EDITORS COMMENTS
1. The Enchanting Villa San Michele: A Historical Haven on Capri's Cliffside Nestled on the picturesque island of Capri, Italy, lies the captivating Villa San Michele. This architectural masterpiece, located in Anacapri, dates back to the late 19th century and was the brainchild of Axel Munthe, a Swedish physician, writer, and recreational archaeologist. Munthe, enthralled by the island's rich history and natural beauty, deemed the site of Villa San Michele the ideal location to build a house where he could showcase his extensive collection of relics and classical artefacts. The property, previously occupied by an ancient Roman construction, was a perfect blend of history and the natural surroundings. As you traverse the winding path leading to the villa, the serene atmosphere envelops you. The pathway, cut into the hillside, reveals glimpses of the villa's grandeur through the lush vegetation. The villa, perched atop a rocky cliff, boasts an impressive facade adorned with Doric columns, evoking the grandeur of ancient Greece. The villa's architecture seamlessly merges with the natural beauty of the landscape, creating a harmonious blend of history and nature. The cliff top setting offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea, making it an idyllic retreat for those seeking tranquility and inspiration. As you explore the villa's grounds, you'll encounter various relics and artefacts, each with its own fascinating story. The Villa San Michele is not just a testament to Munthe's vision but also a reminder of the island's rich history and cultural heritage. Step back in time and immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Villa San Michele, a hidden gem nestled on the hillside of Capri. This photograph captures the essence of this historical haven, inviting you to explore its mysteries and marvel at its beauty.
