The Villa
Where beauty and history become emotion
Villa Murat is a fabulous place for luxury weekly stays, events and weddings.
The villa has 5 bedrooms available, each with luxury bathrooms and lounges complete with antique furniture guaranteeing a a stay of maximum relaxation.
All rooms have large windows or balconies with sea views and are characterized by the wealth of furniture and vintage items and painted ceilings.
One of the rooms is kept perfectly intact because it is assumed that it is precisely that which in October 1808 has stayed the king Joachim Murat .
Besides the constant presence of a guardian and housekeeper, who reside in the villa and are always available to help guests, the accommodation has all comforts: swimming pool, telephone, internet connection, independent heating, car park, fine bed linen and towels, and outdoor barbecue.
Built on two levels, the ground floor and first floor both have sea-view terraces. A sumptuous and historical staircase connects the ground and first floors and the solarium with its fantastic view; the stone was excavated from the coast near the beach of Marina della Lobra, and the staircase enriched with 18th century mosaics.
The facade looks stupendous, especially when illuminated at night in the courtyard with its artistic wrought iron fencing, paving and centuries old olive tree. The windows and balconies give us fragments of history to reflect on: the coat of arms of the Sersale family, and two inscriptions giving testimony to when Joachin Murat, King of Naples, stayed here during the capture of Capri in 1808; one inscription from 1928 and the other from Massa Lubrense town council in 2008 to celebrate the bicentenary of the event.
Because of its specific structure, the villa is not suitable for children under 6 years old.
