Beautiful villa portion with terraces in Anacapri

Capri is the most famous island in the Gulf of Naples, near the Amalfi Coast, just 30 minutes away. Desired by great emperors such as Augustus and Tiberius for its mild climate and fascinating landscape, it covers just over 10 square kilometres. The Mediterranean temperatures favour the production of oil and the renowned limoncello, as well as extraordinary plants whose scents make the island a place of fragrance and beauty in every season. A tourist destination since ancient times, Capri is rich in the architectural traces left by the figures who chose it as their permanent residence. From the Roman Villa Jovis and the late-medieval Certosa monastery to the aristocratic residences of the last two centuries: Villa Lysis and the villas of writers, such as Munthe’s panoramic villa and Malaparte’s inspired masterpiece. The road built by Krupp is the best known of the coastal routes winding through the island. In Anacapri, walking is a pleasure: nature remains unspoiled, while 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, one descends to the Blue Grotto, a natural wonder that amazes visitors with its colours and enchantment. Other routes lead to the Fortini trail and the Monte Solaro chairlift. The beaches are beautiful, whether free or equipped, at Marina Grande and Marina Piccola alike. Here, lunch at La Fontelina can turn into a swim beneath the Faraglioni, while a trip to the Punta Carena lighthouse offers views of daring divers and the most beautiful sunset. Capri is also the chosen home of the dolce vita, where high society gathers to “hold court” at every hour. Since the 1950s, the Piazzetta has witnessed the glamour of a society that, from Sophia Loren onwards, has never stopped enjoying itself here.
