The chair lift is excellent. You sit back for a few peaceful minutes climbing over Anacapri and it's secret gardens, villas and shops to a mountain with 360 views of Capri. Worth the 10 Euro each. Cafe at top for food and drinks. is colder at top to take warmer clothing.

The chairlift was great as my foot had a strain problem. In the chairlift, one can observe treetops and birds, roses and blooming meadows. The mountaintop was lovely too, away from the villages below. We had a little picnic in the wild barley field just below the summit.

We visited in March, and while it was a lovely day, it did get a little chilly up on the chair lift to the top of Monte Solaro. We paid 10 euros each for a return trip, and it really was worth the money! There is a fantastic view across the island, out to sea, and over to the mainland.... More

We are a family of 4, with 2 older teens, and this excursion satisfied everyone's taste ... for adventure and sightseeing. One of the benefits of planning this mountain-top excursion is that you must pass through Anacapri, which... More

You must take the chair lift up Mount Solaro over the vineyards in Anacapri!

Great views over the whole island, and the cable car ride up is great. One tip: if you're inclined to do so you can walk back down into Anacapri, the walk takes about 50 minutes, and is very pretty.
