Elegant Villa with refined architectural features

Capri is the most famous island in the Gulf of Naples, close to the Amalfi Coast, from which it is only 30 minutes away. Coveted by great emperors such as Augustus and Tiberius, thanks to its mild climate and fascinating landscape, it covers just over 10 sq km. Mediterranean temperatures support the production of olive oil and the world-famous limoncello, as well as extraordinary botanical essences, making the island a place of fragrance and beauty in every season. A tourist destination since ancient times, Capri is rich in architectural traces left by those who chose it as a permanent residence. From the Roman Villa Jovis to the late-medieval Certosa, and on to the noble residences of the last two centuries: Villa Lysis and writers’ villas, such as Munthe’s panoramic home and Malaparte’s brilliant one. The road built by Krupp is the best known of the sea-view routes winding across the island. In Anacapri it is easy to enjoy walks: nature is unspoiled, and silence and privacy matter greatly to those who live here. The village preserves the character of the most authentic island, with local crafts and quiet lanes. From here you descend to the Blue Grotto, a natural marvel that amazes visitors with its colors and magic. Other routes lead to the Fortini trail and the Monte Solaro chairlift. The beaches are beautiful, free or equipped, at Marina Grande and Marina Piccola. Where lunch at Fontelina turns into a swim by the Faraglioni, and a trip to the Punta Carena lighthouse lets you admire daring dives and the most beautiful sunset. La dolce vita finds its chosen home in Capri, where high society gathers to “hold court” at any hour. Since the 1950s, the Piazzetta has hosted the glamour of a crowd that, from Sophia Loren onward, has never stopped having fun here
