Stepping into Villa Platani B, guests are greeted by a grand foyer, adorned with timeless Italian decor that sets the tone for the entire residence. The expansive living room, characterized by high, domed ceilings and large arched windows inviting floods of natural light. These windows draw guests toward the spectacular views of the Gulf of Sorrento, Vesuvio, Naples Bay, and the Amalfi Coast, not to mention the villa’s magical gardens brimming with bougainvillea, roses and jasmine. Plush sofas beckon you to unwind, while the ornate fireplace creates an inviting ambiance on cooler evenings.
A fully equipped kitchen beckons culinary enthusiasts to try their hand at local dishes, boasting state-of-the-art appliances and ample space for communal cooking experiences. Whether you’re looking to toss together a Mediterranean Salad or you’re preparing a holiday feast for family and friends, this kitchen has everything you could need (including a chef at an extra cost). The combined villas sleeping quarters are spread across multiple buildings and levels, ensuring privacy and comfort for each guest.
On the ground floor of Platani B can be found another large living room, kitchen, dining terrace, WC, and garden dining setting overlooking the sea. The first floor provides a further three king-sized bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a twin bedroom with external bathroom and shower, and another living room.
An interconnected building contains two more double bedrooms, WC, kitchen and pizza oven and swimming pool. While a separate annex features a living room with kitchen, a double bedroom with ensuite shower and a twin bedroom with ensuite bathroom.
Villa Platani B’s outdoor spaces are nothing short of an oasis. Arrayed over various enchanting tiers of cascading terraces, guests can enjoy a range of sheltered lounge areas, alfresco dining spaces, inclusive of a handy pizza oven.
This extraordinary villa isn't just a place to stay; it's a destination in itself. From its meticulously designed interiors to the captivating outdoor spaces, Villa Platani A invites guests to indulge in the splendours of Capri.
For those who relish the idea of hosting larger gatherings, the allure of this villa is heightened by the option to combine it with the adjacent Villa Platani A. This unique feature transforms the estate into a sprawling oasis that can graciously accommodate up to 24 guests, making it an ideal choice for celebrations, reunions, or a memorable getaway with friends and family.
Villa Platani B is ideally situated on one of Capri’s most famous cliffsides, soaring above the Tyrrhenian Sea and only a few minutes’ walk (aided by the private funicular) to Capri’s iconic main square - the Piazzetta. From here you can continue all via Vittorio Emanuele toward the Grand Hotel Quisisana and via Camerelle – a street renowned for its high-end boutiques.
Access to the beach from the villa is very easy, with Marina Piccola (4-minute drive) and its famous beach club La Fontelina close at hand. Overlooking the beach are the Gardens of Augustus: a fantastically flowery perch from which to view the Faraglioni rock formations.
Perhaps the best way of exploring the island of Capri is by stepping off the island itself and circumnavigating its coastline of caves, coves, and inlets by renting a canoe, kayak, stand-up paddle board, or boat. Via this medium you’ll be able to discover a great many spots that would be difficult to reach otherwise (and thereby less crowded!).
If you prefer to keep your feet dry, Capri’s stunning elevated vistas make it a hiker’s paradise. The Passetiello is a wonderful circular route that starts in Anacapri and traverses through woods, and past famous villas such as San Michele and Scala Fenicia on its way up to the summit of Monte Solaro. Another hiking trail worth checking out takes you around the island’s ancient defences, along 19th century walkways and to the Punta Carena lighthouse. Of course if hiking isn’t your fancy, you can always take the chairlift from the main square of Anacapri to the summit of Monte Solaro.
