Monte Solaro

From Piazza della Vittoria you can take a breathtaking chairlift to the top of Mount Solaro, the highest point on Capri at 1,932 feet.

If you’re in Anacapri you must go on the chairlift and visit the mountain peak - if you are in Capri for more than a day it’s also easy to get to by bus from the Marina or Main Square. The views across the whole island are simply stunning, and reached by single seat chairlift which climbs the mountain. It’s so peaceful and calm and a wonderful experience (unless you have vertigo - it might not be for you!). You get to the top on arrival the views are breathtaking. You can see the whole island across to the mainland and even over to Mount Vesuvius. The return trip is well worth the €12 - I didn’t see the stairs or how you’d actually make the journey back down again....

Villa San Michele

Villa San Michele is the life’s work at Capri of the Swedish physician and author Axel Munthe (1857–1949). It is surrounded by an impressive garden, which recently won the price as Italy’s most beautiful private park. Behind it is the Barbarossa mountain, that Axel Munthe turned into a sanctuary for migratory birds. Axel Munthe recounts the story of his life and the creation of the villa in The Story of San Michele (1929). It became one of the first international bestsellers in modern time. The tale that then captivated countless readers all over the world, lives on in Villa San Michele, in its rooms and garden and in the Egyptian sphinx, that silently watches the sea from its balustrade.

As you ascend to the top of the mountain on the West side of Capri, you reach Anacapri, one of the two major towns on the island. Wading through the sea of tourists, and passing through a number of souvenir shops, you will find your way to Villa San Michele, currently a museum, but originally the home of Axel Munthe, a Swedish expat, physician, psychiatrist, polyglot, writer and philanthropist who arguably did more than anyone else in modern times to put Capri on the map. The museum houses the extensive collection of the archaeological and anthropological treasures collected buy Dr. Munthe, as well as numerous decorative items (sculptures, paintings, ceramics, etc.). It is also the site of the Chapel of St. Michelle and lovely gardens that surround the buildings. The view from the Villa's terraces is spectacular: most of Marina Grande, the beach below, and the Sorrento peninsula across the strait, as well as mount Vesuvius and Naples at a distance.

Seggiovia Monte Solaro

Reviewed By emilyhalfp - Bromsgrove, United Kingdom

The chairlift up to the top of Monte Solaro is a must when in Capri - the views at the top are incredible and the 13 minute ride on the chairlift itself is wonderfully peaceful, taking in the views and brea mgthing in the fresh air (away from the crowds below). When we arrived there was no queue and we were able to go straight on - we paid €12 each for a round trip and then hopped on. I was a little worried before hand about getting on the single chair lift (very much like a ski chair lift) but it was so simple to get on and there was someone there to ensure you got on and off ok.
