Villa Le Scale

Blue and green, water and stone, are the colours and the sensations which surround the villa's elegant swimming pool. These contrasts generate a sublime harmony, diffusing a calm and a serenity which transform the hours spent at the poolside into moments of sheer relaxation. A refreshing dip in the pool, a drink sipped whilst soaking up the sunshine or in the shade of the gardens, a delicious snack which embodies all the flavours of the Mediterranean.

Descending the ancient flight of stone steps, one finds oneself in the wonderful "Secret Garden", the fruit of the loving attention of generations of ladies who have tended it over the years. Bushes of Viburnum mariesii (Viburnum plicatum), groups of Datura with their "Angel's Trumpet" flowers (Datura suaveolens) and arches of climbing roses (Rosae mephisto), create the perfect setting for a moment of reading, music, or quiet meditation.

The island of Capri is one of the loveliest resorts in Italy, a dramatic island soaring upward from the sea, with sweeping views, whitewashed homes and villas, fragrant lemon trees, narrow winding lanes, and flower-filled courtyards. It's completely overrun in summer, as throngs of international tourists and vacationing Italians arrive every day to soak up its romantic atmosphere and gorgeous scenery.  From the hotel you can discover all there is to see: The Bold Arch  what remains of a large grotto that penetraded the mountain, Villa Jovis - Mount Tiberio the most outstanding of all the Tiberian villas, the Gardens of Augustus only  a few minutes  walk from the Piazzetta,  The Charterhouse of St. Giacomo whose foundations date back to 1371 and it is believed that it was built on the remains of previous Roman buildings and the sixth villa of Tiberius, or simply take a short bus ride that will deliver you to Anacapri, also perched at the top of the island near Monte Solaro and discover the magic and famous Blue Grotto that once here must not be missed.
