1. Villa San Michele is a stunning property located on the island of Capri, off the coast of Italy. It was built in the late 19th century by the Swedish physician and author, Axel Munthe. The villa is renowned for its breathtaking views of the Gulf of Naples and its beautiful gardens.

The architecture of Villa San Michele showcases a perfect blend of Roman, Egyptian, and Syrian styles, featuring ancient artifacts and impressive columns. The villa has been converted into a museum, showcasing Munthe’s extensive art collection, archaeological finds, and personal belongings. Visitors can explore the various rooms, including the library, musical salon, and garden terrace.

One of the most interesting features of Villa San Michele is the famous Sphinx statue that overlooks the sea. Munthe acquired this statue from the Temple of Serapis in ancient Rome, and it has become an iconic symbol of the villa.
