La Casina Rossa - Capri
3 Bedrooms (2 double, 1 twin) - Garden
Luxuriant, extraordinary, and such a mild climate. Capri is a Mediterranean island of calcareous origin that has been visited over the centuries by intellectuals, artists and writers, all enthralled by its magical beauty. A mix of history, nature, worldliness, culture and events that daily blend together and bring the Legend of Capri to life; a legend that sees no comparison anywhere in the world. Divided into two districts of Capri and Anacapri and with the quaint villages of Marina Grande, around the harbor and Marina Piccola, the isle has a prevalently mountainous landscape. The steep, jagged coastline is penetrated by fascinating grottoes - 65 of them, including the outstanding Blue Grotto - and flanked by enthralling rocks, above all the famous Faraglioni, now the symbol of Capri.
This beautiful property is a true original Caprese house dating back to the 1900s, in a nicest red colour, with a typical pergolato, fantastic sea views and a flowering mediterranean vegetation all around. The garden based on many different terraces is a complicate set of spots with sweeping views out over the Mediterranean, the famous Marina Piccola, and the town center of Capri, perched on the hilltop above.
The Casina Rossa (the red small home) is situated on the main road leading up from the Marina Piccola beach and is only a 5-minute walk from the town square and famous Piazzetta. The property has 2 private accesse one to go down to the beach in 10minutes and the other to go to Piazzetta.
