Villa San Michelle

Rising on the cliffs of Anacapri, Villa San Michele is one of Capri’s most poetic landmarks- a villa built from a dream. Created by Swedish physician and writer Axel Munthe in the late 19th century, it sits amid terraced gardens, marble fragments, and sweeping sea views that seem suspended between earth and sky. Part home, part sanctuary, the villa reflects Munthe’s vision of openness to “the sun, the wind, and the voice of the sea” — a philosophy that still defines its quiet magnetism today.
