Imagine a completely blue cavern, as though God was amusing himself making a tent with pieces of firmament”! Capri is also an amazing and wonderful setting for shopping: precious jewellery, fashion boutiques, luxury shops close to the small and tiny craftsmens’ shops that give the visitor the possibility to admire and buy local products such as fine and refined laces; delicate and unforgettable essence from flowers of the island, the excellent limoncello and the Capresi sandals famous all over in the world.
