CAPRAIA
Between Corsica and Tuscany lies a fascinating and still little-known island ready to be discovered: Capraia.
Capraia is an Island among Islands. The most exclusive and remote of the islands in the Tuscan Archipelago, it is only 36 miles from the coast, but about three hours by ferry from Livorno. From the moment you board at Porto Mediceo, as you sail away from the mainland and approach the island, your mind is clear and enters a new dimension.
Time begins to flow differently and you find time to read, listen and immerse yourself in nature. On Capraia, the rhythm of the days flows at its own pace, set by the sea and the sun. You are also forced to look for a new way of getting around, either by walking or by using the environmentally friendly and silent electric shuttle bus, because you are only allowed to drive on the island when the ferry arrives.
Capraia is an exclusive island with a limited number of accommodations. You can fall in love with it all over again for different reasons in every season.

In summer, the island is full of life, in the bars in the harbor, on the sailboats in the roadstead and on the yachts at the quay, but also during the many cultural and musical events that take place on Capraia in summer.
The real star is the sea, which offers unique experiences.
The rocky seabed blends with the clear waters, rich in marine life, creating a fascinating setting for snorkelers and divers.
The changing colors of the reef, evidence of the ancient volcano, are reflected in the waters, creating a breathtaking natural spectacle. Days are paced by the typical rhythms of life by the sea. You can explore the coast by boat, discover secluded coves, snorkel or simply enjoy the sun and sea on the rocks.

In autumn, winter and spring, however, the Island is even more exclusive.
There are few visitors, and only the inhabitants remain on the Island, living in harmony with its sea, nature and rocks. These are the ideal seasons to experience the Island in silence, marveling at the power of the wind, sea and sun, which shape Nature. Capraia, with more than 50 km of trails, becomes a paradise for hikers and birdwatchers. Located halfway between the mainland and Corsica: the Island is a stopover site during migration for numerous species of birds and is a strategic location for bird censuses and bird ringing.
The tranquility and authenticity of Capraia offer a unique vacation in every season, away from the crowds and immersed in a breathtaking natural environment. If you are looking for a destination that is still little known, where you can have an authentic and intimate experience, Capraia is the perfect place for such a vacation, featuring the sea, nature and the beauty of a unique island.
