Capri instantly brings to mind dramatic cliffs, sun-drenched white villas, luxury shops clustered around the Piazzetta and yachts anchored in the bay. But you can absolutely experience the island’s magic without emptying your wallet. This guide is for savvy travelers who want to stay in charming, well-located, clean and well-run bed & breakfasts on Capri—without paying five-star hotel prices.
Below you’ll find ten B&Bs chosen for their value, authentic Capri character and practical amenities: proximity to key sights (Marina Grande, the Piazzetta, Villa Jovis, Monte Solaro), generous breakfasts, transfer tips and tricks to avoid peak-times on the funicular. For each place I give the exact address, a price range in euros, check-in and breakfast hours, an immersive description and local tips to help you make the most of your stay (booking boats for the Blue Grotto, hiking the Sentiero dei Fortini, or where to find the best local mozzarella).

I also cover recommended transfers from Naples port or Naples–Capodichino airport, key service schedules (Marina Grande to Piazzetta funicular hours), and practical advice—when to buy tickets, how to avoid summer traffic, or where to get an authentic espresso without overpaying.

1. B&B Villa Luna — Via Matteotti 12, Capri Centro
Address: Villa Luna, Via G. Matteotti 12, 80073 Capri (NA). Price: from €75 per night for a double room (low season), €120 in high season. Hours: check-in 14:00–22:00, check-out by 11:00. Breakfast served 08:00–10:30.
Description: Villa Luna is a small family-run B&B a five-minute walk from the Piazzetta and the funicular stop. The white façade is draped in bougainvillea and the rooms, decorated in a Mediterranean style, often have a balcony overlooking narrow streets or the sea. Breakfast is served in the flowered patio: homemade brioche, local jams, fresh Campania fruit and quality espresso. The owners provide maps and tips for hikes like the Pizzolungo path and the climb to Monte Solaro.
Practical tips: book early if you want a room with a balcony—Villa Luna fills up fast in high season. To reach Marina Grande (ferries and water taxis) allow 10–15 minutes on foot or take a local bus. The Piazza Umberto I funicular typically runs 06:45–23:00 in summer; check current times with the B&B. For an affordable dinner, try Da Paolino (Via Provinciale Marina Grande 224), famous for its lemon-tree courtyard—arrive early or reserve a table.
2. Casa Bianca al Faro — Via Tragara 49, near the Faraglioni

The vibe is intimate and it attracts guests looking for calm and sea views. Hosts provide picnic baskets for boat trips and maps for coastal walks down to Marina Piccola.
Tips: bring comfortable shoes to reach Punta Tragara—there are lots of steps. From Casa Bianca al Faro it’s about a 15-minute walk to the Piazzetta; to save money take the local bus towards Marina Grande (stop “Capri, Via Tragara”). If you want to visit the Blue Grotto, book a morning tour (shorter waits) and haggle with the boatmen—group trips typically run €40–€60 per person, season depending.
3. Il Nido dei Faraglioni — Via Le Botteghe 7, Anacapri

Rooms often feature tiled floors and blue shutters, with a rustic-chic charm. The garden at the back is a lovely spot for breakfast—local cheeses, focaccia, coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice make up the morning spread.
Practical tips: Anacapri is less crowded than the Piazzetta—take advantage and visit Villa San Michele (Via Capodimonte 4, 80071 Anacapri), usually open 09:00–19:00 (times vary off-season), entrance roughly €6–€8. The Anacapri–Capri bus runs often, but in summer try to travel early to avoid the rush.

Description: This budget B&B stands out for its secret garden—a quiet inner courtyard filled with lemon trees and jasmine; a discreet luxury in the heart of Capri. Rooms are basic but immaculate, often with a mini-fridge and a fan (air-conditioning available on request for an extra charge). Staff offer excellent tourist info to organise hydrofoil transfers from Naples and book taxi-boats for private mini-cruises.
Practical tips: Giardinetto Sorpresa is perfect for travelers spending their days on excursions and wanting a peaceful place to sleep. To save money, buy a return funicular ticket (Marina Grande–Piazzetta) in advance when possible; in high season queues can top 45 minutes. For an affordable meal, head to Ristorante Aurora (Via Casciaro 15) for generous, local-style portions.

Some rooms have direct sea views while others face the main street leading to the pier. Breakfast is hearty and the property offers luggage storage if you want to enjoy the day after check-out.
Practical tips: Proximity to the port means occasional noise—ask for a courtyard-facing room if you prefer quiet. Book your hydrofoil crossing (Alilauro, SNAV or Caremar) depending on where you’re coming from: Naples Molo Beverello – Capri are the main lines; fares run roughly €20–€40 depending on operator and season. To rent a scooter at a fair price, compare shops at Marina Grande—expect about €30–€40 per day depending on model and season.

Description: Casa del Corallo is a friendly family-run pension decorated with nautical objects and old photographs of Capri. The rooms are modest but very clean, and the house has a shared terrace with partial views of the Faraglioni. Owners can arrange water-taxi transfers and advise on quieter beaches like Spiaggia del Faro at Punta Carena.
Practical tips: Ask for a courtyard-facing room for better sound insulation. Enjoy morning walks to the viewpoints and ask the owner for local bus timetables (Capri–Anacapri routes). To save on meals, try the panini from Bar Tiberio (Via Tiberio 1) or pizza by the slice near Marina Piccola.
7. B&B Il Fienile — Via Tuoro 5, Anacapri centre

Located close to Piazza Vittoria, you’re minutes from the chairlift up to Monte Solaro and the Chiesa di San Michele (Piazza San Nicola, Anacapri), famous for its majolica tiled floor.
Tips: Book a chairlift slot early in the morning for clear views over the Bay of Naples. Try the local “delizia al limone” at a pastry shop in Anacapri. In summer, pack a swimsuit and head to Spiaggia di Gradola for a wilder beach experience than Marina Piccola. Ask the B&B for safe hiking routes and the condition of trails depending on the weather.
8. Pensione Marechiaro — Via Roma 2, close to the shops

Description: Midway between the Piazzetta and the coastal viewpoints, this guesthouse offers simple but bright rooms, often with twin or double beds. The advantage: staff speak fluent English and Italian and are happy to help book restaurants or boat trips. Breakfast features Neapolitan specialties and savory options for travelers in a hurry.
Practical tips: Pensione Marechiaro is well located for shopping, but avoid peak season if you’re hunting for better prices. For budget but tasty dinners, follow staff recommendations to lesser-known trattorie tucked in nearby alleys. Also check for nearby laundry services if you’re staying on the island for several days.

Some rooms have small private terraces and heated blankets for cooler evenings. Services include booking sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach and tips for kayaking excursions around the island.
Tips: Marina Piccola is a great place to swim—arrive early to rent loungers at a reasonable price. If you want to avoid crowds, plan a morning visit to Bagni di Tiberio. From the port you can get close by bus or taxi-boat, but for more flexibility a scooter rental is an economical choice for groups.

A small shared lounge is perfect for leafing through guidebooks and chatting with the owners about daily tips. The location is ideal for exploring Via Camerelle and walking to the Piazzetta.
Practical tips: Take advantage of the hosts’ advice to book diving trips or to find less-touristy spots for a handmade limoncello. For a cultural visit, the Certosa di San Giacomo (Piazza della Certosa, 80073 Capri) is usually open 09:00–17:00; opening times and events vary by season. If you arrive late by boat, notify the B&B in advance—many offer late check-in at no extra charge.
