LOCATION

Villa Le Scale is situated along the lane which leads to the museum of Villa S Michele, a residence originally commissioned by the Swedish writer Axel Munthe who spent a lengthy period on the island. Indeed, as often reported in the Grand Tour journals, Capri symbolized the ideal haven for artists and other key figures of European culture. Today, it is still possible to experience the unique atmosphere which enraptured those famous visitors years ago. The refined hospitality offered by Villa Le Scale represents the perfect synthesis between the past and present of the island.
Choosing Capri for a holiday means allowing oneself to be seduced by the astounding natural beauty, the unexpected tranquillity, the vibrant colours and the intoxicating perfumes of the island. Capri can be reached from Naples or Sorrento by frequent daily ferry or hydrofoil services. Helicopter or Limousine transfers from or to the airport of Naples and Rome are available on request

Capri offers visitors numerous opportunities to explore sites of historical interest and to behold the natural beauty of the island. One of these is the walk along the Pizzolungo which links the spectacular view of the Faraglioni at Tragara to the dramatically beautiful natural arch, passing by the surprisingly bold Villa Malapart - a building in stark contrast with the surrounding cliff face, Another route is along the magnificent path tracing the ancient way which links the old watch towers dotted along the northern coast of the island, from the Blue Grotto to Punta carena. No trip to the island can be considered complete without having made an excursion by boat around the island to discover the numerous bays, caves and rocky creeks which characterise the coast. Why not combine this trip with a little scuba diving and a visit the famous Blue Grotto? From the island day trips can be made to Naples; to visit the Monastery of Santa Chiara, Piazza S Domenico Maggiore, S. Gregorio Armeno, the Palazzo of the historic centre, and subterranean Naples , to the archaeological sites of Pompei, and to the towns of the spectacular Amalfi Coast - Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi and Salerno.
