Villa Le Scale Historical Residences

For those travellers wishing to stay in a beautifully restored historical residence, few establishments can beat Anacapri's luxury Villa Le Scale. This charming 19th century edifice, close to the Axel Munthe Museum, is one of the finest examples of Neoclassical architecture on the island of Capri.

Once home to the Barons Monti della Corte, Villa Le Scale was transformed in small luxury villa by the present owner, a famous antiquarian. Owner's life-long love of art and travel has resulted in quite stunning interiors, furnished with the most splendid of artworks, including a marble statue of "Lais" dating back to the 1800's, a collection of paintings from the 17th century Neapolitan School, and frescoes by Enrica Capone.

The Villa's seven, individually appointed en-suite bedrooms contain a number of original works of contemporary and period art and centuries-old antique furnishings - even in the bathrooms. The careful incorporation of the latest in modern technology ensures maximum comfort. In-room amenities include LCD televisions, DVD players and high speed internet connection. Villa Le Scale is available for exclusive rental and as venue for high-level social events.

Villa Le Scale's wonderfully romantic gardens contribute yet further to the property's immense appeal. Here, the air is filled with the scents of rose, magnolia, hibiscus, hydrangea and passion flower: all of which offer a quite magnificent display of Mediterranean colour. Framed by pine, palm and pomegranate trees, Villa Le Scale's swimming pool offers the ideal place where to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet surrounding this unique island establishment.
