A beautiful villa immersed in Mediterranean vegetation, overlooking the sea
Villa Douglas is one of the best-positioned luxury villas in Capri, affording endless views of the sea and the Gulf of Naples. The property was built in the 1700s, and therefore spans a long historical period during which time it played host to several writers, as well as a noble Italian family.
This beautiful property is surrounded by ancient oak trees, olive trees, cypresses and Mediterranean pines, creating a veritable haven of peace and intimacy. Much of the look of the garden is to the merit of Norman Douglas, who spent time landscaping the domain as a tribute to nature, rather than as a man-made décor.
Along with the ample terraces and gardens, the villa boasts a modern, eco-friendly swimming pool, linked to the villa by a stone path surrounded by verdant vegetation. There is also a pool house, which provides a spacious changing room, bathroom facilities and storage. On the surrounding terrace is a dining table where guests can enjoy meals together whilst watching the sun set behind the island of Ischia.
The villa has an ample interior space, aesthetically designed and enhanced by its many important owners throughout the centuries. Each room in the property overlooks the garden and the sea. There is a central maze-like set of staircases leading towards different rooms.
The living room is ample and boasts a large custom-made sofa alongside the overlooking the garden. Following on from here is the dining room with a large floor-to-ceiling window, filling the room with natural light and comprising a round marble table surrounded by wooden chairs, ideal for hosting a traditional Italian dinner party with friends and family.
Up to 11 guests can be accommodated in the beautifully-appointed bedrooms, three of which feature en-suite facilities. Upon request, a dependence with an additional bedroom with en-suite can host an extra two people.
Thanks to its ample space and multiple bedrooms, Villa Douglas is suitable for guests who wish to travel with a big group of friends or family.
NB: The villa is located in a pedestrian-only area of Capri. Luggage and shopping can be delivered via special electric vehicles.
