Hotel Quisisana Rome
-Cosy 3 Star Hotel Offering Typical Italian Flair.
ince ancient times, Capri has been the place where the world's wealthiest
and loveliest go on holiday. And if the town of Capri is where they
frolic, then the Quisisana is where they sleep — actors, supermodels,
and the entire Agnelli clan, owners of Torino's Fiat industrial
group. Even from the outside, the Quisasana looks like an elite
habitat; delicately nineteenth-century and painted cream. Inside
it is timeless with mirrors as far as the eye can see and the most
dazzlingly tiled floors throughout. But the Quisisana is also the
essence of Capri, which, thanks to Tiberius, is a decadent town
that even DH Lawrence found too rich for his blood. It's ironic
that it should have been built by an idealistic English doctor,
who charged 8 cents to patients seeking a cure underneath the Mediterranean
sun. Now the Quisisana is no longer cheap, nor particularly healthy
— though it is still, quite simply, marvelous. Both the pool
and the outdoor cafe are popular. Mornings are usually crowded with
tourists gawking at the Mediterranean view; in the afternoon, however,
barely-dressed beautiful people emerge for a dip in the pool, while,
at the café, better-dressed people congregate for a limoncello
and a bit of rest after a long day of spending money. And the fashion
and the people only get better as the sky gets darker. A view of
the Mediterranean from your room isn't a necessity, as those rooms
that do overlook the sea are often partly blocked by trees. Of course
the view isn't the main attraction — the thing about staying
here is that you feel like a star. So many of them come here that
you virtually blend in. Be sure, however, to dress the part —
understated designer wear, real gems, and a fur wrap to ward off
the chill. Who knows? Someone may just mistake you for a person
of fame.
