Hotel Al Mulino

Warning: “Al Mulino” Might Ruin Your Capri Vacation! Beware of Lies and Overcharging! Listen closely: give “Al Mulino” a miss if you don’t want to ruin the whole experience! Pluses: Lush green surroundings; sometimes they’ll offer you a lift to Anacapri center. Minuses: Location. It’s in the boonies! Not a cafe or store in sight. Brace yourself for a 15-20 min trek back to the hotel. And the surroundings? Feels more like a run-down village than the luxe island of Capri. Breakfast. Walked out with my stomach growling. Limp, cold scrambled eggs. Zero veggies, and forget pancakes. A plate of bacon, a plate with bland ricotta, and croissants-that’s all food! And where’s the regular cheese? Not even the basics to make a sandwich! They did have, oddly, dessert cakes. Nice touch, but where’s the actual breakfast? Rooms? BEWARE! See those photos on their site? Don’t trust your eyes! Their “basic” rooms are a joke. They speak of a “patio” (sneakily no photos) – but its a cramped, dim spot with just a table and two chairs. That’s their “patio.” I was paying almost double for a “Junior Suite with Terrace and Solarium.” Reality check: my room? Given to someone else! I was handed a version with just a terrace – no sun-loungers, no promised solarium. “This IS what you booked” (seriously?) That day standard rooms went TWICE less than they charged me - and denied refund. When in Capri, steer clear of “Al Mulino”. You deserve better!

Very nice property. Nice location in Anacapri. We walked into town as well as to the blue grotto.

Experienced traveler speaking. I’ve journeyed through many countries, but Capri was a new adventure. Listen closely: give “Al Mulino” a miss. Choose literally anywhere else if you don’t want to ruin the whole experience! Pluses: • Lush green surroundings; sometimes they’ll offer you a lift to Anacapri center. Minuses: • Location. It’s in the boonies! Not a cafe, restaurant, or store in sight. Brace yourself for a 15-20 min trek back to the hotel. And the surroundings? Feels more like a run-down, impoverished village than the luxe island of Capri. • Breakfast. A sad affair. Walked out with my stomach growling. Their spread? I could count the items and think, “Is that it?” Limp, cold scrambled eggs. Zero veggies, and forget pancakes. A plate of bacon, a plate with bland ricotta, and croissants - that’s all the food! And where’s the regular cheese? Not even the basics to make a sandwich! They did have, oddly, a selection of… dessert cakes. Nice touch, but where’s the actual breakfast? •Rooms. See those descriptions and photos on their site? Don’t trust your eyes; they’ll deceive you in reality. — Their “basic” rooms are a joke. They speak of a “patio” in the description (sneakily no photos) – but what you get? A cramped, dim spot with just a table and two chairs. That’s their “patio.” — The saga of the “Junior Suites”? Oh boy, hold onto your hats. I drooled over this gorgeous photo showing sun loungers on a lawn. So, I splurged, paying almost double for a “Junior Suite or Family Room with Terrace Garden View and Solarium,” dreaming of that sunbathing “Solarium.” Reality check: my room? Given to someone else. I was handed a *****ped-down version with just a terrace – no sun-loungers, let alone the promised “solarium”. Then came the barrage of evasive responses: “We thought you were a party of four” (seriously?), “This IS what you booked” (are you kidding?), and the classic “You booked through ******* but showed a Booking screenshot” (come on! Check yourself before accusing a guest). Blatant lies. Think that was all? The deception didn’t end there. Was told “it’s the last room” (okay, things happen), but lo and behold, they paraded another room afterward (surprise, surprise, I thought it was the last one?) - nowhere near the room quality shown in the images and definitely not a Junior suite. Then, the owner, Simona, took it a step further, claiming that I “got a room with a sea view, which is an upgrade, not a downgrade” and that this room costs even more. Reality check: You can’t see the sea from anywhere, it’s obscured by trees, and the hotel itself is quite distant from the beach. Rang up *******, and guess what? No such “sea view” category exists for this property. That day, standard rooms went for $153. I shelled out €245! They had the audacity to offer a measly 60€ off. Do the math. They played me. In conclusion – take it from me. The endless disputes, the web of deceit, almost cast a shadow over my entire vacation. When in Capri, steer clea

We absolutely loved our stay at this lovely little family run hotel. If you like peace and quiet, in ‘real’ Capri away from the business of the rest of the Island, then Hotel Mulino is the place to stay. It’s immaculately clean, the garden and small pool are perfect and the welcome from the whole family and team is just wonderful. We will stay there again if we go back. Just for info, the hotel is a good 15 min walk from the centre of Ana Capri, if you don’t fancy that, the bus is so easy.
