Capalbio

Capalbio

The enchanting medieval hilltop town of Capalbio, with its crenulated walls, leafy gardens and Renaissance frescoes, is worth visiting all year round. However, it is in Summer that Capalbio comes into its own.

Located about 45 kilometres southeast of Grosseto, Capalbio is the most southern town of Tuscany and borders with Lazio region. In the past, Capalbio was artistically important and called “Little Athens”. The town is perfectly preserved and enclosed by walls that you can climb for spectacular views.

Things to do: We highly recommend visiting the wonderful nearby sculpture garden, Giardino dei Tarocchi. Gateway to the nearby Argentario peninsula is Orbetello, a small walled town built into the lagoons between the mainland and promontory. The pedestrian town is charming and has some of the best sunset views.

Capalbio offers pastoral calm and understated sophistication; a visit to Monte Argentario introduces a more dramatic coastal counterpoint. Rising from the Tyrrhenian Sea in a sweep of wooded hills and sculpted cliffs, Argentario feels wilder and more maritime, yet retains the same air of discretion that defines southern Tuscany.

Capalbio is defined by discretion, natural beauty and a certain cultivated simplicity. An afternoon at Ultima Spiaggia complements this atmosphere perfectly, offering a refined yet relaxed encounter with the Tuscan coast. Long regarded as one of the most elegant beach clubs in southern Tuscany, it provides a setting in which comfort and understatement prevail over ostentation.

Staying in Capalbio offers privacy, refinement and proximity to one of Tuscany’s most unspoilt landscapes. A visit to Parco della Maremma provides a natural counterpoint to the elegance of your villa — an immersion into a wilder, more elemental Tuscany that remains largely untouched by mass tourism.

A visit to Cosa offers an encounter with Tuscany at its most elemental and contemplative. Perched above the sea on the promontory of Ansedonia, the remains of this ancient Roman colony overlook the Tyrrhenian coastline with quiet authority.

Located in the Tuscan Maremma, about 40 minutes south of Grosseto, Capalbio is immersed in one of the most beautiful coastal areas of the region. Long and deserted beaches, crystal-clear sea, and lush flora are just some of the wonders that characterise this area.

Spend the day under the sun at Rosso e Vino alla Dogana. Take the afternoon to visit il Giardino dei Tarocchi just ten minutes away and enjoy an early evening aperitif at il Frantoio in the village of Capalbio. For dinner, head to Fontanile dei Capri for fantastic meat dishes or La Selva for the freshest of fish.

Argentario: A short drive from Capalbio is the peninsula of Monte Argentario. Here, visitors can hike through nature, take boat trips to the Tuscan archipelago and meander the beautiful port towns of Porto Ercole and Porto Santo Stefano. Of course, when in Monte Argentario, you must try and have lunch or dinner the iconic Hotel Il Pellicano.
