"My house must be open to the sun and the wind and the voices of the sea - like a Greek temple - and light, light, light everywhere!"

This is one of the most famous expressions of our beloved Axel Munthe. Physician of the Royals of Sweden and well-known writer. His most famous book "The Story of Axel Munthe" has been translated into almost all the major languages of the world. He chose the island of Capri, and in particular Anacapri, as his home. We are sure because we are attracted by the wonderful nature of the island and by the particular attention that the permanent population residing on the island still dedicates to tourism today.
DEFINITELY ONE OF THE TOP 10 ATTRACTIONS RECOMMENDED BY OUR ASSOCIATION FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1) museum with the history of Acel Munthe and finds of great value
2) one of the most beautiful gardens in Italy
3) a breathtaking view
4) do not miss the visit to the chapel and the Sphinx of Axel Munthe, still today shrouded in mysteries about its origin.
Upon specific request and at certain times of the year (contact events@sanmichele.org) it is possible to organize events inside the Villa or request a visit to the ornithological research center of Mount Barbarossa
