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!
