A Tooshie Guide
to Capri
With Daniele Ruggiero of Sud Capri
For the next chapter of our Destination Guides series, we asked our friend Daniele Ruggiero of Sud Capri to share the Capri he returns to, season after season.
The Capri State of Mind
Start at Faro
If Capri has a colour, it's here.
Deep blue water stretching beyond the lighthouse at Faro, where Daniele begins most summer days.
His favourite swim.
His favourite sunset.
The sort of place that reminds you why you came.
The scent of the island
Lemons
Fresh.
Sharp.
Sun-warmed.
A reminder that in Capri, even the air feels different.
Before everyone else wakes up
The Piazzetta
Daniele's favourite moment isn't found in a beach club
or restaurant.
It's standing in the Piazzetta early in the morning.
Before the tables fill.
Before the ferries arrive.
Just the square.
And the day ahead.
The Places He Always Returns To
Le Boffe, Anacapri
A quieter rhythm.
Whitewashed walls.
Narrow streets that encourage wandering.
The View
Giardini di Augusto
The view everyone photographs.
For good reason.
The Secret Spot
Punta Cannone
When Daniele wants perspective, this is where he goes.
High above the sea, with Capri laid out below.
The Capri Table
Coffee
Piccolo Bar
A quick espresso that
rarely stays quick.
Lunch
Da Giorgio
Classic Capri.
No complications.
Something sweet
Buonocore
For gelato after the beach.
To Order
Pizza all'Acqua at Aurora
A Capri favourite.
The Tooshie Piece
When asked which Tooshie piece belongs in Capri, Daniele doesn't hesitate.
Simple.
Clean.
Confident.
The sort of swimsuit that feels as good at Faro as it does at aperitivo.
One Last Thing
Walk Via Krupp.
Swim at sunset.
Watch the light disappear from Marina Piccola.
And stay longer than you planned.
Capri rewards people who do.
