Savor a Gourmet Getaway on Capri at Hotel Caesar Augustus
Stretch out, settle in and enjoy reduced seasonal rates on stylish accommodations, a candle-lit dinner, and a cooking lesson with Executive Chef Giuseppe Resta.

From its cliffside perch 1,000-feet above the Bay of Naples, the 55 room hotel blends the most compelling aspects of Roman architecture with most modern amenities and striking Mediterranean style. The hotel's restaurant, Lucullo Terrace, is renowned for use of local ingredients in cooking up finest regional cuisine amid Romanesque ambiance, with seating both indoors and out before stunning panoramic views across the sea to Mt. Vesuvius, Sorrento and Ischia.

Meanwhile, back in la cucina, restaurant chefs transform traditional regional cuisine into a celebration of flavors using only the freshest produce – some of it grown in the restaurant's garden. Result? Spectacular culinary masterpieces such as Sautéed mussels and clams with garlic croutons, Beef fillet with bacon, chestnut sauce, mushrooms and thyme; and Lamb "scottadito" with spinach and sautéed potatoes – just a few of the items on the menu that use locally sourced produce and herbs.
