Tenuta Saracena, a newly redesigned private villa estate overlooking the Faraglioni.

As one of the island’s most beloved beach clubs – opened in 1906 and celebrating its 120th anniversary this year – Torre Saracena embraces an understated philosophy based on old world charm and classic Caprese style. With direct views of the Faraglioni and the 16th century watchtower built to keep Saracen and Ottoman invaders at bay, and which gave the club its name, Torre Saracena offers an unparalleled blend of natural beauty, tranquillity, and authentic Caprese hospitality. The beach club sits well beyond the reach of the crowds of day tourists – and there are no public beaches, no busy ports. Guests arrive by the club’s private tender across the water, or by Torre Saracena’s own car service, chauffeured directly from the Capri Piazzetta along cliffside roads with sweeping views of the Mediterranean.

Villa Tenuta Saracena is part of The Faraglioni Collection – a curated privately-owned luxury hospitality platform that brings together distinctive lifestyle and hospitality experiences across some of the world’s most beautiful destinations, including Capri, St. Barths and London. Perched just above the beach club, this newly designed private villa estate embodies the same philosophy of understated elegance, authentic Caprese living, and effortless personalised hospitality that defines The Faraglioni Collection. The only private villa in Capri with direct access to the beach, Tenuta Saracena sits but a few steps from the water – close enough to hear the waves at night. Set within the largest private estate in Marina Piccola, the villa offers a rare sense of seclusion while providing an idyllic setting for weddings, celebrations and intimate gatherings.

Gabriele Cerrone shared: “Villa Tenuta Saracena is the newest addition to the Faraglioni Collection. With its direct access to the beach and close proximity to Torre Saracena Beach Club, the villa offers guests an exceptional way to experience Capri.”
