La Poeta

The beach in Marina Piccola, located within a short walk from the villa, offers umbrella and sun lounge rentals. There is also a bar and a restaurant. A supermarket and restaurant are located nearby, while all the main facilities, such as banks, bars, and shops are located in Capri town about a 15 minute walk or 5 minute drive. There is a bus stop for the local bus located right in front of the entrance gate of the villa.

Those familiar with Capri will know that this beautiful island is not an easy one to get around. Few properties are easily reached without the trials of steep slopes and endless steps. Some are only accessible on foot. La Poeta is blessed with countless privileges and comforts on this account. The villa is easily accessible both on foot (by crossing the famous little piazza, full of colorful Mediterranean flowers and plants), or by car. Its fabulous location by the Bay of Marina Piccola allows it to offer one of the best terraces on the island, and guests can enjoy the sunrise each morning. It is surely the right place to organize a cocktail party or a dinner for a special event.

The bedrooms, living room and dining room are all furnished in a style dating back to the 1700s. The villa has housed numerous actors and international figures, allowing each guest to dance the night away on the wonderful terraces with the island’s most amazing views of the Faraglioni rocks, the Fisherman’s Grotto, unghia marina, the rocks of the Sirens, Punta di Mulo, and Monte Solaro.

The first floor boasts 3 bedrooms, two doubles and a twin, all with en-suite baths. The first 3 bedrooms are upstairs. First is a large double bedroom with great views of the bay of Capri, hardwood floors, fireplace and en-suite bath with bathtub. The second bedroom is a twin bedroom with en-suite bath with shower and small annex room with chairs accessing a small terrace. The third is a double bedroom with en-suite bath featuring a marble tub, gold fixtures, and hardwood floors.

Down a flight of 20 steps lined with antique roman d?cor pieces takes one to the double living room with hand-made ceramic tile floors, antique fireplace, sofas, chairs, and antique abounding. There is also a small annex TV room with satellite TV and stereo system. The high, wood beam ceiling living room accesses a dining room with a long oak wood table for 8. The dining room, furnished in a style dating back to the 1700s is accentuated by a large fireplace with Persian rugs that light up the room, while the magnificent sea view is ever-present. This room leads out directly onto a terrace equipped for outdoor dining with rectangular dining table for 8 and great views.

The dining room also accesses the comfortable kitchen directly, furnished with a dining table and 4 chairs, 5 range stove top, oven, dishwasher, toaster, scale, and blender. There is also a storage room with 2 refrigerator/freezer units and washing machine, as well as a ? bathroom between the kitchen and dining room.

There are also 2 guest annexes located off of the terrace. The first is a twin bedroom (great for kids, young teenagers, or guest staff). This bedroom has en-suite facilities with an all-in-one shower unit. The second bedroom also enjoys en-suite facilities with a shower, as well as a third, single bed and a small 2-range kitchen with bar refrigerator.

The panoramic garden area is divided into various zones, all interconnected. Numerous lemon trees, pine trees, natural Mediterranean vegetation, palm trees, and Bougainvillea abound and the views are some of the best on the Island – directly over the Faraglioni Rocks on Capri. The main terrace, with its splendid white Roman columns is one of the focus points of the terrace.
