Wow! First the property: Meticulously designed terraces, sloping into the hillside amongst lush gardens, abundant with flowers, trees, citrus, and vegetables. The views looking west from the terraces just outside of the two rental units are breathtaking, particularly at sunset as the view is looking to the southwest.
The way the property is designed, using the hillside, the units are private from the main owners home, and the pool is in its own private little hillside terrace as well, making the perfect dynamic for privacy.
One aspect to the property that a prospective renter may want to consider is coming with another couple and renting both of the small apartments that are part of this private villa home. Each couple would have privacy and both have their own bathroom and small kitchen - the perfect set up!
The experience: Where else could you possibly find a "Local Residential Experience" at a fabulous villa on Capri? Renting villas in Italy is common, but Capri combines all the best that Italy has to offer in an amazing setting perched over the sea! The best part is that most people only come to Capri for the day, turning it into a sleepy little island community from 3pm each day till the next day at around 11am. Not to mention the villa sits in the best area of the island away from all of the tourist activity.
The local restaurant within walking distance has amazing food, service and ambiance, the walk to town takes 25 minutes and serves as an excellent morning exercise ritual to sit in the Piazza and enjoy a Cappucino/Croissant as you plan your grocery needs to procure for lunch or dinner from the quaint, friendly and abundant food shops in the charming little town of Anacapri.
The owners could not be more helpful or easy to work with on everything from bookings, to transportation and general site seeing information on Capri, or the mainland attractions within a one hour boat ride away: Sorrento, Pompeii, Positano, and Amalfi,"The rest of the best Italy has to offer".
I could not recommend this experience more highly and will return to this little slice of "Capri Villa Life", as often as possible!
