VILLA LE SCALE
Anacapri, Italy
Capri is Jackie 0 sunglasses but Anacapri was always in the shade of the rest
of the island. Until Villa Le Scale came along, that is. It's the new cool
place to be. This bewitching old villa is antiquecontemporary, with gardens
of cascading terraces and gazebos, fragrant with jasmine and lavender.
Think
creamy stucco walls, Florentine inlaidmarble tables, Indianglass table
lamps. If you wake up in the bronze and green Venetian Room, a gilded archway
leads to a Turkish bath. Le Scale has the island's prettiest pool. A lavenderscented
breath from the Blue Grotto, the villa is next to Julia Roberts's favourite
shoe shop, the Art of the Sandal.
