It's humbling, if you're from somewhere other than Italy, to think about how naturally blessed the peninsula and its islands have been. And they haven't exactly let all that natural beauty go to waste either. Seemingly everywhere you look is another hidden gem, another one-of-a-kind hotel. Take, for example, the Hotel Punta Tragara, on the island of Capri.
Here, on the edge of the town of Capri, barely fifteen minutes' walk from the city center, is a villa clinging to the side of the cliff, a villa which just happens to have been subject to some design work by a man named Le Corbusier. The forty-three rooms are decorated in a classic twentieth-century style, to match the building's early modernism -- bright colors play off monochrome backgrounds, and the Mediterranean sun seeps into every corner.
Part historical treasure, part blindingly gorgeous villa, the Hotel Punta Tragara is remarkably low-key. Guests admire the view from their balconies or from alongside either of two heated saltwater pools, and partake of massages and beauty treatments in advance of dinner by candlelight at the Bizantino restaurant. It's a genuinely laid-back and friendly place, which is surprising as there's plenty it could be pompous about.
