What’s the neighbourhood scene like?

Immersed in the idyllic landscape of the island, the JK Place Capri boasts a tranquil location that is both secluded and surprisingly accessible. As the hotel is situated just a short distance from the Marina Grande, one can wander the cobbled streets and encounter the vibrancy of local markets, quaint shops, and atmospheric Capri restaurants. The panoramic views of the ocean, complemented by the stunning vista of the Gulf of Naples, create a serene backdrop for guests to bask in the natural beauty of Capri. The neighborhood truly captures the essence of an authentic Italian coastal town, studded with historical landmarks such as the Piazzetta and the Gardens of Augustus.

Take a stroll from the hotel and you'll find yourself engulfed in a world steeped in rich culture and tradition. The enchanting Blue Grotto, a well-known sea cave illuminated by an ethereal blue light, is also a stone's throw away. Fascinating archaeological sites like Villa Jovis beckon history enthusiasts, while fashion lovers can bask in the upscale boutiques just a leisurely walk away.

What’s the backstory?

This stunning hotel is a brainchild of oriental art collector and hospitality visionary, Ori Kafri. His journey began from an enraptured fascination with the serene beauty of Capri, an enchanting island gracing Italy's Bay of Naples. Known for its rugged landscape, upscale hotels and designer shops, the idyllic location perfectly matched Kafri's intent to establish an elegant, tranquil retreat for discerning travelers.

Embracing a sleek and modern outlook without sacrificing the innate charm and antiquity of Capri, JK Place Capri was raised from its bouts in 2007. The hotel brilliantly merges understated luxury and refined simplicity to provide an unrivaled experience. Settled beautifully over panoramic views of the Mediterranean and an easy stroll from the Marina Grande, it rapidly gained a reputation as a leading choice for both independent travelers and families.

Price Range

The rooms range from approximately $800 to $3,500 per night, depending on the type of room chosen and the season. The various packages and deals offered can also significantly impact the price. For instance, the hotel often offers various packages and deals that include things like a three-course dinner or a motorboat tour, which adds tremendous value to your stay. On the other hand, if you book your stay during the peak season, usually in the summer months, you should be prepared to spend a little more.

Amenities & Facilities

Beyond its tastefully appointed guest rooms, the hotel is brimming with amenities designed to increase comfort and cultivate serenity. From the full-service spa offering a menu of delectable wellness treatments, to the state-of-the-art fitness center, keeping up with your health routine is effortless here.

Now, imagine strolling through the property, before your senses are assaulted by the intoxicating aroma of over 3,000 unique flower species blooming in the lush hotel gardens. JK Place Capri is not just a hotel—it's a multisensory experience. For the consummate connoisseur, the onsite wine cellar houses an extensive selection of Italian and international vintages, perfect for sultry, moonlit evenings. And, for those who yearn for knowledge, the hotel library is stocked with a carefully curated selection of books and games.
