The latest addition to my Wanderlust Wish List is the luxurious
Villa Le Scale on the Isle of Capri, Italy. This exclusive destination looks like the perfect antidote to my winter blues.
One of the few remaining historic houses on the Isle
of Capri, Villa Le Scale dates back to the early 19th century and was once
the summer home of the Barone Monti delle Corte.
Villa Le Scale was left abandoned and in disrepair for many years but it has been lovingly restored into a chic boutique hotel by the new owner.
Each of Villa Le Scale's seven rooms & suites has a unique design and is lavishly decorated with antiques and fine furnishings. (The owner, Signora Anna Maria Coronato, is an arts & antiques dealer.) Most of the rooms and suites open on to a flower decked terrace or patio and offer a view of the sea. The fully staffed villa is also available for exclusive rental.
Villa Le Scale is located in Anacapri on the Isle of
Capri, a short distance from the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento and Naples. The
island is accessible by hydrofoil, ferry or helicopter. Villa Le Scale is happy
to arrange transfers by private boat or helicopter at your request. The nearest international airport to Capri is Naples Capodichino.
For more information, visit the Villa Le Scale website. If you get there before I do, send a postcard!
