The hotel's position on the island places guests within walking reach of historic attractions including the Blue Grotto, Villa Damecuta, and Anacapri's traditional village center with local boutiques and artisan workshops. The clifftop location defines the property experience as fundamentally as its Relais & Châteaux membership.
Check availability Official websiteCaesar Augustus occupies Via Giuseppe Orlandi in Anacapri, the quieter northern town of the Island of Capri in the Campania region of Italy. The hotel's position on a cliff that overhangs the Mediterranean Sea places it at an exceptional vantage point, offering unobstructed views across the Bay of Naples. Anacapri itself retains a village character distinct from Capri town on the island's south side. The clifftop setting is both the hotel's defining geographic attribute and its primary draw for visitors seeking isolation combined with proximity to island attractions.
The Blue Grotto stands as Anacapri's most iconic destination and is accessible on foot from Caesar Augustus by walking to the historic heart of Anacapri and following directional signs to the cave entrance. The grotto's entrance is famously narrow, permitting only small rowboats to pass through, and visitors must bow to enter the passage. The route to the Blue Grotto passes Villa Damecuta, whose ruins served as the former residence of Emperor Tiberius. These historical and natural attractions represent the principal day-trip opportunities from the hotel.
Anacapri's main village area features narrow, boutique-lined lanes offering curated shopping and local goods. Designer fashion is available in the island's boutiques. Traditional crafts include hand-painted ceramics, a regional specialty. Local merchants stock limoncello liquor, the lemon-based spirit produced on Capri. On Via Giuseppe Orlandi, where Caesar Augustus is located, Antonio Viva operates a renowned cobbler's workshop at number 75, creating made-to-measure, hand-stitched sandals while customers wait. This artisan tradition exemplifies the craftsmanship culture of the island and offers guests an authentic local experience within steps of the hotel.
