This is a unique opportunity to discover and enjoy the island of Capri. Set in a quiet part of the island and surrounded by a typical mediterranean garden this small house overlooks the sea and coastline and has amazing views. It has recently been refurbished in typical Capri style so is bright and airy with its white-washed walls and cool blue tiles. There is a bedroom with double bed, bathroom with shower and in the living room there is a pullout sofa bed (one single), dining table and chairs, fully equipped kitchen corner with gas cooker, microwave oven, fridge and sink.
In front of the house there is a shady terrace with table and chairs to enjoy a leisurely meal while watching the boats go by.A few steps lead to the sun roof with comfortable deck chairs so you can have a drink while the sun sets behind the island of Ischia.A path and steps through the garden take you to the large swimming pool which is set into a secluded part of the garden and overlooks the sea.It is shared with the owners, whose villa is built on a lower part of the grounds and does not disturb the privacy of the guests in any way.While walking through the garden you are welcome to any herbs, vegetables or fruit that grow on the extensive property. Because of the terraces and different levels this property is not suitable for children.If you should need a washing machine there is one at your disposal with iron and ironing board.
On arrival you will find a welcome pack of 'goodies' such as: tea, coffee, fresh milk and bread, butter, jam, biscuits so you can relax and unwind straight away. The bus stop is 50 mt. from the gate and a regular bus service will take you in a few minutes to Anacapri(1,5Km and full facilities) or down to the Blue Grotto.

2 weeks of relaxation and activity in Anacapri

Louise and I had a very memorable and relaxing two week stay with Candace and Peppino at La Chimera. In fact, we were made to feel right at home and after two weeks, we felt as though we were becoming “Anacaprese”! The view from the terrace is breathtaking as we watched boats float past during the day and then as we had a drink and watched the sunset that everyone aspires to see. We have been to the Isle of Capri to stay four times and we love Anacapri as it is away from the “glitter and beautiful people” of Capri. We had some great food and wine and every local would return our conversation (even in our very poor Italian)! Each day, we walked trail after trail around and across the island and then spent the afternoon in the pool overlooking the sea – how idyllic! I recommend this cottage and especially if you like walking as there are so many options up and back to Anacapri and all of the other walking tracks nearby. Paul and Louise, Sydney, Australia

Cathy and I had a wonderful visit to Italy. Our stay with you was most memorable. Sitting on the veranda was as pretty as it gets anywhere. We particularly enjoyed visiting with you and sincerely appreciate all of your help in hospitality. Your flexibility and working around our volcano travel issues was greatly appreciated. I will definitely recommend to my friends that this is the place to stay on the island of Capri.

We spent a wonderful 2 weeks in September on Capri. The view from the terrace is breathtaking and the apartment, although not generous on space is more than adequate. We loved Anacapri - less starry than Capri town but more real with great shops and food. We had some of the best food and wine of our lives! I really recommend this cottage - the only reason I don't want to is that we may find it booked when we want to go back there!

Just got back from 11 days in Italy. All was fun, but our 4 day stay with Candace and Peppino was the highlight. The setting is wonderful. You are high above the sea looking out over the boats pulling into the cove to see the Blue Grotto, which is a 5 minute bus ride away. Coffee in the morning, and a drink at night from the patio in front of our cottage greeting and closing out our days was a favorite part of our stay....sooo peaceful. We are sun worshipers so a few hours a day at the private pool was enjoyed. Everything on the island is reachable by buses which are convenient and inexpensive...the rides are ADVENTURES, as the roads were built for Roman Chariots and not buses, yet the drivers zip around like they are on an Interstate Hwy. The property is beautifully landscaped and show lots of TLC and planning for many years. The cottage is cozy. Not a lot of room but the extra patio space and views make up for it. The town of Anacapri is very friendly and comfortable. many good restaurants & shops. The people there are out strolling in the evenings and you feel a great sense of community and safety. The owners were very helpful, were there when you needed to contact them and very helpful with suggestions and assisting with arrangements. We will be back and we recommend it for anyone who is looking for a memorable romantic getaway.

Michele and I had such a great and wonderful experience. We keep telling each other that we wish we were back at The Chimera. The studio was even better than you described. We were very comfortable, everything worked, well stocked with necessities, excellent tour guide books and maps available and even better, your personal recommendations. The only regret we had was not spending more time at the pool, it is so beautiful. Although we were very busy seeing the sites and going to restaurants, we left many more sites and restaurants to explore when we return. The apartment was an excellent value and we highly recommend others to come and experience first-hand what we did. We felt at home immediately due to your warm and charming hospitality. Thanks you for the best trip we ever had. Dennis & Michele
