Villa d'Elboeuf, Baroque villa in Naples, Italy.
Description
Villa d'Elboeuf is a baroque residence in Naples with a main facade facing the sea and two entrances connected by a double elliptical staircase made of marble and piperno stone. The building spans three floors with several terraces overlooking Torre del Greco and Naples, plus former maritime landing areas below.
History
The Duke of Elbeuf commissioned construction in 1711 while serving Holy Roman Emperor Joseph I during the Spanish Succession Wars. The building then became the model for many other noble residences built along the Vesuvian coast in the following decades.
Culture
This residence served as a model for wealthy families building along the Vesuvian coast and influenced how the area developed. Its design showed that grand homes could be built to face the sea while remaining functional.
Practical
The property is accessible via stairs and terraces with good views from each level you reach. Wear sturdy shoes as there are several elevation changes and steps between the different floors.

King Charles III was caught in a storm here in 1738 and was so impressed that he decided to build the Royal Palace of Portici right next door. This chance encounter transformed the future of the entire coast, as the royal residence brought development to the area.
