Casa degli Elefanti – Capri Island
5 Bedrooms (1 triple, 4 double/twin) Casa degli Elefanti is ideal for a large family or group of friends wishing to stay right in the heart of the action yet with plenty of private garden space to relax in.
The Casa degli Elefanti is in a prime location less than ten minutes from both the famous Capri Piazzetta and the nearest beach. There is so much to see and do on Capri; a boat trip around the island and into the fabled Blue Grotto, a visit to the Emperor Tiberius' villas or the house-museum of the Swedish physician Axel Munthe.
At least one evening aperitif in the celebrity-studded
central Piazzetta of Capri is an absolute must. Although the island of Capri
has long been a favourite haunt of the international jet set, it manages to
retain an idyllic beauty and there are some excellent walking trails across
Monte Solaro and over to the three picture-postcard Faraglioni rocks.
Monte Solaro soars almost 600 metres above sea level and there is also a chairlift from Anacapri. From the summit, you can see not only the whole island but also across to the Amalfi Coast, the city of Naples and the mountains of Calabria. Legend has it that Ulysses was seduced by the sirens at Marina Piccola.
This delightful little bay is sheltered from the wind and
it's highly likely that you'll find the locals enjoying the sun here in the
winter and the fresh fish restaurants are excellent. The panoramic via Krupp
takes you from Marina Piccola to Capri via the Gardens of Augustus. The island
of Capri covers a total of only 10km2 so most of the attractions on the island
are within a reasonable walking distance or a short taxi ride away.
Accommodation
This beautiful Italian style villa was built in the 1950s
during the heyday of Capri's stardom. In addition to being in the centre of all
the glamour, the beach is only a five minute walk away and there are 500m2 of
private gardens to kick back in afterwards. In fact, Casa degli Elefanti has
hosted some of the most celebrated parties on the island over the years. This
exquisitely furnished, light and airy villa comfortably sleeps up to eleven
guests in 5 double bedrooms on two floors.
On the main floor, there are two spacious double bedrooms
and each has its own large bathroom with bathtub and shower. There is also an
enormous living room, with two relaxing areas and a TV corner, which has access
to the big terraces. The dining area easily seats eight people around a
splendid wooden table. The kitchen is stylishly modern with Capri tiles and
fully equipped with all the necessaries including oven and dishwasher.
On the ground floor, there are three further double bedrooms
with three en suite bathrooms, another comfortable living room with dining area
and a smaller, but fully functional, kitchen. One of these three double
bedrooms has an extra single bed for a child if needed and one is a spacious
twin room with a walk-in closet. The bathroom for the twin room has a shower
whereas the other two have both tub and shower.
The fully furnished outside dining area on the patio is ideal for al fresco evening meals under the stars and there is an extra useful outside shower in the garden for post-beach rinse-offs.. The garden areas are beautiful maintained with trailing Mediterranean plants and there are plenty of shady corners with tables and chairs to hide away with a good book.
