Planning your visit

Anacapri sits above the main town on Capri, up the road of hairpins that until 1874 was a flight of some 900 steps, and it has always been the quieter half of the island.

Villa Rosa is a historic house converted into a cultural venue — exhibition rooms for art, a bistro and event spaces — in a setting that is the substance: terraces, gardens and views over the Bay of Naples.

Programming rotates rather than presenting a permanent collection, so what is showing varies through the season.

Anacapri's fixed attractions are Villa San Michele, built by the Swedish physician Axel Munthe and full of antiquities, and the chairlift to Monte Solaro, the island's summit.

Capri's day-trip crowds concentrate in the Piazzetta below; up here they thin considerably.

Allow an hour. Bookable options include entrance with lunch. Current availability is listed below.
