A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN DREAM WITH
OPEN EYES
In the heart of Anacapri, there is a gate leading to a haven of peace and tranquillity
which the hustle and bustle fail to penetrate, even in the height of the tourist
season. As the guest approaches the majestic columned stairway, the sounds
of human voices fade and the notes of birdsong become ever clearer, here greenery
is all pervading, enriched by fountains, statues, and glorious flower filled
beds.
This exclusive hideaway is Villa le Scale - a 19th century retreat of the nobility,
recently expertly restored by Anna Maria Coronato, the well known antiquarian
and interior decorator.
A chosen oasis of an international clientele, it boasts an enviable position
within easy reach of the island's busy social life yet a mere stone's throw from
the peaceful woodland and pathways leading up to the mountain top. Yet many fail
to venture beyond the Villa's grounds, choosing rather to soak up the atmosphere
of this splendid property or linger in the "secret garden" - where
bushes of Viburnum, groups of Datura, and arches of climbing roses create the
perfect setting in which to converse, read or quietly meditate.
Within the Villa are six magnificent suites: "The Artist", with frescoes by Enrica
Capone; "The Collector", with unique paintings of the Neapolitan school; "The
Louis XVI", with period furnishings; and "The Oriental", "The Venetian", and
"The Voyager", surrounded by the colours and scents of a literary garden, furnished
with antiques. All have modern facilities such as Turkish bath, plunge pool,
double shower, whirlpool bath, air conditioning, Satellite TV Lcd, safe, minibar,
internet connection, and a terrace with views of the sea and the park.
Amidst the blues and greens, one finds the elegant swimming pool and bar where
one can enjoy a light lunch.
The perfect location for a party, wedding or any special event, Villa le Scale
is a magical venue just waiting to be experienced.
