La Casa nel Bosco

View

Stairs without a simple lift that would make the whole thing much more comfortable

The photos don’t do the justice for the view - it’s is absolutely stunning! The villa itself is very beautiful too and is well maintained. The host and the staff, Adem and Elena, were all very nice and welcoming. Great breakfast too!

It’s a bit tricky with the transport at first, as the villa is located near the road with no big bus or taxi station. We would usually walk down the road to the Capri center (about 15 min), which is very convenient but a bit dangerous as there’s no sidewalk.

SPECTACULAR VIEW OF CAPRI HARBOR and across island to Villa Lysis (very gorgeous museum w/ contemporary art on a cliff across from Casa nel Bosco, and also visible is Tiberius' Palace ruins from the Casa). Breakfast is in a charming setting with harbor/cliff/woods VIEW, umbrella pines dominating surrounding woods, birds circling, lizards running along the lovely flower edging, rustic wooden fencing along the patio. Variety, good quality of breakfast items fresh fruits, bio-yogurts (plain and fruit flavors), eggs, good bread for toast, cheeses, butter, jams, croissants, fruit juice, milk . . . Charlie the cat also a wonderful wide-eyed visitor to the breakfast area. The deep small pool was so refreshing (located just above the breakfast patio nearby several guest rooms. Nice books to read in my large bedroom, striking prints and large and small antique dark wood furniture — gives a feeling of sharing a family home. Manager Oelena was as charming as the property, as well a a fount of cultural suggestions and nurturing support: she not only located a very affordable electrical shop where I finally bought correct adaptors for my cell and PC, she advised on transport options, museums — and was unflappable no matter how many guests seemed to need various support simultaneously. She placed Birthday cards at guests' breakfast tables and made other lovely touches throughout my stay. Adem the gardener kept grounds immaculate! Also owner Francesco happened to be awake when I came at 11 PM ( he previously kept in WhatsApp contact w/ helpful updates for me as I tried to wrestle various flights/ferry schedules in order to arrive) —and not only chivalrously carried a heavy bag up to the house for me, but also located some red wine at that hour through his neighbor, and Adem provided lovely fruit and snack tray.

Paradise is not a place I would criticize!!

The view is stunning. The breakfast and coffee was nice.

The small double room is very very tiny. If you are taller than 180 cm, than you will be uncomfortable. Our room had a lot of bugs and didn’t feel as clean as we were used to. Capri is very expensive, somehow this room still didn’t feel as valuable as it should.
