La Palma: Luxury Hotels in Italy in Capri

When he visited Capri in 1853, even the great historian, Ferdinando Gregorovius, didn't waste any time, heading straight for the "Don Michele Pagano" inn, in front of which rose a huge palm tree. The hotel, just a short distance from the legendary square, soon became the cherished haunt of anyone just arrived in Capri from the farthest flung corners of the world. Apparently, word of mouth between the many intellectuals, writers, artists and aristocrats, led to the extravagantly huge palm tree used to talk about and find the hotel becoming the emblem for unassuming, never ostentatious, but always extremely tasteful hospitality. The Capri way.
