VILLA REGINA - villa storica
Situated in the village of Santa Maria
Annunziata, on the furthermost point of the
peninsula, which descends towards San Liberatore
and the Tower of Toledo, this luxurious villa is
set in one of the most beautiful natural
landscapes of Massa Lubrense: from every window
and balcony, from every terrace and from the
solarium, one’s eyes fall upon Capri, Ischia,
Marina della Lobra and Vesuvius, which, it
seems, one can touch with an outstretched hand.

Capri built in the 17th century in the small

preserved its history, it is today, the perfect
fusion between past and present.
As one crosses the magnificent entrance, one
feels the tranquility of the place, where

centuries-old tree’s and enjoy moments of utter
