About Capalbio
Capalbio is a small walled village on a scrub-covered hill near the Lazio border, about 45 km south-east of Grosseto and a few kilometres from the Tyrrhenian Sea. You can walk the full circuit of its walls, enter through the Porta Senese with its 15th-century wooden doors, and find the Rocca Aldobrandesca beside the church of San Nicola. It goes by the nickname Little Athens. The homes are outside the village, and most have a private pool. Nearby beaches include Chiarone, Macchiatonda and La Torba, and the Lake Burano reserve protects dunes and a salt lake.
