Anacapri September Shopping

The people of Anacapri have a certain gentleness and hospitality that is touching as it is inviolate. Wherever they work, restaurants, boats, drugstores-anywhere at all- Anacapri seem to command respect by virtue of not asking for it. I am lucky to be here during the Settembrata Annacaprese known to be one of the best festivals in town. Flee -markets and gastronomic Kermesse will guarantee my staying up until dawn. Shops at this time of the year look at their best. I picked four you my favorites!

A Star of a Chef

Part of the my success in loosing weight at the spa is due to the Executive chef Oliver Glowig at the Capri Palce Hotel & Spa.

I asked Caroline Courteau the guest management relations to have a talk with him as I apart from wanting to bring a few of delicious recipes at home, is to understand the philosophy of the Mediterranean cuisine being so simple and the belief of the Spa staff to be the most balanced diet in the world.
