Antico Monastero di Anacapri

Unique and fascinating traditional bed & breakfast, well run by a lovely family, who were very helpful - we likely wouldn't have found such great places to go without their advice. We felt very welcome in the interesting and homely place, historic but with modern comforts. We had the one room without an en suite bathroom; don't be put off as it's close by, and completely private, as it would be in many private homes. Also, the coffee in the morning is excellent!

This is a family run B&B with 3 rooms, be aware that one of the rooms the bathroom is located outside the bedroom. Breakfast is served in their dinning room.

Property is 5 min walk from Mont Solaro. Carlo was an excellent host and very helpful in terms of advice regarding walks and places to visit

Perfect room at a reasonable price. The breakfast was amazing and the owner was very informative and pleasant.

The breakfast was good but the stay was odd and not for you if you require full privacy. We were required to leave our room key outside of our room whenever we left the building, and we later noticed that they come into your room when you’re gone quite frequently - for example there is a window facing the shower that opens to the hallway of the apartment and we shut it to shower and when we came back from town it was open again (and no cleaning was done). As two female travelers it made us kinda uncomfortable knowing we didn’t have total privacy from the hosts. The air conditioner didn’t work when we turned it on so we didn’t think to turn it off when we left for an hour into town and came back with a note on the AC unit asking to turn the unit off when we leave the building. I understand that there is keep up needed for an older building but it’s weird for hosts to enter as they please without consent.

Amenities and breakfast were great. However, when we arrived they informed us that we were not allowed to lock our doors. Red flag for two young women that are traveling internationally but we went along with it since they seemed kind and the location was great. The next day we left for only two hours and came back to a note in our room to keep air conditioner (that wasn’t even working) off. We also found the window to the bathroom open to the hall when we had closed it previously. Might be cultural differences but I found it highly inappropriate that they went into our room seemingly multiple times without consent. We’ve been traveling for a month and never had an experience where this was the norm. I would avoid this location or ask for specifics prior to booking.
