Amazing panoramic view form the top of the highest mountain on the island of Capri. Unfortunately when we got on top all the bars were closed so we were quite thirsty … it would be great if at least an vending machine would exist on top.

Our favourite part of visiting Capri Island. It is not so scary because you are so close to the ground and views are worth it.

If you go to Anacapri you definitely should visit Monte Solaro! Breathing views! We get a chairlift to go up and after that to return down. Definitely worth it.

Amazing views, perfect place for an aperol break (or beer/coffee/snack). There are also toilets on the top. Return ticket is 12 eur per person, please check working hours.

Hermosas vistas de toda la isla. Se puede llegar en telesilla o caminando. Mi experiencia fue caminando, pasando primero por Cetrella para después subir hasta Monte Solaro. Las vistas desde ese tramo del camino son sin dudas las mejores. Monte Solaro en sí está muy descuidado, el restaurant tiene precios muy altos, los baños no están muy limpios y se llena de gente. Lo que más recomiendo es hacer Cetrella, mucho menos concurrido e inmerso totalmente en la naturaleza. (Translated by Google) Beautiful views of the entire island. It can be reached by chairlift or on foot. My experience was walking, first passing through Cetrella and then going up to Monte Solaro. The views from that section of the road are undoubtedly the best. Monte Solaro itself is very neglected, the restaurant has very high prices, the bathrooms are not very clean and it gets crowded. What I recommend the most is to do Cetrella, much less crowded and totally immersed in nature.

Worth the ride up! You can hike up also, however the trail is mostly underneath the chair lift and not worth it imo.

Beautiful view but not breath taking, I would suggest someone to do something else. There are 2 bars up there but again, didn’t love it. The place overall is beautiful.

14 euros round trip. 11 euro for one way. At the top the views are amazing and there is a resturant (did not eat at). The chair lift is located in anacapri. We walked from Port to the chair lift. It is not fair but it is completely all stairs!!!! The views are amazing but pretty hard hike.

Great trip up to Monte Solaro via the cable car. So peaceful after the hustle and bustle of Capri and Anacapri. We didn't visit the cafe at the top but it looked nice. There were lovely distant views from the top, viewing platform and walks.

Highlight of the trip, fun chairlift ride with storage available at the bottom. Amazing views at all time and a small cafe at the top.

A must if you go to Capri island! You can go by walk or by the chairlift, but I strongly recommend the chairlift :)

Great views but a lot of tourists even in the beginning of the season. Took us almost 3 hours from the Capri porte to the summit and quite expensive, cheapest way up will cost about 23 euros per person. As for the location itself it's astounding and gives you panoramic view of the island and bay of Naples with a great view of Vizuvio volcano above Pompei

Wonderful views of Capri. Chair lift is fun and only takes 8 mins or so. Reasonably priced.

Highly recommend place. If you’re staying at Capri, you can take a bus to Anacapri. It costed us 4.2 euro for round trip ticket. The frequency was every 10 minutes. Then you stop at the center of Anacapri and go to the chairlift by foot for few meters. The view and the tranquility during the way up is priceless.

Beautiful hike along the sea which took us about 2 hours. We started at Grotta Azzura and hiked to Faro to enjoy the sunset and beach in the evening. You will need good shoes, enough water and a hat (it got quite hot during the afternoon). We stopped in the middle of the hike at a small and hidden but very beautiful quiet place to jump into the sea. It was a bit challenging to get into the sea because of the rocks and waves but worth it. Definitely a great hike to explore the island, being active and enjoy the evening with sunset at the lighthouse.

Best walk we had here. Start at the Grotto azure and walk to the lighthouse. Just fantastic also with kids. Good shoes are recommended but no necessary. Don’t forget water!

Mindblowing hike off the beaten track. Reasons to take this walk: the wild nature, the beautiful views from the cliffs - breathtaking at some points - and the only way to experience the bays Cala Del Serpe and Cala Del Rio from land. Also, if you are looking for a getaway from tourists, this is it. Practical info: bring good shoes, water, snacks, sunscreen, avoid the warmest hours, don't forget your camera. Start from the bus stop before the lighthouse Il Faro and walk towards the Blue Grotto rather than the other way around.

Great view! Worth to walk! There are buses to visit the area but there is a unique experience by walking! The capri iland must be visited by foot! It is a lot to walk but is worth it! The best views are not to be seen from the buss!

We did this in 1h20min. Strong pace and did not enjoy the views. Would recommend 5/5.

Dare it.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent walk that we did starting from the Grotta Azurra, direction that we recommend because it begins directly on the coast with breathtaking panoramas. The walk is beginner to intermediate level and requires good shoes. The walk is pleasantly covered about half the time. It took us 2.5 hours despite our stops to observe the landscape and a leisurely walking pace. Towards the end of the walk, near the lighthouse, expect a big steep climb for about 1 km. The trail was very lightly used when we went in September despite the amount of people present in the tourist areas. We had a hard time finding the trailhead, so be sure to ask the bus driver who can drop you off in front of the trailhead. To go to the Blue Grotto we took a bus from the port of Capri to Anacapri (they are about 150 meters on the right after leaving the port, follow the “ticket office” signs). Then arriving in Anacapri we walked about 100 meters following the main road slightly uphill to a small bus station offering buses going to the blue cave or fard. Arriving at the blue cave, you have to go back up the road by which the bus arrived and about 200 meters higher, on the right, you will find the start of the path which you just have to follow. (Original) Magnifique marche que nous avons fait en partant de la grotta azurra, sens que nous recommandons car elle commence directement sur la côte avec des panoramas à couper le souffle. La marche est niveau débutant à intermédiaire et nécessite de bonnes chaussures. La marche est agréablement couverte environ la moitié du temps. Nous avons mis 2h30 malgré nos arrêts pour observer le paysage et un rythme de marche tranquille. Vers la fin de la marche, proche du phare, attendez-vous à une grande montée bien raide pendant environ 1 km. Le sentier était très peu fréquenté quand nous y sommes allé en septembre malgré la quantité de monde présent dans les zones touristiques. Nous avons eu de la peine à trouver le début du sentier, donc n’hésitez pas à demander au chauffeur du bus qui pourra vous faire descendre devant le début du sentier. Pour aller à la grotte bleue nous avons pris un bus du port de Capri à Anacapri (ils se trouvent à 150 mètres environ sur la droite au sortant du port, suivre les panneaux « billeteries »). Ensuite arrivé à Anacapri nous avons marché environ 100 mètres en suivant la route principale légèrement en montée jusqu’à une petite station de bus proposant des bus allant à la grotte bleue ou au fard. Arrivé à la grotte bleue, il faut remonter la route par laquelle le bus est arrivé et environ 200 mètres plus haut, sur la droite, vous trouverez le début du sentier qu’il suffira de suivre.

Good view but I mean the struggle of getting there...I would not go there again. Very steep stairs and like lots of them. Not for unfit people unless they have all day. Inside not much to see. 10euro entry. There is a toilet inside. There is a cafeteria inside. Outside restaurant and gift shops and more pointless shops like chocolate place and sandals place.there is a 3200 years old sphinx to see. Well the back of it as it is overseeing the bay. Took me 15 min to see.

Really beautiful place. Breathtaking views, really friendly staff. We actually met the director of the villa. She is so amazing and nice!

Home of a famous doctor/writer, with great gardens, breathtaking view, statues. There is a coffee spot on its top. Worth visiting for sure.

Great view from the gardens, nicely maintained museum house, Roman and medieval style furniture. A bit of history and beautiful gardens. 10€ entrance. Saves you the seat up the hill.

The views from this place are unbelievable. We had a snack and some wine from the cafe there. Gorgeous views. The gardens are spectacular. If you happen to be a birder, the bird species there were a lovely surprise. We stayed up there several hours. It was a great find!!

It costs 10 euro. The garden is beautiful but nothing exceptional. You can have a spectacular view over the Island without entering the garden. It doesn't really worth going in.

The villa wasn't very exciting, but the gardens outside were stunning! The view from where the sphinx sits is absolutely fantastic! You can see a lot of the gardens from the terrace below the museum so you may not want to spend €10 to get in

A very lovely garden and absolutely stunning views. The villa itself was rather small and decorated with many old statues and even two Pompeian vases.

Magical, beautifully kept, impressive in every way, the best part of our tip. It seems most tourists for some inexplicable reason don't enter twhich of course mkes it ever more attractive.

Axel Munthe, who built this villa, was not only a doctor but also a bestseller author with exquisite taste and of an admirable intellectual independence. You pay 10 Euro to visit the villa and you get incredible value: a beautiful house and architecture, a garden as a small paradise, excellent antiquities, and above all a view of the Golf of Naples you may never forget and cherish forever. Its beauty will stay in my heart forever.

Bit expensive for what it is but great views Come here super early. Out of season and when we left pensioners stormed it like they did with the beaches of Normandy. Then you might not even go.

For me it was an amazing experience as I really wished to visit the Villa after reading the book some time ago. I have walked on the stairs for about 30 minutes, it's a little bit challanging but with some nice views along the way. The garden is amazing and the view is worth all the journey in the end. It was a rainy day so not so many tourists there, which for me was also a plus.

This place has its own vibe with old furniture and equipment from time, when Axel Munthe lived there. Also garden is worth to see - long arcade with creeping plants and best view on harbour and see at the end of it... If you want only make picture with nice view - don't pay 10€ entrance fee to vila and only continue your stroll trough pavement beside entry to villa with many beautiful shops to the rim of cliff...

The house does not rise to the same level as other beautiful places in Capri, but it offers a superb panorama over the Marina Grande in Capri. You can't kiss the sight offered. I warmly recommend it for an unforgettable view. The entrance price is 10 euros per person, quite a lot for what it offers inside, the garden is beautiful but not wow, but the view is incredible

Great history behind the Villa but equally stunning views from above over Capri really worth while visiting

Beautiful place with a beautiful story behind its construction by Axel Munthe. It costed us 10 euro per person to enter the house and travel around its gardens. You can enjoy the stunning view without paying for visiting the house itself and just walk around it.

Lovely baroque style church, built in 1719. It’s well worth a visit, to view the beautiful interior with its wonderful majolica floor. There’s a spiral staircase, which leads to a balcony where the floor can be viewed from above 😃😎

Gorgeous little church, very much a hidden gem- we didn’t know it was there til we stumbled apon it. Definitely worth the €2 entry fee, give it a visit if you’re able.

Off the beaten path but worth a look for the ceramic floor alone! €2 entry and you can look around yourself plus go upstairs to get better photos of the stunning floor. The shopping nearby is for locals, so it's a quiet and enchanting area.

UNIQUE work of Art on the FLOOR During our tour of Capri Island, I visited the San Michele Arcangelo Church on 3rd May 2019. This church built in the 18th century is located at Piazza San Nicola. The church had been built to an octagonal plan covered by a dome. The high altar stands beyond the Octagonal area and is of marble along with two figures of angels in white. The side altars are in 18th century wood. The statue of San Michele Angelico stands on a side on a wooden altar. Many beautiful paintings adorn the side walls. The octagonal floor, however, is the main attraction. Visitors can only walk on the wooden pavement on the periphery of the octagonal floor. It is an earthenware floor, decorated, glazed and fired to have a ceramic-like finish called 'majolica'. On this Majolica floor are figures of Adam and Eve, exiled from Paradise, a figure of an angel with a sword emphasizing the exile. In this mosaic of figures are plants and animals including the mythical unicorn. The figures are impressively attractive and beautiful, even though some are perhaps artist's fantasies. I was glad that the floor is well cared for to preserve its indescribable beauty and cultural heritage.

We went to the church (April 2023) although Google said it was temporarily closed, and found it was open. You pay 2€ entrance fee, but that is not so much, and it is certainly quite unique to see a tiled floor like that in a church... Worth it, we would say!

We randomly came across this beautiful little church and I’m glad we did! The floor is stunning. Definitely worth a visit

Floor depicting Adam and Eve and the tree of knowledge

The most stunning floor I have ever seen in a church!

It's a pretty nice walk and a good alternative to taking the bus if you want to go from Anacapri to the port. It took us 35 minutes from the centre of Capri to the ferry and it was really not that difficult, even at 22 weeks pregnant. Some of the previous comments made me expect much worse ;)

OMG one of the hardest and impressive adventure! Every should do this once in a life😄 We had spectacular view of Capri island while getting downstairs😍 We started at the Villa San Michelle in Anacapri and ended in port. There are 921 stairs. I just want to warn people who has the problems with knees, don’t go down stairs.

Beautiful route between Capri and Anacapri. Recommended if you like walking and/or hiking, and are willing to spend the time. Great for making pictures, and usually very quite.

Great way to discover Capri. The way is exhausting but the view is amazing.

1. Around 1.5hr walking pathways, not difficult and you could enjoy the sea sight 2. Not so many tourists

Definitely, don't climb it unless you are very athletic. I took it on the way down from Axel Munthe's house and my quads and calves hurt for days! I hear there are about 800 steps. It felt like 1000! The reward is the stunning views. I wish it were better marked, though.

Lots of stairs here. But it is definitely the worst to climb on the top. The picturesque view will be your great reward for long and exhausted climbing. You may see the scenic view of the Capri port and city from here. Can recommend it to you.

This is a tough climb worth doing if you're wearing comfortable shoes and clothing. Lots of stairs. Made the mistake of wearing jeans climbing up to the chairlift but it was still doable.

The rest of my trip to Capri was a dissappointment, so I was taking the bus back to the port from Anacapri to just wait it out, but fed up with no bus appearing in 30 minutrs and about 300 people in line ahead of us, we just walked. Not hard, but its a long way on uneven stone stairs, one should be reasonably fit. Most beautiful views to the Island and to Naples and Vesuvius

It is definitely worth taking this route. The views are amazing and the whole walk is great. Be sure you are careful as some of the areas are pretty steep and you can easily fall if you are in a hurry. I Would definitely make that walk daily when visiting just to take in the views you get.

Amazing experience going up this mountain. The views are incredible and really worth seeing. Be prepared to climb lots of stairs!
