For a proposal in Capri, timing matters more than location: the viewpoints empty after 7pm, once the day groups have gone. Tragara, the Gardens of Augustus and a boat at sunset remain the three soundest options.
The places that work
The Belvedere di Tragara faces the Faraglioni in late afternoon light. The Gardens of Augustus give the Via Krupp panorama but close at sunset. For complete privacy, a boat at anchor, returning to Marina Piccola.
Discreet planning
Avoid visible set-ups in public places, where passing traffic cannot be controlled. A simple sequence works better: a walk, the moment at the viewpoint, a booked table in the centre for the evening, with no long transfers afterwards.
Dinner afterwards
From the historic centre it is a few minutes on foot. In Piazzetta Cerio, Spirito di Capri serves until 2am in a small room, works on the walls and, on some evenings, live music: tables on TheFork or at +39 339 358 1609.
