CAMPANIA LUXURY VILLA

This wonderful villa is right in the center of , few steps for every restaurant, shop, walk and sight that matters in the Island.

Hidden in the narrow streets of Anacapri, on the Island of Capri, behind majestic green iron gates and 10 feet high limestone walls is this secluded property, which history dates back more than 150 years. It is one of the few remaining historic villas of Capri. Once one enters the gates it is obvious that the villa possesses one of the most beautiful gardens on the island that features a striking stairway with a Capri style pergola covered with climbing bougainvillea leading to the entrance of the villa, situated at the top of the property from where there is a spectacular view of the Island and below. Despite its size (about 1500 square meters) the garden is a vibrant and abundant mix of different species of trees, plants, flowers, sculptures, fountains and picturesque spots. The property was modernised around 2002 by the then owner: the inspiration was to evoke a fresh and contemporary lifestyle setting while keeping the feeling of exclusivity and nobility that the old villa still maintained. Ideally, he wanted to create an enchanting place in which to live while being surrounded by the charm of a historic home without feeling the weight but rather feeling inspired by the history (Text by Francesco della Femina Design)
