The Le Corbusier palace facing the Faraglioni, modernist architecture on Italy's most photographed coast.
Hotel Punta Tragara
From
1,614.546 €
“Two infinity pools carved into the rock, direct view of Capri's three iconic rocks.”
L'Hotel Punta Tragara occupies two modernist villas designed by Le Corbusier in 1920, perched at the end of the Via Tragara, the promenade leading to the Faraglioni. We stay in 44 rooms and suites with clean lines, white marble floors, private terraces facing the Tyrrhenian Sea. The two infinity pools are carved into the cliff, one heated all year round, the other open from May to October. The Punta Tragara Beauty Farm spa offers treatment cabins with views, hammam, Finnish sauna. The Monzù table serves contemporary Campanian cuisine on a terrace suspended 80 metres above the water. From 1 614 € per night, we pay for the position, the architecture, the discretion (Italian and Northern European clientele, few Americans). A palace that embraces its modernist heritage without yielding to the gilded codes of Capriote luxury ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend Punta Tragara to fans of modernist architecture seeking a discreet palace far from the Piazzetta and its worldly bustle. It's a hotel for couples in their forties and older, late honeymoons, romantic retreats off-season (April, October). Families with teenagers find their place here thanks to the duplex suites and two pools, but the clientele remains mostly adult and European.
