Villa Lennox Amalfi Coast

Villa Lennox is set in a prestigious and central location. This lovely and unique property is located only a 10 minute walk from the Piazzetta (main square) and the center of Capri.

14 steps lead up to the main entrance gate and an alleyway leads through a luxurious garden among tall pine trees and cypress trees. From here, 21 steps take you up to the main terrace. Right in front of the house is the Italian style garden with flower beds planted with white roses and oleander trees.

Villa Lennox came into its current owner’s family in the late 19th century and its elegance and exclusivity makes it one of the most desirable properties on the island of Capri. Cool marble and hand-made tiles on the floors, vaulted ceilings, antique furniture, and private balconies give the interiors of the villa a timeless feel. On the outside, the villa’s architecture has clean lines with the old round shaped vaults painted white throughout in a typical Caprese style. Its garden is divided onto 3 levels, the top level, after walking through a small lemon grove, hides its large pool deck.

The garden, which spreads all around the house, continues up a hill, encompassing the entrance driveway which was formed from an ancient Roman chariot path. The landscape of this magic garden was created in 1894 and is characterized by shady pine trees, roses, grape vines, olive terraces, columns, and even a neo-Greek temple. It’s the largest garden on the Island of Capri and has a spectacular Italian layout in a Rinascimento style.
