The Bussola di Hermes is about the only budget option on Capri but that doesn't mean services and conditions are any less Capri style. Rita and Ciro really take pride in their place, they are fantastically attentive hosts (Ciro even makes the croissants they serve you in the morning!) and the amount of information Rita gives you about things to do on the island is extraordinary.
At the time of this review they are in the middle of renovations, but when it's finished this place will be pretty special. There are garden spaces, rooftop terraces, columns, statues, wine making equipment and more to add to the atmosphere. No room has more than six beds and usually each room has access to a bathroom.
The other travellers were very friendly and there seemed to be a number of repeat visitors also. The only unfortunate thing perhaps is that there is no communal kitchen to use, although I understand that has something to do with the licensing and not that they don't want to accomodate people cooking.
