Considering the Hotel Bristol in Capri?

Villa San Michele by TRimer
At the ancient entrance to Anacapri and occupying the site of an ancient Roman villa, Villa San Michele was built by Axel Munthe (1857-1949), who was physician to the Swedish royal family and also practiced both in Paris and in Rome, thereby building up a substantial fortune, much of which he plowed into real estate in Anacapri. The villa is set around Roman-style courtyards, marble walkways, and atriums, connected by a spectacular pergola path overlooking the entire Bay of Naples. Rooms display the doctor's varied collections, which range from bric-a-brac to classical antiquities. Medieval choir stalls, Renaissance lecterns, and gilded statutes of saints comprise the esthetic setting, with some rooms preserving the doctor's personal memorabilia.
