Excelsior Parco

Some hotels tell the story of a destination before you even begin to explore it.
Excelsior Parco belongs to this rare category. Overlooking the Bay of Naples and surrounded by Mediterranean greenery, this historic luxury hotel in Capri preserves the charm of the Belle Époque and transforms it into a contemporary experience defined by quiet elegance, style, and genuine hospitality.

Dating back to the early 20th century, the villa still retains the refined Liberty-style architecture that shaped one of the island’s most fascinating eras. Flowing decorative lines, hand-painted ceramics, panoramic terraces, and artistic details create a constant dialogue with the Capri landscape.

Its location between Marina Grande and Capri’s town center allows guests to experience the island with complete freedom. On one side, the harbor and the sea; on the other, the Piazzetta and Capri’s elegant shopping streets. Thanks to the complimentary shuttle service, everything is within easy reach, while the hotel preserves its intimate and peaceful atmosphere.

Excelsior Parco is the perfect choice for travelers seeking a more authentic Capri, where luxury is expressed through atmosphere, privacy, and a deep connection with the island.

The Capri of the Grand Tour

Excelsior Parco maintains a strong connection with Capri’s artistic and cultural heritage.

Throughout the 20th century, Capri attracted artists, writers, intellectuals, and travelers from all over Europe. The villa still preserves that cosmopolitan atmosphere defined by understated elegance and natural beauty. Several areas of the hotel draw inspiration from Capri’s historic Belle Époque residences, including Villa Lysis and Villa Torricella, symbols of the island’s artistic and cultural golden age.

Walking through the terraces and common spaces means discovering a slower and more authentic side of Capri, far from the purely glamorous image often associated with the island. Here, beauty is never ostentatious. It reveals itself through architectural details, Mediterranean light, and the continuous connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.

The discreet elegance of Capri hospitality

The experience at Excelsior Parco revolves around a clear philosophy: allowing every guest to enjoy Capri at their own pace.

The pool area welcomes guests into an intimate and refined atmosphere, surrounded by Mediterranean scents, relaxing corners, and a panoramic swimming pool designed for moments of pure tranquility. A space created to slow down, recharge, and experience the elegance of Capri at its finest.

Rooms and suites are all different, each reflecting the villa’s historic identity. Interiors blend Mediterranean style, Belle Époque inspiration, and contemporary comfort to create elegant spaces that never feel formal or excessive.

Decorative majolica tiles echo the colors of the sea while furnishings recall the grand private residences that once defined Capri’s refined hospitality. Some suites feature panoramic private terraces while others include outdoor jacuzzis overlooking the Bay of Naples.

The feeling is more that of staying in an exclusive private villa than in a traditional luxury hotel. Every room has been designed to enhance natural light, sea views, and the peaceful atmosphere surrounding the property. The result is an intimate retreat where luxury becomes a matter of space, time, and well-being.

Panoramic suites between design and sea views

One of the most distinctive features of Excelsior Parco is its constant relationship with the surrounding landscape.

Many rooms open directly onto the sea, offering wide views across the Bay of Naples. Others overlook the villa’s Mediterranean gardens, creating a more secluded and tranquil atmosphere.

The sea-view suites represent the heart of the hotel experience. Here, private terraces become spaces to enjoy throughout the day: in the morning with sunlight reflecting on the water, in the afternoon surrounded by the scent of lemon trees and bougainvillea, and in the evening while watching Capri’s unforgettable sunsets. Outdoor jacuzzis further enhance the sense of exclusivity and privacy.

The interior design carefully balances history and modern comfort. Liberty-style details coexist with natural materials, soft colors, and contemporary amenities without ever feeling excessive. Each suite reflects a sophisticated, artistic, and deeply Mediterranean vision of Capri.

Belle Epoque Restaurant: Mediterranean cuisine with a view

The Excelsior Parco experience also includes a strong culinary identity.

Belle Epoque Restaurant & Bar offers Mediterranean cuisine deeply rooted in the local territory, seasonal ingredients, and a more conscious approach to hospitality. Chef Michele carefully selects organic and locally sourced products every day, highlighting the authentic flavors of Mediterranean and Campanian cuisine. The hotel’s membership in Teritoria — the international collection of character hotels and restaurants inspired by Alain Ducasse — further reflects this vision centered on authenticity, creativity, and the culture of fine living.

This year, the villa’s culinary offering is enriched by a prestigious new signature. After an elite international career spent creating bespoke menus for magnates and prominent figures on the global stage, chef Davide Benetello chose to embrace the vision of Luxury Villa Excelsior Parco. A decision inspired by the desire to slow down and return to the essence of cooking: bringing traditional cuisine back to its roots.

At our hotel, the chef transforms his expertise into dishes that celebrate the authentic flavors of the region, combining the precision of fine dining with the soul and memory of timeless recipes. A quiet form of luxury, defined by exceptional ingredients and deep respect for culinary heritage.

Fresh seafood, local vegetables, Capri citrus fruits, and Mediterranean aromas become the foundation of elegant yet essential dishes.

The restaurant’s panoramic terrace offers one of the most beautiful views over the Bay of Naples. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner become moments to enjoy slowly, accompanied by sea views and the quiet atmosphere of the villa.

Sunset aperitifs are especially appreciated by guests. As the sun disappears behind the Gulf, the terrace takes on a relaxed and intimate atmosphere that perfectly reflects the spirit of the hotel.

Service follows the same philosophy as the rest of the property: attentive, discreet, and naturally elegant.

Tailor-made experiences to discover Capri

One of the hotel’s most appealing aspects is the possibility of creating a personalized stay.

The Excelsior Parco team organizes experiences designed for travelers who wish to discover Capri in an authentic and flexible way.

Boat excursions around the island, private tours, cultural itineraries, food experiences, and nature walks allow guests to connect with Capri’s most genuine side.

The hotel’s location also makes it easy to reach both the lively center and the island’s quieter panoramic areas. Within minutes guests can walk through the Piazzetta, depart on a private boat tour to the Faraglioni, or explore scenic trails leading to Villa Jovis and the Pizzolungo path.

Returning to the peaceful atmosphere of the villa after a day exploring Capri creates a completely different feeling from the energy of the island’s busiest areas.

This balance between vibrant island life and privacy is one of the hotel’s most appreciated qualities.

A different idea of luxury

Among Capri’s luxury hotels, Excelsior Parco stands out for its distinctive identity.

Here, luxury is not about excess but about the quality of the experience.
About enjoying the island in an elegant, intimate place deeply connected to its history.

The limited number of rooms contributes to the relaxed atmosphere. Spaces never feel impersonal, and the relationship with the staff remains warm and authentic.

This is a hotel designed for travelers looking for a quieter and more sensory Capri.
For those who want to wake up overlooking the sea, read on a panoramic terrace, or enjoy a slow dinner while watching the sunset over the Bay of Naples.

Excelsior Parco successfully preserves the charm of the Belle Époque while embracing contemporary comfort.
And it is precisely this combination that makes it one of the most interesting luxury hospitality addresses in Capri.
