The village of Capoliveri

Just 3 kilometers from Villa Marinella you can reach the village of Capoliveri, the jewel of the island of Elba, originally an ancient mining village that today presents itself as an enchanting blend of tradition and modernity. At the center of this metamorphosis is Mount Calamita, one of the wildest and most forested areas with a maximum height of 400 meters that encompasses the area, offering more than 150 kilometers of trails perfect for mountain bikers.

The town is built around a picturesque square, the beating heart of Capoliveri. The square, surrounded by colorful buildings and cozy cafes, is the perfect place to soak up the local atmosphere and savor Elban life. The alleys, known as "chiassi," that unravel from the square are an atmospheric labyrinth, full of quaint stores and artisan workshops that express the authenticity of the place.

Capoliveri, with its past linked to mining activities, preserves traces of this history in its narrow streets, museums, and old open pit or underground mines that can be visited today. However, it is the new vocation related to mountain biking that has given a dynamic turn to this picturesque village. Outdoor enthusiasts will find paradise here, exploring the well-marked trails of Mount Calamita, surrounded by breathtaking views that embrace the surrounding crystal-clear sea.
