Capalbio is the little jewel of the Maremma, and a wonderful base to visit the region. It’s just 140km north of Rome, 5km inland from the the beautiful beaches that line the coast, 20 minutes from Orbetello and the Argentario, and gateway to the hills and forests and fields and nature reserves of the inland.

Capalbio has a number of excellent bars and restaurants, a modest range of fashion shops, boutiques, galleries, and fine artisan shops, two small general stores that sell everything you might need for the fridge and kitchen, delicatessens, a fresh bakery and cake shop, a butcher, and a few newsagents.

Our two beautiful apartments, Casa Terra and Casa Blu, are adjacent in the same building, are quiet and sunlit and private, just below the medieval walls and overlooking the nature reserve and down to the sea. They are available year round, have private parking and free wifi, are modestly priced, sleep 5, and come with all the cooking utensils and bedding you will need for your stay.
