2 bedrooms apartment, 230 m²

Capri, Naples (province)

In the heart of the island of Capri, in a privileged position that dominates both the Gulf of Naples and Marina Piccola, there is an iconic home where the charm of the past period merges with the present by continuing to live in a place of enchanting. The entire main floor of the villa is now for sale, offering an internal area of 230 square meters and outdoor spaces for 250 square meters, including 150 square meters of garden, where you can also build a swimming pool, and a magnificent panoramic terrace of 100 square meters. The rooms, currently divided into two apartments, can easily be combined into a single house, always preserving that original character of a shelter for artists and intellectuals who over the decades have found inspiration between these walls.
Built between 1898 and 1903, the Villa Quattro Venti is the result of the vision of the American symbolist painter Elihu Vedder, famous for its illustrations of the Rubáiyát of the Persian poet Omar Khayám. The artist, together with the Capri masters Luigi and Giovanni Desire known as the "Marzanielli", built this villa in an oriental style, inspired by the energy of the four cardinal points: north, south, east and west. The building is distinguished by the refined interior decorations with geometric motifs and references to the Persian art, with intertwined arches and colored windows.
The house for sale consists of two adjoining apartments, easily reunitable according to the needs and wishes of the owners.
Outside, the property includes a luxuriant garden of 150 sqm, enhanced by ancient olive trees and rare plants introduced by Vedder in homage to the trips made to the East. Furthermore, here is the ideal space for installing a swimming pool. The 100 sq.m terrace offers a natural stage on the Gulf of Naples and Marina Piccola, perfect for dinners and convivial moments outdoors. All around, a vast pine forest embraces the villa giving privacy and a direct and intimate contact with nature
