Cafe at Villa San Michele Review - Anacapri - Capri - The Infatuation

"Over 100 years ago, a Swedish doctor named Axel Munthe visited Capri and loved it so much that he built a home on the ruins of an ancient chapel. Today, Villa San Michele includes a small museum filled with Roman, Etruscan, and Egyptian artifacts, a garden with sweeping views of the Sorrentine Peninsula and Vesuvius, and the 1,000-year-old Barbarossa Castle that’s perched on the mountainside.  After exploring the grounds, climb the steps to Café Casa Oliv for a glass of prosecco and a slice of a chocolate torte. In the summer, the cafe hosts evening drinks after 7pm—they call it  , a tribute to Munthe’s pet monkey who was known for stealing sips of whiskey." - Gillian McGuire
