Villa overlooking the Faraglioni

In Capri, one of the most popular destinations for international tourism, in via Tragara, the main shopping street and one of the most prestigious locations on the island, we offer for sale “Lo Smeraldo”, a historic villa from the 1900s  with a view on the famous Faraglioni. The Villa had  numerous illustrious owners such as Alberto Albertini, editor of Corriere della Sera and the Armenian billionaire Felix Mechoulam, former owner of Villa Lysis and the Hotel Quisisana, not far from the property. The entire villa consists of six perfectly autonomous units with their own systems, services and independent entrances. The unit for sale is the most prestigious and has a garden on the ground floor and a private terrace with swimming pool overlooking the Faraglioni. The apartment consists of six rooms and four bathrooms for a total of 267 square meters and a private garden of 800 square meters including a swimming pool. The house has an independent entrance that crosses the entire property garden full of lush Mediterranean plants and flowers. The property has two entrances: the main one leads to the triple living room with dining area and sea view, two large equipped kitchens and a breakfast area. Entering the sleeping area we find 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 of which are en suite. All the interiors have been tastefully designed and have undergone constant maintenance over time which has allowed some small details from the past, such as the period coverings, to arrive today in excellent condition. The Villa is equipped with an independent air conditioning system with cold air for the summer and hot air for the winter. The house has well-preserved fine finishes, such as Vietri ceramics in the bathroom, white lacquered wooden window frames with double glazing, internal wooden frames, internal wooden doors and vaulted ceilings. The Villa has preserved an atmosphere that allows you to breathe the history that took place within its walls, including the important meetings of the famous circle of writers gathered around Alberto Albertini, director of Corriere della Sera. The splendid property is surrounded by a park of about 20,000 square meters rich in native vegetation such as olive trees and Mediterranean scrub. The private swimming pool of 40 square meters is located on the terrace from which you can enjoy one of the most evocative views offered by Capri directly overlooking the famous “Faraglioni”.
