Capoliveri is a picturesque village sitting on a hilltop 165m above the sea-level. It originates from an Etruscan stronghold. In the past, people lived from the exploitation of the near iron-mines “Calamita”. Nowadays Capoliveri has become one of the most attractive tourist-centres of Elba.
The very characteristic “piazza” is the animated centre of this little, particular village. From the “Piazza” starts “Via Roma”, the main road of Capoliveri, only open to pedestrians. Many characteristic little lanes branch out in the midst of the old Village Centre. This part of Capoliveri is the so-called “Centro storico”.

The island of Elba and Capoliveri are specially beautiful in the lower season like April, May, June and also September and October.
