The jagged silhouette of Isola di Capraia rises dramatically from the Tyrrhenian Sea, a volcanic sentinel standing guard between Italy and Corsica. This rugged gem in the Tuscan Archipelago remains one of Italy’s best-kept secrets – a place where dramatic cliffs plunge into sapphire waters and time seems to slow to the rhythm of lapping waves.

An island born of fire
Formed by volcanic eruptions nearly 9 million years ago, Capraia’s dramatic landscape bears testimony to its fiery birth. The island’s western coastline features the striking Cala Rossa (Red Cove), where rust-colored volcanic rock creates a stunning contrast against the turquoise sea.
