The eleven-room budget Hotel La Tosca is a petite, single-story bed-and-breakfast, wonderfully situated on a quiet lane but in the heart of town. It shares real estate -- and views -- with more upscale properties. Interiors are super clean and designed with a lovely simplicity: lots of white with colorful accents, tile floors, and plenty of natural light. Guest rooms are sparse but also airy, with private, up-to-date bathrooms. Overall, it's perfectly suited to couples or families looking to experience Capri on a budget. Another option travelers could consider is the Hotel Weber Ambassador Capri, which also includes a pool, something La Tosca lacks.

Scene
Cheerful, airy, and simple, with beautiful Capri views and a cozy terrace
The Hotel La Tosca is a cheerful, airy bed-and-breakfast in a typical Caprese home, a one-story structure with vaulted ceilings, arched doorways, and beautiful views. Being a small inn, there's not a lot of common space, but these few areas are clean and cozy, not cluttered in the way many B&Bs appear. There's a large outdoor terrace where morning breakfast is served, and, later in the day, travelers gather to swap stories and compare adventures over a glass of wine. La Tosca isn't glitzy and glamorous like neighboring properties, but it's perhaps the best bargain on Capri. The spotless and stylish, but simple, look is refreshing and peaceful, and the sceney chaos of the Piazzetta is a five-minute walk away, for guests who want the best of both worlds.
Location
In the center of town, on a quiet, tree-lined lane
The Hotel La Tosca is located in the center of Capri town, down a quiet lane lined with greenery, a short five-minute walk from the Piazzetta. It's a climb from the port, and guests may want to take advantage of the public porter service if toting lots of luggage. Many Capri attractions are in easy walking distance, including the Gardens of Augustus (three minutes away) and the Via Krupp (five minutes). A five-minute walk can also take guests to the bus and funicular stops. All in all, the La Tosca offers that ideal mix of a peaceful, private corner close to all the action.
Rooms
Airy and spotless, with private bathrooms and simple island-white decor
Rooms at the Hotel La Tosca are small and simple, but spotlessly clean and airy, with private (and modern) bathrooms done in attractive travertine tile. Bathrooms have walk-in shower stalls only and bidets. Several rooms have sea-view terraces, which add to the space, and are worth the extra fee. Single and Double Rooms are offered, and triple or quadruple accommodations can be arranged. The decor is island-white, with striped bedspreads and white tile floors, which can echo, so extremely light sleepers may want to bring ear plugs. Amenities include air-conditioning and loaner iPads, as well as free Wi-Fi -- but note that rooms do not have TVs.
Features
Continental breakfast on a sunny terrace with a beautiful view
The Hotel La Tosca features a continental breakfast served on a lovely terrace overlooking the island. Gluten- and dairy-free items are available, and breakfast can be delivered to guest rooms at no extra charge. In the afternoons, guests gather on the terrace for a drink or a few final rays of sun to socialize with each other. La Tosca offers the convenience of a commission-free dollar exchange. The inn’s owners are extremely knowledgeable and eager to help guests navigate the island or search out and arrange one-of-a-kind sightseeing experiences, off the beaten path.
