The beach at Ultima Spiaggia at Chiarone, just 10 minutes down the highway from Capalbio. Ultima and La Dogana just next to it are two of our favorite beaches on the coast south of Ansedonia, both with great beach bars and restaurants, sunbed and umbrella hire, bathrooms, showers, friendly staff, easily accessible parking, and miles of free beach on either side. Pets are allowed, too!
Casa Capalbio is available year round, and September is one of the prettiest times to visit; the water is warm, a lot of the crowds have gone, prices are cheaper, evenings are fresh and pleasant, sunsets are golden, and the worst of the heat is over. It’s been a long hot summer, but our favorite time of the year is just starting!
