of the symbols which the “*****l” that hotel
punta tragara in Capri boasts perhaps the most
obvious is its l for luxury, a word which has long
been associated with this famous island and
which this hotel is certainly the symbol par excellence
of. what is certainly worth discovering,
however, is the special features behind each of
the 5 stars under which the hotel has dazzled
since 1973. its first and incomparable distinguishing
mark is revealed in all its magnificence when,
after a pleasant walk from Capri’s square surrounded
by blooming bougainvillea you reach
belvedere tragara with its arched orange grove
terraces plunging sharply into the indigo sea at
Marina piccola in front of the imposing Faraglioni.
the position is unique, the view unequalled, the
sun perfect. to enjoy the best of Capri all you
need to do is be there - in its 44 rooms and 5
suites whether you are relaxing in your room,
soaking in the jacuzzi, taking breakfast on the
sunny terrace, in the swimming pool with the
agave or lunching in the shade of its maritime
pines. wherever you are you will get a wonderful
view of saetta, stella and scopolo - these are the
names of the Faraglioni - and the luxuriant colours
of the bay which - and not by chance - were
chosen by emperor tiberius as the site of one of
his villas. and this is when a second characteristic
emerges, the history in which the walls of the
hotel are settled. it was built by engineer Vismara
