acquaintance Capri (capri) European favorite resort

noon the sea from the port town of Positano, andCapri to pick us up, Mr. Tony (Tonino Cacace) proceed with the cruise aboard the charming Capri (Capri Island).Tony is a tall, handsome classic Italian man, blue eyes, wearing a classic gentleman, carrying a brown Louis Vuitton only travel soft bag, the majority of the time he solemnly, but occasionally elegant and charming smile revealed.His presence undoubtedly adds this trip from the start of a mystery.He is a luxury family hotels Mid Capri Capri Palace's owner, is also a member of the Italian Association for Contemporary Art.

sitting on the other side of the deck, I am facing almost the entire ship tourists of varying color, but also face the wave ofPositano under the sun, listening ear, sound waves under the boat, feeling a little dizzy.In the Mediterranean against the background under a blue, everyone seems on board while some lazy, but still sparkle of.

19 th century began, Capri is the Mediterranean island of artists gathered in Europe, it seems to the Mediterranean on a beautiful melody floating, hovering in the old Italian folk song," Capri," the gay and the" return Sorrento" The Dream of between.It's past lives have been so Gorky, Mussolini, Sophia Loren and Elizabeth Taylor have made a stay, and this life has become a European one of the most favorite holiday.Here is also popular with many mysterious legends, said that as long as you boat around the Gulf Capri tall arched rock that it three times, a wish, the dream will come true; also stated that it was a canfind the love of the island.

cruise ship docked in the Cabri'sPier, looking back on the Mediterranean near a red lighthouse on the sea watch for this charming island.The beach near the pier is the Cabri market, a open-air cafe is a piece of landscape where it seems indispensable element, there is a clear signal to tell you, this place refused to loneliness.The island are all white stretch taxi convertible car, the warm Italian to accelerate the concentration present in an area where little.I look back a bit quiet afternoon, the Mediterranean, and then resorted into a holiday in Capri.

capri palace: beyond the five-star standard of private arts hotel

Tony takes us to a car all the way through the bustling seaside market, opened along the winding narrow road into the Mid-quiet town, he facesexposed on the look seems to reveal a strong self-confidence and expectations.Capri Palace Although he inherited his father's heritage, but now faces is that he single-handedly created the miracle.This is a standard of privacy beyond the five-star hotel, is the Hollywood stars of popular resorts, but the more appropriate location is a display of Italian contemporary art museum.Territory into the hotel from the start, many excellent works of art displayed on the 11, as long as 10 meters of water for the inspiration of the sculptures surrounding the swimming pool in the center layer, formed into the hotel corridor, and unfettered imagination, is itselfSmart on the scene into the Mediterranean.Spacious lobby decorated with more than five artists from paintings and sculptures, the connection to be the platform of the ornaments are rare works of art.

hotel rooms are each namedI live in a Magritte, the photograph of the famous painting" a man wearing a hat," the soul was installed in this room, every detail reveals the designer's understanding of the paintings, a hanging in the airthe hat on top of the wall in the bed, the heart will be so quiet down, into the magic of dreams.I like to open the room up in the morning and back garden and glass doors, sitting on the couch reading, or staring at the swimming pool filled with water that man wearing a hat, a kind of strange feeling, freeand idle.Interestingly, when you walk around the room when the mind will always be some illusion on the green apple.

spare time, went to town stroll outside the hotel.Cable car ride to the summit will also see the scenery, but I prefer the random walk time in the town.Capri is famous Italian handmade shoes of one of the town a lot of looks and humble shoe store, casually took out a pair, it is not put it down.I am curious coincidence, encountered a small shoe store, went to the original feel of the shoes can not get the right size, but it was soft, leather sandals, which both attracted to, it took several pairs of view, this time, a youngThe young man came up," I like the blue pair in your hand, you wear will look great, Cabri this place is blue, is not it? I have your size, want to try, it ischeap, as long as 15 euros." Is not it a surprise?I listened to his advice has tried on three pairs, then all buy it." These shoes are very comfortable with it, all I have to do a pair of a pair, the style will not be out of date and can be worn for a long time." This I noticed, had a place in the shop door, sat a lovely old, his handholding mold and the needle in, making shoes is one side, while looking toward me.I later learned, had he known that the town shoemaker Anthony (Antonio Viva), the town people like to call him old Anthony, just his young son.Old Anthony's shoes are very popular and many tourists from other parts of Italy will be here especially to his store a pair of shoes, sometimes, it is more like a souvenir, it is very Cabri Cabri color and theshoe.

a few of the days in Capri short staywould have to return to Rome because of work reasons, and then after the experience, so I feel a bit weird, which eventually also understand cause.Plan, after the end of the work will have long wanted to own to Sicily to complete a short trip, he was a completely unexpected stormy weather disrupted, leading to the hotel prior to booking air tickets and become void, had to make choices,or hanging around in Rome a few days, or directly home.But in frustration, I suddenly received the Tony's invitation after he learned that the weather in Sicily, they invited me back to Cabri.After a phone call, my heart filled with joy, that is what a fascinating place, the original will find life to once have been very lucky thing, however, short of 2 weeks, and can go back to re-seeCabri, re-see Tony.

return Cabri fate gave me the wonderful dream

him I arranged a train ticket from Rome to Naples and from Naples to Capri in the ticket terminal.The next morning, the hotel's car brings me sent to Rome's central train station.Immersed in a dream where I seemed to confirm that they are not dreaming, I bought a newspaper at the train station, take the train.Although time is not short, but not pay attention to the scenery, just listening to some trance music, to read before reading a novel.Somewhere, I went back to the beautiful Cabri.

this time I was that he arranged to the top floor of the largest suite, the bedroom at the top of the window can open beheld stars, and the room outsideroof garden facing the Mediterranean and the whole town.We had wine, far apart to talk, just know that my father had left the hotel just an ordinary resort, the number of rooms more than the current more than doubled, but the love of art after he inherited, sothe important decisions, the size of the room to expand, reducing the number of invited designers carefully carried out for each room a whole new design, and to his many years on the inside works of art collected only to become a unique hotelHis success influenced the Cabri.Tony is an artist, is also a workaholic.Throughout the year apart from a few months of winter, he would go on a trip and in their own house and take care of his dog outside every day in the intensive work.

the next few days, I first saw the legendary sea Capri Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra), boatman Huazhexiaochuantook me into the hole, deep blue water slowly fluctuate with the boatman began to sing Italian opera, a strong voice echoed through the cave, the United States was a mess; also told me that Tony was along a long path, from the hotelAfter a quiet Catholic cemetery, blocks of color through the roof of the house, looking through the open-air coffee shop one by one the sea, winding, cliff all the way to the end of the blooming boundless stretch of sea front, whereI wrote a letter to Tony, thanks for the way of care.Was also encountered a large spider, put it in the direction of reticulated viewing platform of channels, surprisingly, it has not been damaged a little, one possibility is that too few people come here,The other possibility is that people are not willing to destroy it just built for themselves at the seaside hammock; back to the hotel on the road, of course I remember back to the old shoemaker and his Anthony hello there, because before the Road Do not say goodbye I do not know the date,So when he saw me again, first showing a look of surprise, but then laughed, said:" is inseparable from here, right?" I answered yes.Have to admit that sometimes fate will bring you a wonderful illusion, so you can not figure out, but fun.

on before leaving the day before, Tony drove his antique boat took me to his club in the sea, a coastal restaurant Il RiccioIt was a sumptuous Mediterranean-style lunch, where a favorite name to Capri salad, a fresh tomato and mozzarella cheese (Buffalo Mozzarella), basil, and olive oil made, mouth of the cardBuffalo Brie cheese because it can not long-term preservation, only here can you eat most fresh and authentic.It's like the kind of Capri eyeful have seen the blue, the same can not be transplanted or replicated.

Capri Palace owner Tony is also a charming legend of Capri.
