Hotel Caesar Augustus
A Relais and Chateaux hotel on the very edge of a three hundred metre cliff in Anacapri, where a sun drenched terrace floats above the Bay of Naples for one of the most dramatic wedding views in Italy.
Hotel Caesar Augustus stands on the slopes of Mount Solaro in Anacapri, perched on the edge of a cliff that drops three hundred metres straight to the sea. Once a private residence built in the early nineteenth century and a retreat for artists and aristocrats, it is now a five star Relais and Chateaux hotel whose terraces command the whole Bay of Naples, from Vesuvius to Sorrento and across to Ischia.
For a wedding the draw is that terrace, a balcony in the sky for a ceremony and dinner at golden hour, with the island falling away below. The hotel has fifty five rooms and suites, so a core party stays on the cliff, and the scale is intimate rather than grand, which suits Capri.
The honest counsel is that Capri is small, vertical and seasonal. Access is by ferry and a winding road up to Anacapri, the island is busy through high summer, and the most coveted dates go early, so plan with a team who run weddings on the island every season.
Caesar Augustus sits above Anacapri, the higher and quieter of Capri's two towns, on the flank of Mount Solaro. The hotel grew from an early nineteenth century private villa and keeps the soul of one, with terracotta floors, a fresh Mediterranean style and gardens that run to the cliff edge. The signature is the long terrace that hangs directly over the sea, a vantage point so high and so open that the bay seems to belong to the hotel alone.
For a wedding the terrace and gardens carry the ceremony, the aperitivo and the dinner, with the panorama of the Bay of Naples as the only decoration needed. Fifty five rooms and suites accommodate a core party on site, while the wider guest list stays elsewhere in Anacapri and Capri town, a short transfer away.
A clifftop wedding on Capri rewards a planner who knows the island, the ferry timings and the rooms nearby. We will introduce one who has worked Capri weddings and can carry the logistics for you.
View planner directoryThe practical things, told plainly.
What it costs
Pricing is on application and set per event. As an indicative April 2026 guide, a wedding at a five star clifftop hotel on Capri, with terrace hire, catering and production, is a substantial commitment that rises with the season and the guest count. Treat that as a range to confirm directly with the hotel.
The legal bit
A legally binding civil marriage in Italy is possible for non residents with documents arranged through your consulate and the comune of Capri or Anacapri. Many couples marry legally at home and hold a symbolic ceremony on the terrace. A planner manages the paperwork either way.
Capacity in practice
Capri weddings are intimate by nature, and the terrace suits a considered guest list rather than a large party. The exact numbers depend on the spaces used and the layout, so confirm the figure for your plan directly with the hotel.
When to marry here
May to October is the season, with late spring and September the most comfortable for warmth without the peak crowds. July and August are hot and the island is at its busiest. The terrace at sunset is the moment couples come for.
