The Villa San Michele was built around the turn of the 19th century on the Isle of Capri, Italy, by the Swedish physician and author Axel Munthe. It`s a property that, above hosting history researchers every year, has increasingly become a touristic attraction. The property consists of a great villa with remarkable architecture, a museum, a beautiful garden and an event venue in breathtaking surroundings. The villa's gardens have panoramic views of the town of Capri and its harbour, the Sorrentine Peninsula, and Mount Vesuvius. The villa sits on a ledge at the top of the Phoenician Steps, between Anacapri and Capri, at a height of 327 meters above sea level. San Michele's gardens are adorned with many relics and works of art dating from ancient Egypt and other periods of classical antiquity. They now form part of the Grandi Giardini Italiani. In his later years, Axel Munthe wrote his haunting youthful memoir The Story of San Michele, which describes how he first discovered the island and built the villa, decorated with the remains of palaces built by the Ancient Romans which he found on his land. This colourfully written book was first published in 1929 and became an immediate worldwide success, being translated into many languages. It has been reprinted many times since then.
