“This popular Capri of rocks, of tiny vineyards, of modest, hard-working, essential people, has a fascinating charm.”

These words, by poet Pablo Neruda, are his invitation to seek out a more authentic side of Capri – and it’s one that was accepted by entrepreneur Fabrizio Verde when he chose the island as his home.

The first thing you notice is his garden – designed by Antonella Sartogo, it’s like a secret catwalk doused in heady perfumes. Each step offers panoramic views: on one side, Capri’s countryside, on the other, the water.

Inside, as you enter the common areas, the views reveal an ever-changing Capri. This connection between nature and architecture is made stronger by architect Giuliano Andrea dell’Uva’s designs.

The light and colours reflect those of the island. In the living room, the fireplace reveals decorative designs that enhance the luminous materials. The copper-green of Vietri’s artisan ceramics is typical of Capri fireplaces in the 1950s, and here it’s paired with the bright furnishings of the ’70s.
The mix of styles suggests movement, while the colours and fabrics harmonise and evoke the island’s lifestyle: fresh, light, never boring, always elegant, with the mostly custom-designed furnishings paying tribute to the land and sea.
