The five-star Hotel Caesar Augustus, with 55 rooms, located in Capri, Italy, has been acquired by Grupo Statuto from the Italian Signorini family for €180 million, equivalent to €3.2 million per room.

Regarded as one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, the hotel has been in the ownership of the Signorini family since 1940. Perched on a cliff 300 meters above sea level in the northern part of Anacapri, it offers a spectacular, panoramic view of the Bay of Naples.

The hotel's name is derived from a statue of the Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus, placed on its most prominent terrace in 1900 by the Russian Prince Emmanuel Bulhak. Bulhak purchased the property, then known as Villa Bitter, built in 1850 by a wealthy German, and transformed it into a vibrant center for art and culture.

In 1995, Paolo Signorini and his wife Patrizia refurbished the property into a luxurious resort, solidifying its place as one of the most iconic and photographed landmarks on Capri.

Today, Caesar Augustus features 49 rooms and six suites, all with breathtaking sea views. The interiors are elegantly appointed, seamlessly blending the charm of tradition with modern comforts.
