Francesca Marchi is pleased to invite you to a new elegant and exclusive residence in the heart of the Blue Island, in one of the most evocative views of Capri. Immerse in silence in a villa that has preserved the charm of Capri style and spirit; immerse in the wonder of an ancient Mediterranean garden, where lemon trees, bougainvillea, olive trees, fig trees, tropical plants, and flowers explode with their colors and scents.

An avenue of mediterranean plants will take you to the secret garden where time has stopped and your eyes will melt into the blue sea of Capri.

The yoga lessons, the big breakfasts, and the candlelit dinners under the stars will take place outdoors in the garden or on the romantic terrace in front of the breathtaking Capri sunsets and the sunrises that rise from the Gulf of Sorrento and the breath of the Dolce Vita of other times.

The villa is located in an amazing position on the bay of Marina Piccola, very close to Piazzetta and the center of Capri.
