Villa GardinoItaly, Amalfi Coast, Capri

Villa Gardino lays seaside right above the shoreline, immersed in a vast area of gardens and terraces. The property is built above the former Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus’ Palace by the Sea. Some of the original villa’s remains can still be seen on parts of the property.

The Villa Gardino consists of two connecting buildings extending over two floors. The first area, referred to as The Landlords Residence, blends naturally into the Saloni al Mare, or Lounges on the Sea, consisting of large common areas where guests can unite. Wide lounges with marble floors, vaulted ceilings, antique crystal lamps, important pieces of antique furniture and renowned works of art reflect the owner’s taste as a true art lover.

Upon entering the villa through the marble floored entrance hall, the visitor soon finds themselves in the living room featuring several couches and chairs forming various seating areas. A fireplace is located at one end of the room, while unique mosaics depicting early roman life decorate the walls and fine draperies adorn the windows. Natural light enters through French doors leading to a terrace and a crystal chandelier provides overhead lighting.
