Villa Le Scale - Anacapri

Situated in Anacapri, the highest and, arguably, the most panoramic part of the island of Capri, one finds the fabulous early 19th century country residence, Villa Le Scale. Once the property of the noble Barons Monti della Corte, the building, with its fine Neoclassical architectural style, is one of the very few surviving historic mansion houses which can be found in Anacapri.
Villa Le Scale enjoys a priviledged position in the immediate vicinity of the house built by the eminent Swedish physician and author, Axel Munthe, which has now been transformed in to a fascinating museum. Villa Le Scale's refined and graceful ambiance is the result of a comprehensive refurbishment project supervised by the owner, an antiquarian and art collector of great repute.
The transformation of historic house in exclusive and luxurious hotel is the result of months of meticulous work and a lifelong passion for artistic excellence. The mansion retains all the appeal of the Capri of yesteryear, enhanced by modern facilities, each carefully selected so as to be sensitive to the structure's original features. The hotel has beautifully furnished suites: the Artist's Suite, the Collector's Suite, the Oriental, the Venetian, the Voyager and the Louis XVI.
Facilities available to hotel guests include a heated swimming pool, solarium and lunch bar. The extensive grounds of Villa Le Scale offer visitors a fabulously colorful display of pine, palm and pomegranate trees, hibiscus, passion-flowers, hydrangeas, roses and magnolias, all of which fill the air with the sweet scents of the Mediterranean.
