For that touch of Italian snobbery and extreme show off experience, Capri is the place.
Once upon a time it was a place to mingle with artists, real movie stars, undercover  Heirs and get a whiff of their fame.
Now only the show off part remains and the new money attitude, spread around like another Montecarlo, is a front without anything behind and if there is something behind those bling bling, well...it belongs to a shadowy world, you do not want to explore.

Still, Capri remains a dream of an island: difficult to explain it in words (probably for me), like Venice if you are not there you will not understand.
Few things I can describe from my experience there: the concentration in a very tiny place (most of the social life happens "in Piazzetta" and around it) of everything stereotypical of Italy or what the American movies project of Italy.
The thing is: it is true.

Well, in Capri actually, those stereotypes are true and also kept alive by the act, yes the act of being what the people from there, simply are: warm, loud, funny, great momentary friends, all experts in food and with a great joie de vivre.
Plus add the fashion components and all the top Fashion Brands you can imagine and: " Les jeux sont faits".

All the above on this charming little rock, really a rock, I think there are only 2 very very small sandy coves.
A little rock around one hour by ferry from Napoli which is another Italian real stereotype on its own.

The garbage story is actually another ugly reality of another jewel, Napoli, another jewel of that splendid Crown that is:  Italy.


So, beside these sentimentalisms, I have an address for you; I have not stayed in these charming apartments but a few days there in Anacapri will make you feel on top of the world. Really and truly: class + nature + great food and relaxation in style.
