Villa Lysis, Art Nouveau villa on Monte Tiberio, Capri, Italy.

The three-story residence features a grand staircase leading to a peristyle lined with Ionic columns overlooking the Bay of Marina Grande.

French industrialist Jacques d'Adelswärd-Fersen constructed the villa in 1905 as his retreat after leaving France due to social controversies.

The villa became a center for artists and writers in the early 1900s, with its rooms decorated in Louis XVI, Neoclassical, and Viennese styles.

Visitors can reach the villa by taking a 45-minute uphill walk from Capri's Piazzetta through Via Tiberio to Via Lo Capo.

The Latin inscription 'Amori et Dolori Sacrum' above the entrance reflects the owner's life between love and pain.
