Villa Le Scale is a
prestigious early-19th century mansion situated in the town of Anacapri,
perched high on the Isle of Capri. This Neoclassical-style building,
formerly owned by the Barons Monti Della Corte, is one of the few
historic homes still intact in the old part of Anacapri.
Located near the home - now a museum - of the famed Swedish physician
and writer Axel Munthe, Villa Le Scale has been completely refurbished
by its present owner, a well-known antiquarian and art collector. The
original structure has been enriched with contemporary features, but the
mansion still holds all the fabled charm of Capri.
Villa Le Scale is now an exclusive luxury hotel that offers its guests
all the pleasure and comfort of a home away from home.
The elegant rooms, all with period furnishings, bear suggestive names
from the world of art and travel: the Artist's Suite, the Collector's
Suite, the Oriental, the Venetian, the Voyager and the Louis XVI.
The villa has its own lunch bar and a full range of facilities - heated
swimming pool, solarium, hydro-massage - all blending harmoniously with
the original décor.
The villa's large park abounds in colors and scents from pine, palm and
pomegranate trees, magnolias, roses, hydrangeas, passion-flowers,
hibiscus and more - a Garden of Eden that welcomes guests with the same
warmth and hospitality as the lady of the house and her staff. |
