The Garden of Eden exists.
On the island of Capri, at Villa Eva...

If you're longing for peace, tranquility, and breathtaking views
If you want to feel less like a tourist and more like a local
If you've ever dreamed of staying in an authentic island home

...you're going to love Villa Eva!

What makes Villa Eva different from other hotels on the island?

Rooms like cottages

More like little cottages than hotel rooms, each of Villa Eva's bedrooms has its own independent entrance and private outdoor area.

A hotel like home

Villa Eva is no ordinary hotel. It's a guest-house, but it's also the Parlato's family home - and they're ready to help, 24hrs a day!

A gorgeous garden

Giant cacti, amazing orchids, trees laden with lemons... experience the natural beauty of Capri in Villa Eva's garden.

Fairytale architecture

Open the door and enter the magical world of Villa Eva, a world in which an exotic mix of Mediterranean, Catalan and Moorish-influenced architecture results in a triumph of domes, columns, turrets and terraces.

Off the beaten track

Villa Eva is located in the wildest part of the island, where you'll find only the occasional guest house and the homes of those islanders eager to escape the tourist crowds. Total tranquility, just ten minutes away from the center of Anacapri!

Poolside pleasures

The pool, in the garden, is the ideal place in which to kick-start the day with a refreshing swim or unwind after a day's sightseeing. Want to go home with an authentic Mediterranean tan? Soak up the sun on Villa Eva's panoramic terrace!

Meet the family •

Villa Eva is located on the island of Capri, in Anacapri, the pretty little town on the slopes of Monte Solaro, which, for centuries, has been the preferred retreat of artists and intellectuals. Make your way along the little lanes and the narrow paths between gardens, and you'll find Villa Eva.

Vincenzo Parlato, the hotel's eccentric owner (the guy with the long white beard!), personally constructed the villa, brick by brick.

Vincenzo, dedicated the eclectic edifice to his wife, the ever-smiling Eva. Today, the hotel is managed by their son, Carlo and his wife, Alma.

Welcome to Villa Eva!

How to get here •

Villa Eva is a 15/20 minute walk from the center of Anacapri.

The Damecuta archeological park is just a few meters away. It will take you about 20/30 minutes on foot to reach the island's legendary Grotta Azzurra. If you don't want to walk, you can catch a bus to the Grotta Azzurra, or the center of Anacapri, from the bus stop (2/3 minutes from the hotel).

To reach Villa Eva from the port of Capri, you can either take a taxi (the fare will be about 30/35 euro) or catch a bus (1,80 euro for a single ticket). If you choose to travel by public transport, take the bus to Anacapri and get off at Piazza Pace. From here you'll need to take a second bus, to the Grotta Azzurra, and ask the driver to stop at Villa Eva. You'll find detailed instructions of how to reach Villa Eva, together with a map, on the pdf file. However you decide to travel, let us know at what time you will be arriving and, if we are free, we'll be happy to come and collect you from the center of Anacapri!

• The things our guests loved most •

It was just like being at home! If you want to feel like an islander for a day, rather than a tourist, you're in the right place!
Alfonso, Napoli

The pool might have been small but, after a day spent walking and mucking about on the beach, it was lovely to come back and go for a refreshing swim!
Isabella, Catania

The rooms were nice and cool (we didn't bother using the air conditioning) and the windows all had mosquito netting. Everywhere was spotlessly clean.
Chris, Lugano

We could tell the place was going to be beautiful from the photos, what we weren't expecting was the incredible courtesy and kindness of the staff ... we were made to feel so at home!
