Sea views are on offer at this Capri villa by architect Francesco Della Femina, which sits on the slopes of Mount Solaro looking out towards Vesuvius.
Villa Trasillo is situated in the town of Anacapri and follows the architectural vernacular of Capri’s whitewashed homes. Boxy volumes have been configured so they frame sea vistas across the Italian property.
