The most beautiful villas in Capri

Isola di Capri - In Capri there are many villas that were built in the early twentieth century and which still arouse admiration for their beauty. One of these is called Villa Discopoli, a term that comes from the Latin and indicates the fact that it was built on the rocks, on which it still stands. Villa Discopoli rises along via Tragara, which many call via dei Poeti.

On the gate of this building, Rilke, a well-known German-language poet, posted a sign stating that even roses were sleeping in that garden. The twin villa is Villa Capricorno, also characterized by an eclectic style so different from that to which the people of Capri were accustomed. This building was once called Villa Andreas because Hugo Andreas lived there, who wanted an exotic garden. In the past there were animals such as parrots, monkeys and antelopes. Another valuable building on the island is Casetta Arturo, which is famous because Pablo Neruda lived there for a certain period, who wrote I versi del Capitano here under a pseudonym.
