Capri | Villa in Tiberio, Italy

Art-filled historic villa set amidst terraces and lush Mediterranean greenery on the captivating island of Capri
Enrich your mind and soul with a stay in this treasure trove of a home on the iconic island of Capri. Set in the northeast corner of the island, the villa is positioned next to Villa Lysis, a renowned cultural centre, and just a stone’s throw from the magnificent Villa Jovis, the former residence of the Emperior Tiberius.
Built by the talented intellectual Marguerite Hoffman (1884-1966), the house was designed by her personal friend, the Art Nouveau painter Melchior Lechter. Lechter’s contribution to the villa is still very much apparent, in its design, paintings, furniture and most significant, in the Art Nouveau fireplace in the lounge which features in many books about Capri. The villa has hosted many great cultural personalities and today, remains home to great art treasures, books, a Steinway grand piano and items of exceptional beauty.
The villa (125 m²) comprises an elegant lounge and dining room, with French windows out to a partially shaded terrace with dining table. A separate terracotta-paved patio sits under exquisitely curved arches, adorned by trailing plants. The kitchen is fully equipped with an impressive selection of dishes, cutlery and table coverings.
