Not a positive stay because of an unusual circumstance at breakfast and after departing property, but worth sharing.The property is a steep but short hike up from bus station, arrange for a ride up if you have luggage. The view is great, rooms are pleasant, check in was fine and a nice, but small pool deck on upper level. First issue started at breakfast, coffee was warm at best and when adding milk became cool instantly. When brought to the attention of Costanza, he argued about it, but brought hot coffee and milk afterwards, why the argument? Classless. Breakfast is specified as a buffet and is included, it's limited in variety, but okay. Don't go for a second croissant, I was sharply rebuked in Italian and then told it was one per person, again, classless. Costanza's parents run the breakfast service and do not speak any English. As everywhere in Italy, no sound insulation, noisy rooms.The weather turned cold and windy for our departure and the ferry service was halted, we managed to get away.To be fair, our stay was fine other than the breakfast issue, and the noise. It was afterwards that I have a big problem with. We had been travelling for a month, had suffered with illness and fatigue. In our haste to move on to Rome, I left 2 pairs of very nice shoes in the room. When we contacted Costanza, it was complete denial, no shoes. I run a vacation property in Canada, people leave things often, important to be honest and return them
Lovely B&B with a fantastic view. Costanzo was great with prompt and easy communication. They had free arrival/departure transportation with our luggage from/to a nearby bus stop. This was much appreciated due to the many steps up to their fantastic view. We’re in our mid fifties with bad knees so we found the steps challenging. But we thought the place was quite charming.
Best view on the whole island. The owner is helped us with our bags from Ana Capri and helped us down with the bags leaving anacapri. Best place I ever stayed in. Worth the money. If I could give it 10 stars I would.
Monte Solaro BnB is a little gem in Anacapri! Breath taking views and true Italian family hospitality, away from the main hustle and bustle of Capri. Constanzo went above and beyond his call of duty when we needed help arranging transport ( ferry, buses and taxi) getting to places around the island, ideas on what to do and when and restaurant/ food recommendations . The hotel is located high up and requires you to ascend a steep hill with some stairs ( the view when you get there is worth it!) , keep this in mind if mobility or fitness are important considerations for where you stay. Constanzo will collect you in a vehicle from the bottom of the hill with your luggage on arrival. We’d definitely come back and recommend Monte Solaro.
Fantastic views. A nice pool on the roof top and amazing breakfast prepared by Anna-Maria.
You should be mindful that the residence is up a VERY steep hill. This was managing for us, but I can imagine it would be a struggle if you don’t have an adequate fitness level. Constanso collected us from the bus stop when we arrived with our luggage and I understand from other guests that you can arrange to be picked up from the bottom of the hill if required, however we didn’t do this.
It was a fabulous stay, but please be mindful of the hill if you will struggle to come and go.

Constanzo picked us up for the bus station in Anacapri and took us up the hill to our accommodation. We cannot express how impressed we were with everything about the hotel, especially the view. Would highly recommend this place to anybody and I’m sure we’ll be back at some point. Thank you very much for your hospitality Constanzo.
