Arrival matters
Capri requires some logistical planning before you board: ferry, luggage, and arrival timing.
Have you ever woken up to a more beautiful view?
Capri, at last. You arrive in the Piazzetta and feel the island's lively rhythm right away. You follow Via Camerelle past its boutiques, then turn a corner into Via Tragara: quieter, brighter, and suddenly slower.
Take your time and breathe in the sea air. At the end of the walk, you reach Villa Brunella: a boutique hotel with a panoramic view over Marina Piccola.

The Ruggiero family
A Capri hotel, from the beginning
Villa Brunella is one of the few hotels on Capri still owned by the local family that built it. Three generations of the Ruggiero family, the same staff for more than fifteen years, guests who have been returning for decades. No international chain: just a private villa that treats guests like family friends.
Twenty rooms only
The right size to look after each guest personally.
The same staff, year after year
Returning guests find many of the same people who welcomed them the first time.
Adults only
For a calm, romantic atmosphere.

Why guests come back
“I first came to Villa Brunella in 1976. I have been coming back ever since, and that says it all. The Ruggiero family runs this place with warmth, familiarity, and quiet professionalism. The same staff, year after year. The restaurant L'Agave is excellent. For me, Villa Brunella is where you rest, dream, and feel at home. I hope they will have me for a few more years.”

“This is my second visit to Villa Brunella. The location alone is worth the stay. The welcome begins at the port and never stops: impeccable staff, smiling and present management. Dinner by candlelight on the panoramic veranda is one of those moments you wish would not end.”
Giacomo
“The pool has one of the best views on Capri, and the rest lives up to it. Impeccable service, generous buffet breakfast, specialty coffees. The hotel sits along a pedestrian path overlooking Marina Piccola and the Gardens of Augustus: quiet, secluded, genuinely romantic. The kind of place where you immediately understand why people return every year.”

The Tragara walk, the Belvedere facing the Faraglioni, Via Camerelle and its boutiques, the path down to the sea, Da Luigi and La Fontelina beach clubs: you are in the heart of Capri.
Luggage & mobility
The hotel concierge can organize luggage transport from the port to the hotel, so you can enjoy the arrival without carrying bags along the walk.
