The Place

of Capri. You can reach the house on foot from the famous Piazzetta if taking
the characteristic pedestrian streets. You will arrive in front of a beautiful
wrought iron gate which opens to a long white colonnade supporting a wisteria
pergola. The colonnade leads you to the entrance of the villa through a garden
rich in trees and flowers. In the center of the garden, in the middle of a
beautiful green lawn, you will find a playground for kids which includes a
2x4-meter (6 x 13 feet) swimming-pool. In a secluded area, there is a gazebo
furnished with tables and chairs. The garden and its facilities are available to
all the guests of Villa Dorotea. Villa Dorotea consists of three apartments and
one studio apartment.

terrace opposite the entrance to the living-room is covered by a wooden pergola,
being a perfect place to enjoy meals outdoor. The area is furnished with a table
and chairs made from wood. The sun-drenched area of the terrace has wicker
armchairs and a beautiful masonry bench covered with cushions. The patio door on

of heaven with the green of the Mediterranean vegetation and the deep blue of
the sea…
