With breathtaking views of the sea and Faraglioni Island, it's no wonder this villa has a creative past. It's the former hideaway of Virgilio Lilli, a renowned Italian painter and journalist. As much as we love the Caprese character indoors – think blue and white tiles, exposed stone, and large windows showing off the scenery – it's the outdoor space that really packs a punch. Spend the afternoons by the private pool, tuck into an alfresco feast while watching the boats sail past, or retreat to the lemon grove for some peace and quiet. Keen to explore the island? The famous Piazzetta is a fifteen-minute stroll away, and the beach is walkable in thirty.

About Capri

One of three main islands that sit just off the Amalfi Coast, Capri isn’t particularly large — it’s only roughly four miles long — but it’s sure to leave a massive impact on anybody who visits. People have been flocking over to this picturesque spot since at least Roman times, with extant ruins waiting to be discovered at Villa Jovis and Bagni Tiberio. It has long been the favoured resort...
