The doctor (Dr. Weiss) is in the house! 🩺

Fun fact: Villa San Michele was built by another remarkable doctor, Dr. Axel Munthe.

Doctors don’t just heal - sometimes they leave a bit of history behind too!

Did you know? Dr. Axel Munthe (1857–1949) was a Swedish physician and writer best known for his bestselling memoir The Story of San Michele. Trained in Paris under Charcot, he became a sought-after doctor in both Paris and Rome, known for treating the poor for free and aiding during epidemics. He built Villa San Michele on the island of Capri, where he combined his medical work with a passion for nature and the arts, creating a sanctuary that reflected his love for animals, beauty, and healing.

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away” 🍎✨

You’ll see that we’ve also got it in German - this is from a recent trip one of our staff members took to Austria! An apple a day (as apple strudel?!) for the win! 🏆

(Did you know that the phrase “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” is a proverb that dates back to 19th-century Wales,?
“Eat an apple on going to bed, and you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread.”
This version was first recorded in 1866 in the Welsh periodical Notes and Queries. Over time, it evolved into the more familiar, snappier modern version, which appeared in print by the early 20th century.)
