How to get there

1

From Naples to Capri

The island of Capri is reached by ferry or hydrofoil from the port of Naples. There are two departure options:

  • Calata di Massa — ferries (slow, ~80 min)
  • Molo Beverello — hydrofoils (fast, ~40–50 min)

🚅 Arriving by train (from Napoli Centrale):

From the station, take Metro Line 1 towards Piscinola:

  • Stop at «Università» → 5-minute walk to Calata di Massa (ferries)
  • Stop at «Municipio» → 5-minute walk to Molo Beverello (hydrofoils)

🛬 Arriving by plane (from Capodichino airport):

Take the Alibus ANM shuttle that connects the airport to the port every 15–25 minutes from 5:30 AM till midnight. Tickets can be bought on board, at airport vending machines, or online. The Alibus stops at both Porta di Massa (for Calata di Massa) and Molo Beverello/Angioino.

💡 Coming soon: a new Metro Line 1 station directly at Capodichino airport is expected to open in late 2026 / early 2027. Check updates at anm.it.

From Sorrento:

Travellers arriving by Circumvesuviana or from the Amalfi Coast can board a direct hydrofoil from Sorrento to Marina Grande (20–30 min).

From Marina Grande to Anacapri

All boats dock at Marina Grande, Capri's only harbour. From there you can reach Anacapri in three ways:

🚌 Direct bus (recommended)

After disembarking, continue to the end of the pier and turn right: the ATC ticket office is on your right. Buy a ticket for Anacapri, then wait in the dedicated bus lane. The bus will take you directly to Anacapri, without changes.
Via Pagliaro is the fourth stop once in Anacapri.

🚡 Via Capri (funicular + bus)

If you'd like to stop at the Piazzetta first: take the funicular on the left of the pier exit, then board the bus from Piazza Martiri d'Ungheria (a one-minute walk from the Piazzetta) to Anacapri.

🚕 Taxi

Always available at the pier exit.

Each leg of the journey takes about 15–20 minutes; allow 30–40 minutes in total including waiting time, more in peak season.

🕐 Bus and funicular timetables: capri.it/it/orari-autobus
⚠️ All tickets are single-journey and must be bought before boarding.

Once in Anacapri: the final stretch

Ask the driver to stop at Via Pagliaro (the fourth stop in Anacapri, next to the Bar Grotta Azzurra).

Once off the bus, follow Via Pagliaro for about 70 metres: on your right you will find an archway marked number 16. Walk through and follow the path to the end — on your left, two steps lead up to the gate.

Location relative to the city centre: the house is a one-minute walk from Via Giuseppe Orlandi, Anacapri's main pedestrian street (supermarkets, shops, bars, restaurants). The nearest supermarket is Dodecà, visible on the map. The church of St. Sophia is just 150 meters away as the crow flies and the bell tower is visible from the terrace.

Household instructions

Finding your way around the house

📺 TV and lights

The TV remote is in the cabinet below the television. Remote controls for air conditioning and lights (floor lamp and lampshades) are available in each room.

📚 Books, music & games

The living room bookcase features local guides and books in several languages, a stereo, a rechargeable Bluetooth speaker, and board games for the whole family.

🍽️ Kitchen & tableware

The kitchen is fully equipped. Glasses and cups are in the cabinet; pots and plates in the lower corner cupboard; cutlery and linens in the drawers.

💧 Water

High-quality drinking water (microfiltered and sterilized with silver ions) is available from the three-way faucet in the sink (using the small knob).

🧺 Soaps & cleaning products

In the ground-floor bathroom, the mirror doubles as a cupboard door: inside you will find laundry soap and cleaning products.

🧹 Cleaning and ironing

The white cabinet after the entrance arch in the living room contains a vacuum cleaner and a broom. Next to it is the ironing board — the iron is in the white cabinet in the kitchen.

🗑️ Waste collection

As a holiday rental, we have subscribed to the municipality's daily collection service: you can put out waste every day — simply leave your sorted bags outside the gate in the evening and they will be collected the following morning.

The containers for organic waste and unsorted waste are under the kitchen sink; the containers for all other waste (plastic and cans, paper and glass) are located in the outside storage room, accessible through the small white doors to the right of the front door (all the bags are behind the top door, the colored bins are underneath):

Waste type Container
🔵 Recyclables (plastic & metal)Blue bag
⬜ General wastePlain bag (bin under the sink)
🟤 Organic wasteSmall white bag in the brown perforated bin
🟢 GlassDirectly, without a bag
📦 Paper & cardboardAny bag (flatten boxes first)
⚠️ Sorted waste collection is mandatory in Anacapri. Thank you for your help!
