LA FONTELINA
This beautiful beach club is situated along the cliffs overlooking the sea with the Faraglioni of Capri in the background. It is one of Capri's oldest beach clubs which opened its restaurant as early as 1949. They are known for their classic seafood dishes, as these were what they first started with when they opened. The Catch of the Day, cooked on the grill.
La Fontelina has been visited by major international stars since it first opened in the 1940s. Celebrities such as Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren, and Clark Gable, to mention a few from the past, all the way to present-day celebrities whom you might suddenly find next to you here. It is one of the pricier beach clubs here in Capri, but if you desire a bit of luxury on the beach for a day, this is the place to experience. We recommend having the accommodation you are staying at reserve a spot for you because you cannot enter without a prior reservation.
There are many steps to go from the main road down to La Fontelina. So be sure your reservation is in place before you begin the descent. It is also possible to be picked up by boat from Marina Piccola or Marina Grande. This must be arranged in advance.
The restaurant La Fontelina has kept the pergola on the terrace from olden days, built of straw mats and chestnut trees. And we have no trouble dreaming ourselves back to the old days when, among others, Brigitte Bardot perhaps sat exactly where we sat when she visited La Fontelina.
And maybe she had lunch here in the delightful shade. We certainly did! This place is known to be one of the most exclusive beach clubs in Italy, and with this location and history, we can well understand why.
RISTORANTE II GERANIO…
This restaurant is located right next to the Gardens of Augustus, and is only a 5-minute walk from the square Piazza Umberto I. It has a very nice small terrace where you have a lovely view down towards the Faraglioni, so make sure to get a table outside when you make a reservation. We have eaten at this restaurant several times, both for lunch and dinner, and the food tastes very good; they follow a classic Italian style in their dishes. They also have a good selection of Italian wines, including local and national ones, as well as international options.
TERAZZA BRUNELLA
This restaurant is connected to the Villa Brunella hotel and it has a fantastic terrace that offers a beautiful view over Capri and the sunset to the west. The food is very good, and they have a great selection of both local, national, and international wines. It's a nice place with very good food. Here, you sit inside, but there are large windows that are opened in the summer to give you a view of Capri.
