Gocce di Capri Resort

Out of the crowded tourist places, amazing food, stunning view of Capri Island, rooms are clean and the staff is unique and helpful! Btw, great wine selection from the Campania region.

The best thing about this resort is the staff. They couldn't be more friendly or helpful. They don't sweat the small stuff (taking a bowl of fresh fruit back to our apartment after breakfast; checking out at 12pm rather than 10.30am) and they sorted out problems instantly (Leaky shower. No problem. 5 minutes later a handyman fixed it. Mattress not the most comfortable. No problem. We'll get a brand new topper) The second thing is the location. I always worry when it says sea views it will be possible to see the sea by leaning out of the bathroom window or something similar. Not here. There are unrestricted views over the sea to Capri, even in the cheaper apartments like we had. The apartment was comfortable and well equipped. We cooked a couple of simple meals and made lunches each day. The village nearby is a little gem. It has a great corner shop with fresh produce and most other things you could need. Incredibly for a tiny place there are a couple of great places to eat. We went to Eugenes. It is sort of "grandma's kitchen". The food was inexpensive but delicious. The house wine at €4 for half a litre was more than acceptable. One warning. This is a remote location. You either need a car (and the confidence to drive around the cliff edges) or to rely on the buses to Sorrento. They are infrequent but we found them reliable. The only real problem was that the last one left Sorrento at 8.15pm. No late nights out! Taxis are €70 each way not £16-19 as Google said when we booked. It is at least half an hour into Sorrento and can take an hour to get home. We loved this holiday. We'd recommend the resort to anyone who wants a getaway to this exquisite part of Italy.
