We’re here to stop you doing anything too extraordinary! Beach backpacker life is just not like that.
Lounging… by the pool to the scent of a herb garden; BBQing… at sunset among fruit trees and jasmine gazebo; Playing… with super-friendly puppies, Tequila and Lupo, or with one of our other cool guests; Tanning… a gorgeous bronzed colour over a wine or beer… … These are the things that we’re about.
When you reach us you'll have seen some pretty amazing sites in this fabulous old country.
Well, you won’t here… .

unless beautiful Italian beach bodies are your thing.
We're on the Main Street of 'the most beautiful thermal island in the world', overlooking Capri, Mt Vesuvius, and the Sorrento Peninsular.
One reviewer said recently, we are your “Holiday’s Holiday” Hostel… a real review from a real reviewer – I guess, that’s an extraordinary find in a popular tourist area! The hostel: But we’re not just about sitting on your arse doing nothing though… … you'll enjoy an outdoor pool with music playing into the night, a summer games bar, running tap water (!), a communal kitchen, and the summer SUN shining on you for 16 hours a day! Then there are group trips to clubs, beaches, restaurants, hot springs, archaeological sites, pubs, and mountain tops.
We even organise boat cruises.
Strenuous, eh! Sometimes you even have to pour your own coffee at breakfast on a terrace overlooking the turquoise Mediterranean and watched by an ancient volcano.
Extraordinary? No, it’s just a wretched part of the daily island grind.
You'll get fresh, sundried linen, a secure place for your possessions, a cosy bed, clean bathrooms, sassy social socializing spots, help with your bookings, travel plans, and summer day-excursions to Amalfi, Sorrento and Capri.
You really won’t regret sleeping with us! The Island: The Romans sunbathed here; the Spanish bathed, the Greeks and French did Greek and French things.
Life really hasn’t changed much in 3,000 years – and you will do what they did.
But, we have fast, free WI-FI, as well.
We’ll recommend you the best foods and wines in Italy on top of the island, at one of the many cheap, local, hidden gems.
We don’t own a restaurant so we have no axe to grind; our recommendations are as impartial as they are delicious, from tried and true experience.
And, while you’re close to all the best the island has to offer, you won't be stuck in the stuffy, hot centre of some noisy city.
What you’ll hear is the sea lapping against the beach, the ice clinking on your glass and the wonderfully symphonic Australian accents of your fellow hostellers by the pool.
We really are here to stop you doing anything extraordinary! So then, where the bloody hell are you, mate? We're 40 minutes by boat from the mainland and buses stop right outside our gate.
There’s supermarkets, restaurants and bars within 5 minutes or so from us.
Then, sitting with friends, a cocktail and a BBQ, watching the sun dip into the sea, you'll appreciate this irony.
