THE ENCHANTED ISLE OF CAPRI

Walking on Capri is ideal for the less experienced or occasional walker. You follow dressed stone steps or mule tracks with pretty ceramic signposts that guide you past citrus groves and houses decked with bougainvillaea. Each walk covers a unique corner of this small island, with its own coastal views and historical interest.

Capri only has two towns: Capri and Anacapri. There is an efficient, frequent bus service between the two so you can start your walks at different points, walking as much or as little as you want to see the best of this fascinating island. The suggested walks also include one on the Sorrentine peninsula with views back over Capri, but there are enough to keep you on the island all week. What makes the walking extra special here is that apart from the main roads connecting the two towns, there are few other roads so everyone gets about on foot. The paths are peaceful and traffic free save for locals returning home with their shopping. When you aren’t walking, there’s lots to do. Pompeii and Herculaneum are day trips and nearby coastal towns of Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi are a short ferry ride away.

You stay at the Hotel Mamela, an elegant **** residence near historic centre of Capri town. With a stunning outdoor swimming pool, tropical gardens and panoramic sun terraces, it simply exudes style and luxury. Rooms all have air conditioning, minibar and satelite TV. Each has a private sea-facing balcony affording stupendous coastal views. A sumptuous buffet breakfast is included, but other meals are left to you. With so many fine restaurants right on your doorstep, you’ll be completely spoiled for choice!
