Ideal house for a summer holiday in Capri on the cliffs of the island in the Gulf of Naples

A family from Melbourne have found their dream home for a summer holiday on an island in the Bay of Naples - with brilliant views of the Mediterranean Sea.

Facing south, the water-side home overlooks the famous Faraglioni islands and has private access to the sea, the pine forest and limestone cliffs.

The Capri summer home had been formerly part of an Italian politician who subdivided his Palazzo and sold off subsections.

Home Renewal Efforts were to open the living space to reflect their breezy informal Australian lifestyle while honouring the Mediterranean environment and surrounding forest. 

The family spends most of their time in the Italian villa by the salt water pool or on one of the many terraces with beautiful panoramas.
