VILLA SAN MICHELE
Axel Munthe's patrician residence, now a museum, is an example of a bourgeois villa of the early 20th century
Superb residence of Axel Munthe (1857-1949), a Swedish doctor who settled in Capri from 1887. He published The Book of San Michele (1929), the success of which will maintain the myth of Capri. This patrician residence is very representative of the bourgeois villa of the early twentieth century. It has not changed since its transformation into a museum. See in particular the antique pieces and the numerous masterpieces. The magnificent garden, planted with various species, offers a superb view of the Gulf of Naples. It is listed among the most beautiful gardens in Italy.
