"Via Palazzo a Mare" was the area where The Emperor August lived. Today of the ancient time are visible only few remains on the coast, in the area named "Bagni di Tiberio, with a big exedra and the tubs for the fishes, probably built or extended by Tiberio. Maybe Alexandre Dumas thought there when He wrote:" In these villas... All adorned with columns of marble surmounted by golden capital and closed by friezes of agate, there was tanks of porphyry where silver fish of the Ganges darted, and on the floor emeralds and rubies set in mosaic...".

The heart of the August Villa was in the area where is today the wonderful Villa Williams Bismark. The building is also known as the "Fortino" (blockhouse), as it incorporated the fort of the French soldiers at the beginning opf the 800', to protect the ancient remains rescued from the Bourbons archaeologist . Today the outdoors of Villa Bismark remember the ancient time for the columns and the marbles.

Casa Bismark don't disappoint who knows the history of the villa and the neighbourhood, a residence by elegant furniture, but never excessive. From the entrance you enter in a large and light living room, that is the cross for all the rooms. Very charming is the design of the room, from there: a panoramic terrace and a wide and scented garden divided on two level. Immediately your attention will be for a wonderful magnolia and an amazing view on Marina Grande. 3 bedrooms , 2 baths and a little, but well equipped, kitchen make complete an house, that nothing envy to the big villas.
