The Villa is nowadays a 4 storey private house located on one of the most charming alley of the island. Originally it only had 2 floors and was built in the XIX century for a famous American painter who used it to entertain his many famous guests. He liked his Villa so much that he painted it with its numerous staircases and terraces, as the setting for a sensuous portrait of a dark-haired woman dressed in pink chiffon in his “Rooftop in Capri”.
