Overview
The island of Capri, symbolized the world over as the ideal haven for artists, key figures of European culture, and the traveling elite, still offers the unique atmosphere that enraptured its initial famous visitors years ago. Villa Astraios, situated in the center of Anacapri, offers its guest the maximum in hospitality, representing the perfect synthesis between the islands past and present.
Choosing Capri for a holiday means allowing oneself to be seduced by its astounding natural beauty, unexpected tranquility, vibrant colors, and intoxicating scents. Capri offers visitors numerous opportunities to explore sites of historical interest and to behold the natural beauty of the island.
Villa Astraios, a historical Caprian country residence in a Neapolitan style dating back to the early 17th Century, is one of the few island villas still intact from that era. The present owner has painstakingly restored the villa and, due to the workmanship and superb interior decoration inspired by its themes of art, this historical residence retains all of its initial charm. Thanks to the careful restoration carried out by the owner, the villa, while being transformed into an exclusive historical residence, has maintained its historical and architectural features. Behind the villa’s green gate, one finds an enchanting world so idyllic peace that takes one into is paradise. Steps ornamented by columns lead through the garden up to the main entrance. In this glorious setting, with its century old trees, marvelous displays of flowers, and a peacock-blue pool hidden amongst the flora, one remains amazed by the hospitality at hand.
The overwhelming lounge is adorned by arch shaped ceilings, paintings, chromatic lighting, larges sofas in blue velvet, and coffee tables. The beautiful floor with ancient hand painted tiles spreads through the villa from the living area to the dining room to the winter garden: the dining room boasts a glass-topped table and 10 chairs and interfaces with the kitchen, which is accessible only to the staff. The winter garden offers glass walls opening into the garden, allowing its greenery and natural light to spread inside the home, while its numerous white sofas lend for comfortable seating on a cool evening.
