La Fontelina Capri

La Fontelina sits at the end of Via dei Faraglioni, clinging to the jagged rock face overlooking the sea. It is a beach club and restaurant, defined by its proximity to the Faraglioni cliffs.

The club is a deliberate departure from the hushed, manicured dining rooms of Capri’s main piazza. While the center of town focuses on formal service, La Fontelina embraces the sun and salt, shifting from a relaxed Mediterranean seafood lunch to house and dance beats as the day progresses. The room runs casual, but the sheer logistical challenge of its cliffside perch is what justifies the trek down from the village. It is louder and more exposed than its neighbors, and that is precisely the draw for those who prefer their Italian seafood with a side of crashing surf rather than village square gossip.
