The Augustus villa (summer home) is not located on the Amalfi Coast but on the slopes of Vesuvius volcano.
The location is Somma Vesuviana and here's a link with info and a few pics.

I couldn't find anything else on Internet.

Martox is right about the Villa Augustus.
On Capri, you'll find Tiberius' estate, the Villa Jovis, which is in a stunning setting on a cliff overlooking the mainland and the rest of the island.
By the way, Augustus was the first Roman Emperor; he was succeeded upon his death by Tiberius.

i believe augustus did have a summer home on the island of capri -- he had a lot of homes, but now it's just a steep climb up to the ruin. you can probably find a pic on a capri website...
