Essentials

City
Capri, a comune in the Metropolitan City of Naples, Campania (postal code 80073). It shares the island with the separate comune of Anacapri. The town hall is on Piazza Umberto I. 1 2
Population
The comune of Capri had 6,705 residents on 1 January 2026 (ISTAT). Anacapri, the other comune on the island, had 6,746. Together that is 13,451 people, not one municipal population. 2 3
Internet Speed
A TIM coverage listing updated 26 October 2026, drawn from AGCOM data, puts fibre-to-the-home at about 424 households in Capri, with an average download of about 83 Mbps and fibre peaks of about 108 Mbps. Marketed ceilings are fibre up to 2.5 Gbps, cabinet fibre up to 200 Mbps, fixed wireless up to 300 Mbps and ADSL up to 20 Mbps. The street number matters. 19
Currency & Banking
Euro (EUR). ECB reference rate on 19 October 2026: 1 EUR = 1.1225 USD (about 0.89 EUR per US dollar). 6
Tap Water
Tap water in Italy is drinkable unless a fountain is signed non potabile. Restaurants usually offer bottled water, and asking for tap water is not always welcome. 4
Power
230 V, 50 Hz. Plugs are Type C (Europlug), Type F (Schuko) and Type L. 4
SIM Card
iliad prepaid requires a passport; shops may also require or generate a codice fiscale. The Italy country prep of 19 October 2026 records GIGA 150 at €7.99/month for 150 GB and TOP 230 at €9.99/month for 230 GB in Italy plus 18 GB EU roaming, with €9.99 activation. TIM, Vodafone and Wind Tre also sell prepaid SIMs. These are the shared prep prices; current availability of TOP 230 was not verified. 4 7
Banking for Expats
Revolut and Wise are widely accepted; Fineco for local residency needs.
Accommodation
Luxury hotels dominant; Villa rentals via local agencies like Capri Real Estate or Airbnb (very expensive in peak season).
Cashless Friendly
Yes, major luxury boutiques and restaurants accept cards; small cafes prefer cash for totals under €10.
Short Term Rentals
Airbnb and Booking.com; expect €150-€300/night for modest apartments in March.
Budget Accommodation
Affittacamere (Guesthouses) like Villa l'Olivo or staying in Anacapri; no traditional backpacker hostels exist.
Best Area to Stay for Tourists
Capri Town (near the Piazzetta) for shopping, nightlife, and the iconic 'dolce vita' atmosphere. 2 5
Best Area to Stay for Digital Nomads
Anacapri; it is quieter, more residential, slightly more affordable, and has better local services.

Working and Networking

Best Coworking Space
No coworking space on the island. Palazzo Innovazione, Santa Sofia complex, Largo Abate Conforti, Salerno: hot desk 25 euro for a full day (9:00-20:00) or 245 euro a month, both including VAT. 21

Studio Purchase Price (Outside City)
The cheaper Capri zone in the same OMI table is the eastern side (Via Matermania and Via Tiberio) at 4,900-7,400 euro per square metre. The middle is 6,150 euro, so a 40 square metre flat is about 246,000 euro. Anacapri is a different comune and is not in this table. 18
1-Bedroom Purchase Price (City Center)
OMI has no bedroom split. Ordinary homes in the centre are 7,200-11,000 euro per square metre (middle 9,100). A 60 square metre flat at that middle is about 546,000 euro. 18
1-Bedroom Purchase Price (Outside City)
Eastern Capri (Via Matermania and Via Tiberio) is 4,900-7,400 euro per square metre (middle 6,150). A 60 square metre flat at that middle is about 369,000 euro. Anacapri is not in this table. 18

New arrivals from 2026 may elect a €300,000 annual lump-sum tax on foreign income, subject to eligibility.
