We are definitely seeing the effect of what’s called the “shoulder season,” where the changing climate has meant that summers are longer and hotter so travellers are either going north rather than south, or booking earlier or later holidays, to avoid the heat. Casa Blu is available from 22 September onwards, so book your shoulder season holiday now!

September is our favorite time of the year in Capalbio; the peak season crowds are gone, the weather is lovely, the water is warm, and the evenings are mild and fresh. Casa Blu sleep five in two bedrooms with two bathrooms and baths, a wide shaded bamboo covered patio, a private garden and parking, free internet, heating if you need it, and all the bedding and utensils you’ll need for your stay.
