Hotel overview

Set atop a scenic vantage overlooking Marina Piccola Bay, this refined 5-star adult-only hotel offers an intimate retreat steeped in elegance. Its standout features include two outdoor swimming pools with expansive sea views, creating a serene atmosphere for relaxation in Capri’s embrace. The accommodations blend sophisticated design with comfort, providing guests rooms that wake to stunning vistas rather than typical generic luxury.

Positioned just a short walk from lively Piazzo Umberto’s restaurants and within reach of iconic natural sights such as the Blue Grotto and the Faraglioni rock formations, the hotel balances peaceful seclusion with access to Capri’s vibrant offerings. A spa, fitness center, finely regarded onsite Italian restaurant, and attentive concierge service enhance the stay, though some guests note minor gaps like the absence of in-room irons and a more varied breakfast. Overall, service quality and the spectacular setting remain defining draws for discerning travelers.

Immaculate Housekeeping Personalized Service Stunning Views Quiet Atmosphere Some Breakfast Limitations

“La Scalinatella made our Capri stay very memorable overall. We stayed for 4 nights and the cleanliness was excellent — housekeeping came twice a day, and the room was always spotless, which we really appreciated. The concierge team was incredibly helpful, especially with boat reservations, restaurant bookings, and shopping recommendations. A special thank you to Luigi, who was fantastic — knowledgeable, attentive, and gave us truly great recommendations throughout our stay. There are, however, a few areas that could be improved. Breakfast was okay, but honestly not what we expected in terms of quality and variety. We also didn’t enjoy the food from the restaurant by the beach. Another point for improvement would be providing an iron in the room. While pressing/cleaning service is available, not having an in-room iron felt a bit inconvenient. That said, the service, cleanliness, and concierge experience were outstanding, and we had a wonderful stay overall.”

“This hotel is our favorite in this Italy trip. A truly special stay. The views from our room were stunning — you wake up to the sea. The room itself is beautifully designed with real character, not the generic luxury hotel look you see everywhere. We were pleasantly surprised with a room upgrade upon arrival, which set the tone for the entire stay. Dominic was exceptional throughout — attentive, thoughtful, and never overdoing it. He struck that perfect balance of being there when you need him and giving you space when you don’t. Julia was incredibly helpful with concierge recommendations and made planning our time on the island effortless.”

“From the moment we arrived, the level of care and precision was evident. The establishment is super lucky to have Andrea. He is the GM and leads the operation with exceptional professionalism present, attentive, and clearly setting a high standard across the team. Under him, Pino manages seamlessly, ensuring every detail is executed flawlessly and every request is handled with speed and clarity. Dario, under Pino’s supervision, is equally impressive,proactive, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in the guest experience. What stood out most was how they handled everything with quiet efficiency and genuine care. Our anniversary was not just acknowledged, it was elevated into something truly special through thoughtful touches and perfect timing. The setting itself is equally remarkable one of the most beautiful viewpoints in Capri, offering a stunning, almost cinematic perspective of the island. If you are staying here, I strongly recommend trying the Junior Suites. A team that understands hospitality at a high level precise, warm, and detail-driven”

“The most beautiful view of the coast. Simon made us feel so welcome, we’re so glad we stopped here for desserts on a hot afternoon, even though we weren’t staying at the hotel. Feels off the beaten path.”

“I was visiting Capri for the first time and booked La Scalinatella upon receiving a generous offer and couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience. Service: Having stayed at countless hotels as a former consultant, I can honestly say I've never experienced service this exceptional as a regular, first-time guest. The staff-to-guest ratio felt like 3:1 - there was always someone ready to help, and their attention to detail was remarkable. Accommodations: Mr. Morgano graciously upgraded us to a suite, which was absolutely beautiful. The space was incredibly generous with two full bathrooms and spectacular ocean views that made every moment special. Breakfast: The breakfast service was excellent, particularly because they focus on fresh, made-to-order main dishes rather than a wasteful buffet setup. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared. Setting: It's hard to capture just how stunning this property is - the views and overall atmosphere truly make you feel like you've escaped to another world. Fair warning: it's quite a climb up, so it might be challenging for those with mobility concerns, but we found the location perfect. My only minor complaint would be the absence of in-room irons or steamers. Having to use a special pressing service that takes over an hour is inconvenient, especially during summer visits when you're dealing with lots of linens. I'll absolutely return to Scalinatella and will be recommending it enthusiastically to friends and family!”
