Sina Flora Capri
Capri, Italy · Sina Hotels · Accessible Luxury
Sina Hotels turned sixty in 2018 and bought itself a present: the old Villa Flora, a house the Vuotto family had grown into a hotel in the 1960s and then handed down through a run of Capri families. Twenty-four rooms and junior suites, each with its own balcony or terrace, are floored in hand-painted majolica in ochre, blue and green under white vaults. The garden and pool look across to the Faraglioni and the Certosa di San Giacomo, with the Piazzetta and Via Camerelle a short walk downhill.
- 24 rooms
- Neighborhood: Capri town
- Rooms from 215 sq ft (20 m²)
About Sina Flora Capri
- The purchase gave Sina Hotels its eleventh owned property and its first address in southern Italy, bought by the Bocca family group to mark sixty years in business.
- Entry-level rooms start at 215 sq ft (20 m²).
History
The hotel's story starts in the 1960s, when a modest Capri residence a few steps from the Piazzetta was enlarged by the Vuotto family into the Villa Flora Hotel. It then passed through a succession of local families, each taking a turn at running it, until 2018, when Sina Hotels bought the house to mark the group's sixtieth anniversary. The purchase brought the Bocca family group, led by Bernabo Bocca with his sister Matilde Bocca Salvo, to eleven owned hotels and gave it its first flag in southern Italy.
There are twenty-four rooms and junior suites, all with a private balcony or panoramic terrace, furnished in Mediterranean style and decorated with hand-painted majolica in the colours of the surrounding landscape: ochre for the light, blue for sea and sky, green for the vegetation and red for the fruit, set against the white of the vaulted ceilings. A panoramic pool and solarium sit in the garden, and breakfast is served at the poolside through the warm months.
The setting
Via Federico Serena runs just below the Piazzetta, close enough that the hotel is a few minutes from the square Capri calls the drawing room of the world, and from Via Camerelle where the luxury shops are, but set back far enough to be quiet. The garden and terraces look toward the Faraglioni, the three sea stacks off the island's southern shore, and down onto the Certosa di San Giacomo, the fourteenth-century Carthusian monastery. The Gardens of Augustus, Via Krupp and Punta Tragara are all within a walk, and the Blue Grotto and the boats for Pompeii, Herculaneum, Naples and Sorrento leave from Marina Grande below.
