In the heart of the ancient village of Anacapri “above Capri”, the CAPRISUITE is an exclusive cocoon for refined aesthetes. The locals say Anacapri is “what Capri used to be like, many many years ago”. Giuliano Andrea dell’Uva, a young architect from Napoli, designed this hideaway in the remains of a 16th century convent, beside the San Michele church. Two simple rooms, designed in hues of yellow and blue, in tribute to the sun and the Mediterranean sea. There, you’ll be living alongside designer furniture, modern art and luxury (look at the bathrooms!).
CAPRISUITE
Via Finestrale, 9
80071 Anacapri

Credenza designed by the architect. Waxed iron structure, wooden recovery doors and antique for opening
Another amazing thing to know about CAPRISUITE: the architect designed a lot of the furniture himself, like the credenza above, and they are available for purchase in the CAPRISUITE shop ! How cool is that? Most of the tableware, like dishes, coffee cups, pitchers and jugs, are also available.
And the tour continues at the two bedrooms.
The blue room, with a basin-bath in front of the window and along the wall a metal mantle fireplace.
Vaults several hundred years old, cement tiles from early twentieth century, the memory of the place confronts the radical modernity.
Hand painted bedspread signed by Livio de Simone. A resumed fantasy created in 1972 for Capri.
Arrange the bathroom in these cramped walls was nearly impossible.
It only took a wide swing door opened to the bedroom, a sink placed at the window and horizontal striped fabric Livio de Simone protected by plastic to give the illusion of space. Gray resin on the floor, as in other parts of the house.
