Description

”I want my house open to sun and wind and the voice of the sea, like a Greek temple, and light, light, light everywhere!”
Villa San Michele is the life’s work at Capri of the Swedish physician and author Axel Munthe (1857–1949). It is surrounded by an impressive garden, which recently won the prize as Italy’s most beautiful private park. Behind it is the Barbarossa mountain, that Axel Munthe turned into a sanctuary for migratory birds.
Villa San Michele houses an important art collection. The majority is of Roman, Etruscan or Egyptian origin, many are sculptures. Munthe himself chose them for their beauty as well as their symbolic significance. One of these is the fabled 3200-year-old sphinx.
Axel Munthe built Villa San Michele at the beginning of the 20th century. Axel Munthe also bought the mountainside which overlooks Villa San Michele. The reason for the purchase was that Munthe wanted to prohibit the netting and trapping of wild birds – an important and lucrative business on Capri at the time.
Like an eagle’s nest, perched at the top is the thousand-year-old castle called Castello Barbarossa. In the spring, ornithologists use it to study migratory birds.
