Capri's world-wide renown is largely due to the success of Munthe's History of San Michele, which has been translated into over 40 languages. Our second walk will take us up to beautiful Anacapri to the Villa San Michele.

Built by the Swedish physician Axel Munthe in 1880, Villa San Michele is now a museum which incorporates archaeological findings and Roman artifacts excavated from the island with the ruins of a small chapel dedicated to San Michele Arcangelo. The villa is surrounded by spectacular gardens and offers incredible views of the peninsula and sea.

After lunch in Anacapri, we take you on a tiny path immersed in vegetation looking out to the sea at every turn. At the end of the path, we find the Chapel of Cetrella, a 14th century late Gothic-style convent. It is only open due to worshippers' volunteer work.
