Hotel Bussola di Hermes in Anacapri

This hotel is a true gem: aside from its quiet location in one of Anacapri’s side alleys it stands out for its cleanliness, the hospitality, the professional & lovable owners & staff, lovely decor and amenities!
The welcome upon checking in was warm and very individual: I received lots of useful information (also in the following days). On top, the owners and the staff was always ready for a small chat and they asked me about my plans and how days went.
The room was sparkling clean, had a refrigerator, aircon/heating, safe. The view from my window/balcony lovely. I slept like a baby as it was quiet.
Breakfast was typically Italian with various cornettos and freshly made coffee specialties plus cold cuts, cheese and some cereals.
The hotel also has a fantastic pool area with small pool bar.
I had a wonderful time and hope to come back!

Incredible ambiance and staff

We felt this was a great value for level of accommodations. The staff was very kind and helpful. The breakfast was one of the few I really enjoyed in Europe (Americans like protein for breakfast!) Unfortunately there was no outdoor eating area as pictured that I had envisioned but they mentioned there were some things under construction outside that will be open soon. Do know it is a pleasant 7 min walk to town. Also note that it is the high mountainous area of Anacapri which is a long ride down the cliff to any beach areas. This would not have changed our choice but we would have gone to the beach the first day before checking in if we would have known. The taxis are quite expensive to get anywhere and uncharge you for breathing. Great place, stay here. Eat, sleep and be merry!

The staff is amazing, the place is a great place for great holidays

The owners were very nice and helpful in making plans. They even called and made sure our plans were arranged properly. We had dinner reservations and they confirmed our pickup. We also had a private boat tour around Capri scheduled and they called the company to make sure they didn’t waste our time sitting for two hours waiting to get into the blue grotto. The breakfast was a smaller selection but it’s also a smaller place. They made our cappuccinos fresh instead of using a self service machine. And, they didn’t charge us extra for the breakfast like some places did. The room was decent. The bathroom was small but serviceable.
Since the hotel is in Anacapri the streets are very, very small. The taxis won’t go all the way to the hotel because they can’t fit down the street. The owner sent a driver to get us from a meeting point. It is walkable to the town center and to a meeting point. The taxi ride to Capri is a bit expensive but necessary because it it definitely not walkeable as it’s straight up a mountain.

Awesome experience for family of 5
Great location, Rita was extremely helpful with directions and shuttled us to bus station to save some tome

What a wonderful hotel! All the staff was super helpful and amazing! Rita is a delight and helps with your every need. We would definitely stay here again! Streets were well lighted for evening walks into town. Walkable to restaurants, shops and historic sites.

In general, the island is still quite inconvenient, especially the town of Anacapri. You have to wait for the bus, and you don't know where the bus stop is when you first arrive. Buses abroad usually take a long time to wait. There is nothing fun at night. In fact, it is better to stay in Sorrento. Bussola is at least a hotel, and there are people serving at night. Soda is 2 euros a bottle, which is expensive. If it is a B&B, it will be even worse. The good thing is that you can really see the sea from their terrace! There are many beautiful imitation sculptures. There are no toiletries, no toothbrushes, and even no shampoo and shower gel.

The food, the service and the room were super clean. The food

The enthusiastic landlord picked us up and dropped us off enthusiastically. Thank you very much! It was a pleasure to live here.
