Villa d'Elboeuf, Baroque villa in Naples, Italy.

Villa d'Elboeuf features a main facade overlooking the sea with two portals accessed by a double elliptical staircase with marble and piperno balustrades.

Emmanuel Maurice, Duke of Elbeuf, commissioned the construction of this villa in 1711 while serving under Holy Roman Emperor Joseph I during the Spanish Succession Wars.

The villa marks the beginning of an architectural movement that led to the construction of 122 residences along the Vesuvian coast during the 18th century.

The villa contains three floors and multiple terraces offering views toward both Torre del Greco and Naples, with direct access to former maritime landing areas.

King Charles III first encountered this location during a storm in 1738, which influenced his decision to establish the Royal Palace of Portici next door.
