Executive summary by darmansjah
The villa's gardens have panoramic views of the town of
Capri and its harbour, the Sorrentine Peninsula, and Mount Vesuvius. The villa
sits on a ledge at the top of the Phoenician Steps, between Anacapri and Capri,
at a height of 327 meters above sea level.
San Michele's gardens are adorned with many relics and works
of art dating from ancient Egypt and other periods of classical antiquity. They
now form part of the Grandi Giardini Italiani.
The story of the villa is recorded by Axel Munthe in his
book The Story of San Michele, first published in 1929 and reprinted many times
since then.
Between 1919 and 1920, Munthe was an unwilling landlord to
the outrageous socialite and muse Luisa Casati, who took possession of Villa
San Michele. This was described by the Scottish author Compton Mackenzie in his
diaries.
