Capri Wine Hotel
Capri, Italy — a small, adults-only hotel built into the cellars of the island’s oldest winery, still surrounded by its own vineyard and lemon grove.
Capri Wine Hotel is built into the old cellars and storehouses of Antica Vinicola Coppola, the island’s oldest winery, dating from the early 1900s. The Coppola family reopened it as a small, adults-only hotel in 2013, keeping the original white barrel-vaulted ceilings and filling the rooms above in deep wine and grape tones, many opening onto a terrace over the Bay of Naples.
In front of the house, a garden still doubles as vineyard, lemon grove and kitchen garden, with a small panoramic pool and a wine bar at its centre — tastings, sunset aperitifs, local bottles — and breakfast drawing on the same produce. Rated three stars rather than luxury, there’s no full spa or gym; the appeal is the family story, the view and the wine. Tell the hotel your ferry time and they’ll collect you from the port, useful on Capri’s steep lanes.
