Villa Le Scale Anacapri

Just off the lane leading to Anacapri's Villa San Michele Museum, sheltered from the chatter and curious eyes of the crowds, lies Villa Le Scale an intimate 8 room hotel situated within an elegant 19th century property once home to the Monti delle Corte family.

Unlike the majority of the aristocratic residences built on the island of Capri in the 1800's, Villa le Scale has remained almost unaltered by the passage of time. The owner of the hotel, one of Italy's best known antiquarians and interior designers, personally supervised the meticulous restoration work carried out on the edifice and selected the rare artworks which feature in both guest and public rooms from her own collection.

Art and travel are the themes which have inspired the interiors of Villa le Scale's individually appointed rooms and suites, all of which home to invaluable antiques and unique pieces of period furniture. The careful integration of the latest in modern audiovisual and communication technology, in the form of LCD satellite televisions, DVD players, and high speed internet access, ensures that all of the contemporary traveller's needs are met. Designed so as to provide the perfect environment in which to relax and regenerate, each and every one of the hotel's bathrooms functions as a veritable mini spa where, depending on the suite, guests find a Turkish bath, a plunge pool, duplex shower, or Jacuzzi.

A flight of old stone steps leads guests from the villa to the "Secret Garden", the air of which laced with the exquisite scent of Mediterranean flowers. Here, in this perfumed oasis of peace and tranquillity, visitors find the prefect place where to spend a few minutes or even hours reading a novel or simply meditating. Guest staying at Villa La Scale are granted the use of the property's attractive pool located in a sunny and particularly secluded area of the gardens.

On request and according to availability, Villa Le Scale is available for exclusive use and as venue for high-level social events.
