Concierge.com's insider take:

Perched along one of Capri's most beautiful walking paths, this romantic 30-room boutique run by the Morgano family (of Quisisana fame) feels like a private villa above the sea. (The name means "little stairway," referring to the hotel's terraced layout, with entrance and reception at the top). It's the perfect place for an intimate tryst, with large rooms well-screened from other guests. The rooms and suites are luxurious and modern, with alcove beds, sunny marine color schemes, and tiled bathrooms; all have panoramic terraces. Some have two baths and whirlpools. The pool is tiny but delightful, with a snack bar and shade trees—though the plastic sun loungers lower the tone somewhat. Guests can make use of the Quisisana's facilities (for a fee) to practice their forehand or get a massage.

Open from Easter to the end of October.

In an "extremely serene locale nestled in a pine grove," this Moorish-style "little gem" overlooking the Faraglioni Rocks receives a perfect score for service. "Staff fall all over themselves for you." Interiors with wood, iron, and stucco "exude romanticism." An informal restaurant by the pool serves breakfast all day and a Mediterranean lunch but no dinner. Order a Scalinatella cocktail made with vodka, grapefruit juice, triple sec, blue curaçao, and parfait amour.
