In a grand debut this summer, Hotel La Palma unveiled itself as the first Oetker Collection Masterpiece Hotel in Italy, rekindling the timeless allure of this fabled Italian island. Over two centuries old, the original hotel has been meticulously restored to serve as a sophisticated Mediterranean sanctuary for contemporary travelers.

 

Culinary Excellence by Chef Gennaro Esposito

Under the culinary mastery of Chef Gennaro Esposito, Hotel La Palma has become a gastronomic haven. With a remarkable 23-year tenure at his own two-Michelin Star restaurant, Torre del Saracino in Vico Equense, Naples, Chef Esposito brings a wealth of experience to the hotel's dining experiences. The flagship restaurant, Gennaro's, embodies the 1950s Capri charm, offering a warm and relaxed atmosphere. The menu features authentic Italian classics with Esposito's signature flair, including dishes like homemade cavatelli pasta with zucchini, basil, and caciocavallo podolico cheese, and turbot with green bean pesto and potatoes.

La Palma Bar & Terrace - A Scenic Oasis

La Palma Bar & Terrace, overlooking the bustling streets of Capri, provides a front-row seat to Via Vittorio Emanuele. Guests can enjoy light lunches with dishes like spinach and avocado salads or opt for a chic yet relaxed dinner with options like Ravioli capresim and grilled fish of the day. Dessert delights include Neapolitan 'babà' and house-made gelato, all complemented by a refreshing Capri Spritz.

Bianca - Rooftop Glamour and Culinary Excellence

Bianca, the newly built rooftop garden restaurant and lounge bar, offers breathtaking views over Capri Village and the sea. Chef Esposito serves quintessentially Italian favorites with his unique twist, from crudo and ravioli to Josper-cooked seafood and steaks. The open kitchen and central bar create an electric atmosphere. DJs, saxophonists, aperitivo trolleys, and Champagne carts ensure unforgettable evenings.

Aqua Bar - Poolside Elegance

Hotel La Palma features a newly installed pool, overlooked by the elegant Aqua Bar, exclusively for hotel guests. The bar offers innovative cocktails paired with healthy salads and international classics, including a Club Sandwich.

Da Gioia by La Palma - Beachfront Bliss

A short drive to the southern coast of the island leads to Da Gioia by La Palma, an elegant beach club in the Marina Piccola. It offers fresh, locally sourced Italian flavors, including aubergine parmigiana, lobster pasta, and salt-crusted catch of the day. With 42 sun loungers and a private beach, it's an idyllic spot for basking in the Italian sun. Da Gioia by La Palma is open to both residents and non-resident guests, promising a carefree escape on the stunning island of Capri.

Hotel La Palma beckons travelers to savor the essence of Capri's charm, culture, and cuisine, making it an irresistible destination on this iconic Italian island.
