The building was built in the XVII century and was home to nobility. It dominated the landscape above the bay and the village with stunning 180° uninterrupted views over Capri, the Island of Li Galli and Positano.

The entrance of Casa Isa is an impressive stone archway over two metres high with double wooden doors and above the archway you will see the date 1769 the year that this part of the building was built. You enter directly into an open plan design which consists of the living room, kitchen a...nd dining area. The living room has a sofa and armchair, antique coffee table, TV cabinet and rustic chest. This room also has a wood fire stove, which is a very effective and only heat source in winter. There is a large kitchen and dining area with a wooden dining table and 6 chairs. The kitchen is fully equipped with crockery and cutlery for six guests, there is a large gas oven with 5 gas top burners, fridge-freezer, integrated dishwasher, microwave oven, toaster and electric kettle.
