Villa Ceselle

Your elegant island home, in Anacapri

  1. A holiday in a historic house, in the center of Anacapri
  2. Meals to remember at the Da Gelsomina restaurant
  3. A swim in the pool overlooking the Bay of Naples

For centuries, the villas of Capri have been providing elegant retreats for holidaymakers coming to the island in search of wellbeing and relaxation. Hotel Villa Ceselle, close to the historic center of Anacapri, continues this long-standing tradition, providing todays guests with the intimacy of an elegant private home and the services of a 3 star hotel.

As they enter Villa Ceselle, clients are greeted by the sensation of peace and tranquility which reigns supreme over this intimate little guest house. The light-filled public areas are almost entirely furnished in delicate shades of white, cream and oatmeal, as are the spacious bedrooms, all of which feature traditional stone paved floors and barrel vaulted ceilings. Equipped with all modern conveniences, each room has a generously sized ensuite bathroom, complete with exclusive courtesy range. An independent apartment with kitchen is available for those who prefer to self cater.

The soothing neutral palette of Villa Ceselle's interiors provides a pleasing contrast to the piercing blue of the Mediterranean sky and lush green of the gardens visible from the hotel's sun kissed terraces and balconies, some of which afford splendid views of the sea and the islands of the Bay of Naples.

Hotel Villa Ceselle is owned by the Maresca family. Regular visitors to Capri will recognize the Marescas as the personable proprietors of Da Gelsomina, an eatery famous for its excellent traditional island cuisine and scenic location, right next to Anacaprìs Migliera viewing point. A free shuttle service is available from the hotel to both Da Gelsomina's restaurant and panoramic swimming pool.

Beautiful hotel and location

Wow what a fabulous and beautiful place and I have no idea why it’s only rated 3 stars. Immaculate rooms with everything you need and more and tastefully decorated. The property and grounds are very well maintained as are the social seating areas. WiFi worked well. Staff are lovely and especially the lady on reception. It’s a short stroll into Anacapri with 2 ways of waking. The hotel isn’t crowded and peaceful. I believe there is a pool at their sister hotel with they will arrange transportation for you. We would definitely stay here again This is a 4 star at least!

This hotel is set in some lovely grounds with amazing views. The breakfast is simple contintental breakfast with great coffee and self service options. Small rooms which are very clean and comfortable. The staff are amazing and very helpful. The only downside is that they do have have a pool but their sister hotel does which the staff can arrange for you. A number of areas that provide peaceful time to relax or read a book A 10 - 15 minute walk gets you to the centre and then it a 3 euro bus ride to Capri centre where its all happening.

Didn’t Enjoy My Stay

I’ve visited Capri many times and this was the worse. The Good The room has AC. The Bad. Basically everything else but especially the service and location. Here is more details about what makes this a bad hotel. Bad location for tourist Not in the cute part of Anacapri Internet doesn’t work well. Not sure it works at all. It never worked for me. However Capri is notorious for bad internet. Receptionist not friendly . Guess I’d sum the reception up as rude beyond believe. Pool: my booking said the property had a pool, but there is no pool . It has a hot tub. Literally. Plugs in room different work with any of the chargers. Which for me as a foreigner it’s feels uncomfortable not to have a phone in case something happens. Both ladies at front were rude beyond believe and when I told them my plans were upset. I’m sorry my plans aren’t to their liking but to each is own. They have access to a pool at another property which they arranged but when I told her I would only stay 2 hours she got upset and said guest stay for the entire day. You should just skip my pool if you will only stay for 2 hours. That instead of using the pool I should just go up have lunch and leave. How does that make sense? Spend money at the pool , not use it and leave. Appeared to me that they wanted to ensure that you spend enough on food and alcohol at the pool. They should sell the sun beds instead of allowing us to use them for 2 hours. The funny part was when we got to the pool it really wasn’t nice at all. Especially for the hype. Avoid. Who is she to tell me what to do and get a nasty attitude because I only want to stay at a pool for two hours. Of all the places I’ve stayed in Capri over the years this was honestly the worse hotel I’ve stayed at in Capri. It’s a skip. She also gave inaccurate information saying there was no ferry from Capri to Possitano. Honestly the worse front desk staff of any hotel I have ever visited both during the day and night. It’s made the staff uncomfortable from entering and when we left we were sad. I don’t think anyone should be treated like this. The pool was disappointing at best. We get to the pool and it’s not even that nice. I guess I’ve stayed to many well run establishments and beautiful properties to consider this pool or hotel acceptable. I would never stay again . I stayed at a hotel half the price near by that was much nicer. I’ve also rented a house in the area which was much nicer than this hotel. The hotel needs new management. I think doing high season in Capri they maybe in over their heads. I hated my stay at this property . The ruined the mood both coming and leaving . I guess the difference is knowing nice from trash. The hotel was inexpensive so maybe they just aren’t used to giving good service. In the end everything worked out but basically getting away from the hotel staff and enjoying the day. We did everything we planed.

Having stayed here with my Fiancée several times over several years up until she passed away in 2018, this was the first time that I’d been back since. Thank you to Rosa, Angelo, Natalie, Nadia and Gelsomina for making this visit as special as all of the previous ones were. A lovely quiet location, superb accommodation, extremely clean, wonderfully maintained and very well looked after. Immaculate. Cannot recommend it enough, thank you, you hold a very special place in my heart ❤️

Map

Hotel Villa Ceselle is located in Anacapri, the picturesque little town resting at the foot of the Island of Capri's Monte Solaro. The hotel sits right at the start of the road which, from Anacapri, leads to the legendary Grotta Azzurra.

Within meters of the hotel, there is a bus stop from where to catch buses to the lighthouse of Punta Carena, the town of Capri and the port. Anacapri's historic center, famous for its Villa San Michele, the Monte Solaro chairlift, the Church of San Michele, and the Casa Rossa Museum, is just a pleasant, five minute walk away.
