​tl;dr – A solid addition to Marriott’s Luxury Collection.

​I’m a fan of Marriott’s Luxury Collection, and recently, some fun properties have joined the portfolio. Another intriguing boutique hotel is set to join Marriott on April 20, 2026. The Pazziella Capri, on Italy’s famed island, is already listed on Marriott’s website and available for reservations. I’m a fan of Marriott’s Luxury Collection as I find that upscale soft-brand hotels tend to deliver a lot of value. Within the portfolio, you’ll find a lot of intriguing properties and you can often enjoy the dual-benefits of elite recognition and localized flair, as well as the ‘sense of place’ each unique property affords.

The Pazziella Capri features classic Mediterranean isle design. With only 25 rooms (some of which have private plunge pools), this is a smaller property fitting for its location.

Around the hotel, you can find lush gardens, including signature southern-Italian citrus trees.

​Amenities include a pool and a small gym.

There’s one restaurant – Campella, and one bar – P Garden Lounge Bar.

Rates can be as low as EUR 561 for the lowest-category Deluxe room. During peak times, that same room can cost more than twice as much.

The lowest redemption rate I saw was 94,000 points per night.

Keep in mind that there are only 25 rooms at the property.

Capri is, of course, home to the popular tourist attraction – The Blue Grotto. While the water inside is nice, the whole experience is rather underwhelming, often crowded, and unnecessarily expensive.

This is a pretty solid add for Marriott. For one, Capri doesn’t have a ton of luxury points hotels. The nicer properties on the island are all boutiques with the likes of the J.K. Place Capri and Jumeirah Capri Palace leading the way.
