History
Founded by Ori Kafri, J.K. Place Capri is a 22-key seafront villa designed by Michele Bönan, the flagship of the J.K. Collection (Capri, Florence, Paris, Roma).
The only luxury hotel on Capri built directly into the coastal cliffs above Marina Grande — a 22-room villa designed by Michele Bönan, opened in 2007 — with an unobstructed panorama of the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius from its clifftop position, holding a Forbes Five-Star and Michelin Three Keys as of 2025–26.
The setting
Above Capri's Marina Grande port on Via Provinciale Marina Grande, J.K. Place Capri occupies a villa dating to the late 19th century — originally the Hotel Continental, a discreet retreat for Italian nobility, and the only luxury hotel on the island built directly into the coastal cliffs above the harbour. Marina Grande beach, the island's main port beach and embarkation point for Blue Grotto excursions and mainland hydrofoils, is seven minutes on foot. The clifftop position commands an unobstructed panorama of the Bay of Naples with Vesuvius on the horizon — a more contemplative arrival than the Piazzetta crowds inland — setting a tone of intimate, cliff-anchored luxury on an island whose entire identity is built around elevated sea views.
