Historical estate for sale in the leafy
Perched in a privileged position in Capri, this refined 90-sqm apartment with a 60-sqm panoramic terrace is housed in a historic villa that has long been a retreat for artists and intellectuals.

Architecturally, the villa reflects oriental and Moorish influences, with a symbolic diagonal alignment offering sweeping views from the Gulf of Naples to the open sea. Inside, the apartment offers a welcoming entrance, a living room with a fireplace, a dining area, a kitchen, a guest bathroom, and a master suite. The expansive terrace, framed by pine trees, provides a serene private oasis, combining privacy, elegance, and the timeless spirit of Capri. Ref: 14365
