest owners and the hardest working hosts. Their genuine and personalized approach made our stay unforgettable. From choosing our preferred room to arranging boat/vespa/dinner reservations to taking us to/from the ferry to preparing the most delicious meals - it was all such a breezy experience and a real pleasure. The villa is so tastefully renovated and decorated, blending beautifully the original floors and furnishings with lots of natural light, bright and art pieces. The vast and lush gardens, panoramic pool, carob pergola all offer the perfect setting to relax and indulge in nature, blissful sunsets, and delicious breakfast and lunch. Enjoying limoncello spritz, home made local pasta and freshly baked daily cakes was so dreamy. Thank you, dear Corino, Alice and Michele. We look forward to coming back!

Carrubo was perfect. Corino was the best host, who would quickly answer any questions you asked on WhatsApp, ensuring everyone had the best holiday. The whole villa is special and the breakfast doesn’t get much better. Couldn’t rate this gem highly enough! 10/10

We had a fabulous 3 night stay at Il Carrubo Capri. Be prepared. This property is relatively remote and located at the far end of the island from the ferry port—close to the famous Blue Grotto (closed due to rough seas during our visit). The owners, Alice and Michele, inherited the property from their grandmother who used it as a holiday home. This is as close to staying in your own private villa as you are likely to find at a reasonable price for Anacapri! The island of Capri is divided into 2 main sections; Capri and Anacapri. If you are looking for calm, quiet and a more authentic experience away from cruise ship passengers and hordes of daytrippers, Anacapri is the way to go. Il Carrubo Capri is located in a beautiful setting with lush gardens and a gorgeous sunset view over the pool area and sea. So peaceful to sip a limoncello spritz while enjoying the pool and sea view and enjoying the sounds of birds. This property is run as a bed and breakfast and the breakfast was delicious! They also offer a limited menu of fantastic homemade pasta dishes for lunch or early dinner upon request. They also offer refreshing cocktails which were greatly appreciated. Alice and Michele could not have been nicer hosts! We felt as though we made new friends. So enjoyable to chat with them and other guests. It made for a very memorable experience. Molto grazie!! Be aware that you cannot rent a car on Capri/Anacapri. The roads are very narrow and tricky to navigate. Unless you are willing to rent a scooter and take your life in your hands (no exaggeration). you will need to take the small local bus to Anacapri and another bus from Anacapri into Capri Town or take a VERY expensive taxi to and fro. The bus stop is right outside the gate of Il Carrubo Capri, but the bus does not run very frequently. At the time of writing this review, we discovered from a local resident while waiting for the bus that the 9:25 am bus (only once a day) goes all the way into Capri Town without having to change buses in Anacapri. Unfortunately, at night, the return bus runs even less frequently than regular day service (with no direct service from Capri Town), so plan accordingly. Beware that taxi fares at night are outrageous (bad enough during the day). If you understand the bus schedule and can adjust your sightseeing accordingly, you can make this work.

Amazing B&B with friendly staff, chic rooms, and a gorgeous view of the sea. The pictures on their website are accurate but don’t even do the place justice. The entire property is recently renovated and all the fine details are there. And the views can only be fully appreciated in person. What really makes this place stand out is the staff — they are all super friendly, eager to please, speak fluent English, and will help you plan your days on the island.

Il Carrubo is a magical place to stay with a breathtaking yet convenient location (I much prefer Anacapri to Capri), a warm and helpful staff, beautiful grounds, spacious and comfortable accommodations, and a feeling that you are truly away from realty. I could go into all the little details, but this review would become ridiculously long. Just know that we are a hard-to-please couple and there is nothing I can say negative about this property. And a special shout out to Corino who was simply the best. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Of all the wonderful places we stayed while in Napoli and the Amalfi Coast--Il Carrubo is a place I hope to stay again for a longer period of time.
