Once you’ve experienced the charm of Capri in Italy, you might find yourself wishing you could carry a piece of its beauty back with you. We’ve all visited a destination that lingers in our hearts, making us dream of bringing its magic home. For me? I would love to take Capri home.. 🙂
The blue of the Mediterranean Sea, the food, the atmosphere and yes the lemons, are all part of awesome memories.
Here are a few tips on how to recreate those Capri memories at home.
Creating that perfect entertainment spot.
When Capri comes to mind, the stunning blue sea is the first thing that stands out. To bring a touch of Capri to your backyard, start by incorporating soft or aqua blue hues into your garden. It’s the perfect way to begin creating your own Mediterranean oasis.
The color blue can be added in the most subtle ways, like with a tablecloth, some scatter cushions, a garden pot, etc…

If you have a large wall in your garden, consider painting it or adding a few blue flower pots to infuse a touch of the sea. You don’t need to stick to just one shade of blue—after all, the Mediterranean Sea is full of varying tones. Mix and match different shades for a more dynamic look when painting your garden pots. For an extra creative touch, try decorating an otherwise plain wall with an old window frame or a charming door painted in Mediterranean blue. It’s a fantastic way to bring the spirit of Capri to your garden.
If you have favorite photos from your holiday in Capri (like the boat photo below), frame copies of them and display them on a wall. It’ll serve as a great conversation starter when you have guests over, and during quieter moments, it will bring back fond memories. Just be sure to seal the frames to keep moisture out, and use colorful prints rather than your only original photos, so you can preserve the irreplaceable memories

Thinking of my favorite restaurant in Capri… I love the idea of dining under lemon trees. In fact the whole of Amalfi is all about lemons, and who doesn’t love the Amalfi coast…
Serving something refreshing like a lemon spritzer is the perfect choice for summer. Its light, zesty flavor will cool you down and add a touch of Mediterranean charm to any gathering.
Embrace the Caprese culinary experience by setting up an outdoor dining area where you can enjoy meals in true Mediterranean style. Invest in a sturdy outdoor dining table and chairs, and adorn the table with colorful tableware and fresh flowers.
For extra Italian Capri flair, get some beautiful glasses and a bottle of good Italian sparkling wine. Then, make a Caprese Salad or a nice pasta and dinner is ready….under the lemon trees….and maybe add some solar powered fairy lights for extra atmosphere.
You’ll definitely need an olive oil decanter to complete your Capri-inspired backyard! Not only does it add a stylish Mediterranean touch to your dining table, but it also makes drizzling that delicious extra virgin olive oil both easy and elegant.

Indulge in the flavors of Capri by recreating its iconic dishes in your own kitchen. Whip up classic recipes such as insalata caprese with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, or savor the simplicity of spaghetti alle vongole (spaghetti with clams). Don’t forget to enjoy a refreshing limoncello liqueur as a post-meal treat.
Create a dedicated limoncello lounge area in your backyard where you can relax and unwind with a refreshing cocktail in hand. Set up a bar cart stocked with all the essentials for making limoncello spritzers, lemon drop martinis, and other citrus-infused drinks. Hang string lights or lanterns overhead to add a touch of whimsy to your outdoor space.
Limoncello holds a special place in Italian culture, particularly in the southern regions like the Amalfi Coast and Capri. This vibrant lemon liqueur is more than just a drink; it’s a symbol of Italian hospitality, tradition, and the country’s connection to its rich, sun-drenched landscapes. Often enjoyed as an after-dinner digestivo, Limoncello is crafted with local lemons, whose zest imparts a refreshing, zesty flavor that captures the essence of Italy’s Mediterranean coast. For Italians, sharing a glass of Limoncello with friends and family is a cherished ritual, evoking a sense of warmth, community, and the simple pleasures of life.
Capture the essence of Capri’s famed citrus fruits by mixing up refreshing limoncello cocktails at home. Try your hand at crafting a limoncello spritz with sparkling water and a splash of Prosecco, or blend up a tangy lemon drop martini for a sophisticated twist. Garnish your drinks with a slice of fresh lemon for an authentic touch.
If they love Italy, why not surprise them with a delightful Limoncello Spritz Gift?
It’s a thoughtful and unique way to bring a taste of the Mediterranean to their home. Start with a stylish Limoncello Tote Bag – it’s both practical and elegant. Then, fill it with all the essential ingredients to make the perfect Limoncello Spritz: a bottle of premium Limoncello, a refreshing sparkling wine or prosecco, and a few slices of fresh lemon for that extra zing. You could even add some decorative cocktail glasses to complete the gift.
Well-thought-out and full of charm, this gift is perfect for anyone who enjoys Italian flavors or just loves a refreshing drink on a warm evening. It’s the ideal way to send them a little piece of Italy, no matter where they are.
Consider adding whitewashed walls or fences to your backyard to evoke the charming architecture of Capri’s buildings. You can also use white paint on existing structures to achieve a similar effect and enhance the Mediterranean ambiance.
Incorporate Mediterranean plants and flowers into your backyard landscaping, such as bougainvillea, oleander, and lavender. These aromatic blooms will infuse your outdoor space with the fragrant scents of Capri’s flora.
Add some cheerful Amalfi coast inspired mosaic, round end table (with Ceramic Tile Top) on your patio.
And there you have it – bringing the charm of Capri into your own home is easier than you think!
Last but not least, you can learn the basic phrases in Italian and surprise your Italian friends.
