Villa Bismarck Capri Guest Houses

Ever wondered what it would be like to stay in the home of a diva? Find out now, by booking a holiday at Capri's Villa Bismarck! The onetime residence of the American socialite and 1960's style icon Mona Bismarck, Villa Bismarck is a stunning sea view property, located just above the bay of Marina Grande, and so beautiful that it has been declared a National Monument by the Italian Ministry of Culture.

More than two decades have passed since her death, in 1983, and yet the unique personality of Mona Bismarck still pervades the villa. Today, Mona's distinctive brand of cosmopolitan chic combines with the latest in contemporary comfort in what has to be one of the island's most exclusive holiday homes, perfect for both a romantic weekend or a fortnight long summer vacation with the family.

Accommodation is available for as many as 10 guests in two suites, one double room, two single rooms and an annex in the garden. The large living room and the terrace overlooking the entire sweep of Marina Grande provide idyllic in and outdoor venues in which to relax after a day exploring Capri.

The best way to start the day? A sumptuous al fresco breakfast, taken at leisure on the terrace, followed by a stroll through the villa's wonderfully fragrant gardens, enjoying gorgeous glimpses of the sea. Hidden away amidst the subtropical plants and the island's famous citrus trees, guests find the Von Bismarck family chapel and a patio furnished for outdoor dining.

From Villa Bismarck, the beaches of Palazzo a Mare and Marina Grande are just a short walk away. From here, you can easily rent a boat (with or without crew) with which to sail around the island or across the sea to the Amalfi Coast. Close to the port of Marina Grande, you can hop aboard Capri's funicular train, by far the quickest and easiest way to reach the legendary Piazzetta.
