About Caesar Augustus

Insider tip

Avoid the crowds and have the hotel arrange for a private boat cruise around the island –Nancy Cutter Charlotte, North Carolina

In the hotel’s own words

Perched on the cliff edge, a thousand feet above the sea surrounding Capri, Caesar Augustus was originally built in the 1850s as the private residence of a wealthy German businessman. In the early 1900s, a Russian Prince purchased the property and turned it into his majestic island home, complete with life-size statue of Emperor Augustus. The hotel was transformed into a hotel in the mid 20th century and is now considered one of Italy's finest luxury hotels.

An intimate Relais & Chateaux, Caesar Augustus has just 55 individually appointed guest rooms, almost all of which boast amazing views of the Bay of Naples, Mount Vesuvius, Sorrento and the neighboring island of Ischia.

On the sun-kissed island of Capri, lunch is invariably eaten "al fresco". At Ceasar Augustus, fantastically fresh fish and flavor-packed pasta is served on the cliff edge terraces next to the hotel's world-famous infinity pool! In the evening, guests dine at La Terrazza di Lucullo, enjoying wonderfully healthy, zero mile cuisine, prepared using the delicious sun-ripened fruit and vegetables grown in the hotel's large organic kitchen garden.

Stay in the height of summer to experience the island of Capri at its busiest and most glamorous. Stay in spring or autumn if you want to enjoy a more intimate break and, who knows, even a double upgrade!

Concierge service:

The hotel's concierge organizes transfers by car and public hydrofoil, by private boat or by helicopter. Free time activities include walking tours with a private guide, boat excursions in traditional gozzo boat or motor yacht, and visits to the Blue Grotto, Villa Jovis and the Faraglioni.

Located right in the heart of the Bay of Naples, the Island of Capri provides a beautiful base from where to visit other world famous destinations such as Ischia, Procida, Pompei, Herculaneum and the picture perfect towns dotted along the Amalfi Coast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Virtuoso always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
