Capri's wonderland hotel {J.K. Capri Place}
When I was living in Italy my favorite place to visit was Sorrento, Positano and the beautiful blue isle of Capri. I can only dream about going back and staying at the luxurious
which is very sophisticated and elegant. This stylish retreat is located in one of the most magical cliffs of Capri. Although this villa has been around for 125 years, the interiors were designed by the revered Italian architect and interior designer Michele Bonan. I can already dream about lounging by the pool with my Missoni bikini, sipping on a limoncello and reading Italian Vogue.
I love the the classic blue and white palette throughout the hotel which spins English design with a modern Italian styling. I also love the touches of yellows and corals in some of the guest rooms.
I love the signature pleated drapes serving as canopies hanging over the beds.
Flat-screen TVs hang above antique desks with glossy vases and polished chrome table lamps. Larger junior suites offer separate living areas with expansive sliding windows, printed club chairs and masonry fireplaces. Details include handmade signature monogram pillows with black-piping, rococo tables and handmade throw rugs are found throughout all room categories, as well as marble baths with deep-soaking tubs and rain showers. The in-house restaurant, serving an all-day Mediterranean menu, offers more of a classic English vibe with quaint Lounge Bar and stunning outdoor patio.
The intimate lobby area is very stylish as it has colorfully bold walls with glossy wainscoting interrupted by a seagrass-lined staircase with oil paintings and vintage photographs. Furnishings are refreshingly modern with white-upholstered Chippendale chairs, asymmetrical stools and low-slung loungers with nail-head detailing. Fundamental design details like floors and ceilings are also decided modern with ebony hardwoods, chrome sconces and polished-metal ceiling fans.
This hotel would be perfect for a honeymoon or a getaway with the lover! Don't you agree? Make sure you put this hotel as the "IT hotel" to visit once you go to Capri...I sure have it on my list!
