So if you can afford La Minerva, by all means go there but for a warm introduction to an island that can seem pretentious at times, start here. The reviews of Il Portico are correct, rooms are basic, spotlessly clean and truly comfortable. The first impression as you enter the room will not blow you over but once you've settled... More

I don't give many properties 5-stars on TA. I'm a picky traveler. While Il Portico may fall short of meeting the expectations of travelers looking for a 4 or 5 star Luxury experience, it will exceed the needs of any traveler looking for clean, affordable rooms with super friendly/helpful hosts. From the time we initially rang the bell at the... More

Stayed with Antonio and his wife for a few days. Location down a small walkway a five minute stroll to the heart of capri. Ocean view room was lovely. Superb facilities with wifi, comfort, air conditioning. Clearly the owners care We re talking meticulous everything. And perfection at each turn. Breakfast on the terrace was sublime. If you want to... More

We stayed at Il Portico for 2 nights. Antonio and Alessandra are very friendly and very helpful. The B&B is a bit tricky to find at first, and like most of Capri, involves negotiating lots of steps. The views are awesome, and the setting tranquil. We had a room on the first floor, which was very basic, clean and quiet.... More

We stayed at Il Portico for 2 nights 19-21 of May 2012, our experience could not be better, great B&B, great views and super-great hosts. Antonio introduced us to the hidden parts of the Capri and his friendly recommendations were great and gave us the opportunity to feel as local. Charming, beautiful and prices are decent. thax Antonio R&K Israel

Antonio and Alessandra make your stay wonderful. The view from our room (room #3) was the best! When we needed a cab or any recommendations they were there for us. I would highly recommend Il Portico. For the comment about accessibility, the whole island of Capri is very hilly and be prepared to have sore legs and ankles. My parents... More

PROs - views, value, host, breakfast patio CONs - difficult to walk to We found hotels and B&B's on Capri to be quite expensive and were happy to find Il Portico which was quite reasonable in June. Antonio was such a great host - very friendly and welcoming. The rooms were adequate - nothing fancy but comfortable and beautiful views... More

Many thanks to Antonio and Alessandra for a fantastic four days on the island of Capri! We couldn't have chosen a better place to experience the island - our room was lovely, spotless, and with a private terrace which has an amazing view of the ocean. Il Portico is centrally located, so we could walk down to the beach and... More

The excellent ratings on Trip Advisor heavily influenced my wife and I in our choice of Il Portico for our recent visit to Capri. We were not disappointed. In fact, everything mentioned by previous reviewers; the bright cheerful room, terrace with a view of the Med, fine breakfasts and great location were all there in spades. But most outstanding, as...
