Fodor's Expert Review Capri Tiberio Palace

Offering guests comfort, style, luxury, and sigh-inducing views since the 19th century, this hotel is a short walk from the piazzetta—near the action, but not quite in the thick of it. All 17 suites have large private terraces, but the clincher is the 1950s Hollywood–inspired Bellevue Suite, with its 360-degree-view rooftop terrace and plunge pool. Three salt-filled golden bowls in the lobby extend a traditional island welcome, and elsewhere Regency-style decor combines local color with international chic. The Terrazza Tiberio restaurant, the only place south of Rome with kosher cuisine on its menu, is a local-meets-international gourmet experience, and the white grand piano in the Jacky Bar evokes times past. There's a renowned spa with sensory showers and adjoining gym, or you can simply relax, enjoying the view, drink in hand, immersed in the indoor-outdoor swimming pool.
