Sold Christian De Sica's Villa In Capri

On the magical island of Capri, known as the "pearl" of the Gulf of Naples, there is this exclusive luxury villa with a unique view that includes the Bay of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno.

This villa is in a high panoramic position, offering sweeping views of the horizon and the enchanting profile of Vesuvius.

Easily reachable from the port either on foot, with a pleasant short walk from the famous square, or by car from a second access, this prestigious estate boasts exclusive terraces that overlook the entire island, offering a unique view of its picturesque landscape and the blue sea.

The splendid private garden that surrounds the villa is a triumph of scents and colors typical of this area, including lemon trees, rose bushes and lavender, with majestic olive trees that offer shaded areas and undisputed privacy.

Built at the behest of the American symbolist painter and poet Elihu Vedder between 1900 and 1903, the property is a period property in Capri's typical architectural style that stands in the scenographic context of what is now known as Villa I Quattro Venti, famous for having contributed to the affirmation of the timeless myth of Capri. The villa, over time, has always inspired great artists and writers of international fame, who worked here on the drafting of their greatest literary works, including D.H. Lawrence, Joseph Beuys and Cy Twombly.

Recently completely renovated with great attention to detail and particular attention to the choice of quality materials, this two-storey villa measures 250 square meters.

Access to the big panoramic living room takes place from one of the two terraces with sea view: extraordinarily bright thanks to the high vaulted ceilings and big windows that open onto the leafy garden and beyond, towards the sea, it is completed with a kitchen and a spare bathroom. Part of the living area can also be used as a bedroom and thanks to retractable blackout systems it can become a completely independent room with bathroom and convenient wardrobes.

On either side of the living area, the two big terraces are perfectly equipped to be comfortably lived in at any time of the day. A third magnificent panoramic terrace is located on the roof of the villa, offering views of the entire island.

The sleeping area, also accessible externally from the garden through big French windows, includes two double bedrooms, each with en-suite bathroom.

Next to the main villa, pleasantly surrounded by the leafy garden, there is an annex currently used as a SPA area, embellished with mosaic coverings and equipped with its own bathroom, which could be easily converted into a guesthouse.

This is a villa of great charm on the island of Capri, ideal for those wishing to stay in one of the most exclusive locations in the world, always associated with elite tourism, without sacrificing privacy and an unparalleled naturalistic context.
