Design Poetry
A Love Letter To Anacapri by Patricia Urquiola
Awaken to Capri’s soul in Patricia Urquiola’s new suites where sea breezes ripple through curved walls, handmade ceramics fracture sunlight like wave foam, and every arch mirrors the tide’s pulse.
MarioRita Suites
A Legacy Reimagined
In 1953, young visionaries Mario Cacace and Rita Canale fused their names and dreams into MarioRita, a small boutique in Anacapri where local craftsmanship met timeless elegance. Its extraordinary success became the foundation for Europa Palace, later Capri Palace, transforming Anacapri from a quiet village into a destination of international allure. Today, the circle closes. The new MarioRita Suites rise precisely where the original boutique once stood, a poetic return to the roots. With Patricia Urquiola’s contemporary sensibility, these spaces honour the artisanal soul of the past while embracing the future of luxury. Here, the threads of history are rewoven: the same walls that once held hand-stitched treasures now cradle a new era of elegance, forever tying Capri Palace’s legacy to its most intimate beginnings. This is more than a tribute: it’s a homecoming.
