A Pink Cliffside Villa Overlooking the Port of Capri Is on the Market

Set into the cliffside above Capri’s port, this pink-hued private villa occupies a position that is both visually commanding and unusually close to the island’s center. It’s on the market with Italy Sotheby’s International Realty.

Reached via approximately one hundred steps from Capri town and the Piazzetta, the property balances immediate access with a degree of separation that has become increasingly rare on the island.

The villa comprises approximately 500 m² (≈ 5,382 ft²) of interior space and is articulated in a classical Caprese architectural language in a sequence of arches and columns defines the main reception level, framing views that extend across the port, continue toward Capri’s historic center, and reach as far as the Faraglioni—an view that captures the island’s geography in a single frame.

A landscaped garden and broader park wrap the residence, creating privacy despite the central location. A panoramic swimming pool is oriented toward the sea, while a separate guest dépendance, set within the greenery, allows for hosting without compromising the privacy of the main house. In total, the property includes six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, a scale that supports both private use and formal entertaining.

Capri sits just off the Sorrentine Peninsula in the Bay of Naples, long tied to the Amalfi Coast by sea routes and shared history. A compact limestone island defined by sheer cliffs, grottoes, and strikingly clear water, Capri has functioned as a place of escape since antiquity—most famously as the site of Emperor Tiberius’s Roman villas. In the 20th century, it became a reference point for international society, frequented by figures such as Jackie Kennedy and Aristotle Onassis, alongside artists, writers, and European industrial families. Today, Capri remains a destination for private villa ownership, yachting, and seasonal residence, shaped by tight planning controls, limited supply, and an enduring association with views, discretion, and legacy addresses.
