Disadvantages: none

Review of Capri File - Amanda Prantera

A Day In Capri Italy

Advantages: Lots to see and do
Disadvantages: not enough time

...~ A Day In Capri ~ We booked a day trip to capri with a representative from our hotel (we were staying at the Excelsior Vittoria Hotel) in Sorrento this trip cost approx £50.00 per person. We got the hydrofoil from the marina piccolo which takes about twenty to thirty minutes or so. As we approached Capri I was amazed at the view of elegant brightly coloured buildings and tropical trees and plants it really does take your breath away and looks a bit like Balamory with all the beautiful colours and shapes, I think you will see what I mean on the photo's. ~ AnaCapri ~ We got a minibus to AnaCapri which is the island's second (Ana-means other), quieter town with lovely little white houses halfway up the slopes of Monte Solaro (which is the highest point on capri), one of the highlights for me was the scenic...

Review of Capri (Italy)

When in rome..whatever, when in Naples.. go to Capri.

Advantages: Pure beauty in a tiny island
Disadvantages: VERY expensive

... ISLE OF CAPRI BAY OF NAPLES ITALY Ever since I read the book 'I Love Capri' by Belinda Jones I had wanted to visit the Isle of Capri. Capri is a small island in the Campania area of Italy off the spectacular Amalfi coast in the Bay of Naples. So when we went on holiday to the Bay of Naples, mainly to visit Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius, we decided to take a trip to the island. From Naples, the ferry takes about 80 minutes and costs about Euro9,00, the hydrofoil takes about 40 minutes and costs Euro16,00 . From Sorrento, the ferry takes about 40 minutes and costs about Euro9,00 , while the hydrofoil takes about 20 minutes and costs about Euro12,00 . We decided to take the hydrofoil. The hydrofoil arrived at Marina Grande, which is small, bustling village and very beautiful. There are lots...

Review of Capri (Italy)

Fiori di Capri

Advantages: Scent, long lasting, unique
Disadvantages: price, difficulty to find

...The description of an essence is far more complex than the addition of formulas which jointly result in a perfume. Each component is especially chosen to represent a human characteristic, therefore making the perfume transcendent a single sense and, nearly define an entire personality. Fiori di Capri is the definition of class. The aroma is refined and utterly chic in a way that intimidates those who are not comfortable with luxury. Of all the perfumes I have encountered, Fiori di Capri is the most opulent without falling into the ridicule of excess. In order to understand Fiori di Capri, it is important to regard its origins and the legend which famed the creation of the Carthusia perfumery. Capri is a delightful island in the Bay of Naples and has been traditionally the home-in-the-sun for rich and powerful. There is something...

Review of Carthusia Fiori Di Capri Eau de Parfum

I Love Capri: Oustanding book!

Advantages: Amazing book!!!! Great Storyline, believable characters.
Disadvantages: You'll spend your life savings going to capri!!!

...Belinda Jones is one of my favourite authors, and this book is one of my favourite books ever! I read the book while at lake como in Italy, and it made me want to go to Capri so so much. The book not only has a wonderful storyline, but also sets such a romantic setting. Everytime you open the pages you get a sense of romance. Believe me when you read this book, you'll want to jump on a plane straight to capri! This really is a book that you won't want to put down!!! I recommend it to anyone who has read and enjoyed Belinda Jones books before, if you've never read Jones books before, but you like books by authors such as Jane Green, Marian Keyes, Cecilia Ahern. The story is that of translator Kim, whose Grandfather has just died. She has never met him due to a family scandel, when he had an affair with her Grandmother Carmela who...

Review of I Love Capri - Belinda Jones

Capri-Sun

Advantages: Good for quick drink, easily disposable
Disadvantages: Not enough in pouch, leaves you still feeling thirsty

...Capri-Sun is a brand of soft fruit drink that sells for £2.27 in Asda for 10 pouches, working out at roughly 22-23p per pouch. Each pouch is 200ml and is perfect for a quick drink due to the ability to dispose of it quickly via a bin etc. The packaging is superb and very secure, with a straw on the back of the pouch to ensure easy drinking. The only disadvantage of Capri-Sun drinks are that you feel like you are still really thirsty after you have finished drinking, and therefore I usually have to have another pouch to compensate this. The flavours that are available are orange, apple, blackcurrent (my personal favourite), strawberry, apple and blackcurrent, orange and tropical, tropical, starwberry kiwi, fruit punch, grape, red berry, lemonade, wild cherry and many others including sports collections. Capri-Suns are ideal...

Review of Capri-Sun

Is £5,000 enough to change your life? I Love Capri by Belinda Jo

Advantages: A charming and a must read book - a love story with a difference
Disadvantages: Leaves you with a strong desire to visit Capri - one that is very hard to quell!!

...I am ashamed to say as a woman in her (very) late 50's I love the old chick-lit, fluffy book, and I also love books by Belinda Jones. I was given this book several years ago by my eldest daughter, after she had sung its praises and had a mad desire to board a plane and set off for Capri straight away !! As any chick-lit reader will know the cover of a book ( well sometimes you can judge a book by its cover !!) can be the thing that draws you to the book, and so it is with this book - a real 'girlie', glitzy cover that says 'read me' on the front!! After a recent visit to the Bay of Naples and the wonderful island of Capri, I decided to re-read this little jem, hence my review on it now. However my review comes with a wealth warning --- reading this book will send you running to the travel agents to book the next flight to...

Review of I Love Capri - Belinda Jones

I left my heart in Capri

Advantages: Beautiful Views, secluded location
Disadvantages: No restaurant in the hotel

...We had hoped to go to Sardinia, but that was out of our price range. Italy has always been a favourite so when we found we could afford go to Capri we were really excited. The Hotel Weber Ambassador were really helpful from start to finish. We booked direct through their website which saved money on the Expedia listed price, though I think it would depend whether you were going high season or not. Originally we were a little apprehensive having read the mixed reviews on trip advisor, but being of the disposition that a holiday is what you make it we packed ourselves off and flew into Naples. An Italian bus ride across town to the port and battle through the ticket touts for a boat ticket and we were on our way. Despite arriving late and dark the hotel had given us clear instructions about how to ring them (toll-free) when...

Review of Hotel Weber Ambassador, Capri

Brighten your day with a Capri-Sun

Advantages: Handy is you are on the go, nice flavours
Disadvantages: can't stand upright when you have drank alot

...Capri - Sun is one of those drinks that reminds me of when I was little. Back then I always had problems with putting the straw in without spilling any!! Well, nowadays I'm a bit better and seem to have mastered the art of opening and drinking without the spillages of my childhood. Anyway, Capri-Sun drinks are in foil 200ml 'cartons' which are obviously thicker at the bottom where the juice is and thins the nearer you get to the top. The design is pretty basic, a silver carton with a blue background with the words 'Capri-sun' and the flavour written on. Underneath that there is a picture of the flavour you have. So, I have orange so theres lots of orange segments. On the back you have tips to open without spilling (I am sure they never used to have this) and the ingredients etc etc. You also have a straw attached to the back...

Review of Capri-Sun

Capri Sun Gets It Done!

Advantages: Nice Cheap Drink
Disadvantages: Erm, None...

...Capri Sun is a household name that has been round for many years, especially in foreign countries. They are clearly distinctive against other drinks, as they come in foil pouches. This review is of Capri Sun Strawberry? THE PACKAGING As I stated above, Capri Sun comes in a foil package. It is a round shape at the bottom, and as you go up the package becomes thinner and thinner. The colour scheme is a silver colour round the edges, with a blue background in the centre. The phrase ?Capri ? Sun? is written in white, and below is the flavour (Strawberry). Then a picture of the fruit is displayed, and the words ?Made with Natural Juice? are just before the bottom. Finally, at the very bottom is the amount of juice and where to find the best before date. On the back is instructions on how to use the drink (!), the slogan ?Bursting...
