VILLA MARINA PICCOLA - CAPRI ISLAND

3 Bedrooms

Location and Surrounding Area
Located on the glamorous island of Capri, this charming three-bedroom villa is situated just minutes away from the famous Piazzetta, the main square of the island. A popular destination since the 19th century, Capri is notable for its residences, gardens, and Roman ruins. With its whitewashed buildings and car-free streets, Capri exudes a cinematic air. Steep cliffs rise majestically from an impossibly blue sea, elegant villas drip with wisteria, and even the trees seem to be carefully manicured.

Famous via Krupp hairpins down to Marina Piccola, a charming beach hangout surrounded by cliffs, and a good place for a swim. You can rent a comfortable sun bed at La Canzone del Mare beach club, which even includes a tiny stretch of sand. It is quite a climb to get up to the ruins of Emperor Tiberius's Villa Jovis to the northeast of town, but once you reach the top, you get an eyeful of “some of the loveliest scenery on earth,” according to Graham Greene.

The Piazzetta, Capri's elegant open-air drawing room, lies at the heart of the historic town. This picturesque square is complete with an ancient church and lovely bell tower and filled with tables from bars whose cream-jacketed waiters vie for trade among passers-by from early in the morning until well after evening. Everyone who comes to Capri passes through this square at some point, so once aperitivo hour approaches, grab a seat and order an Aperol spritz.

One of Capri’s most magical sights is the Grotta Azzurra (the Blue Grotto), an unusual sea cave illuminated by an otherworldly blue light. The easiest way to visit is to take a boat tour from Marina Grande. Beautiful though it is, the Grotta is extremely popular in the summer. Sunlight enters through a small underwater aperture and is refracted through the water. This, combined with the reflection of the light off the white sandy seafloor, produces the vivid blue effect to which the cave owes its name.

Villa Marina Piccola is 50 km from Naples Capodichino International Airport and 279 km from Rome Leonardo da Vinci International Airport.
