Capoliveri is a lovely ancient village 167 meters above the sea, at the beginning of the wonderful and wild peninsula of Monte Calamita. It was a miners' town, as the area is rich of minerals. It's the best conserved village of the island, with its characteristic coloured houses and narrows alleys. During the summer it's well animated, with a lot of cultural and folkloristic events. It offers everything for shopping and for enjoying your holiday. As it's on a hill, you can have a wonderful view of the gulfs and the islands around (Pianosa, Montecristo, Corsica). The sea is all around and you can easily reach it walking for 10 - 15 minutes or by car, bus, bike or scooter (there are rentals in the village). Elba Island has a lot of beaches, the water is really transparent and the nature of the country is lovely. It's good for swimming, trekking and biking, visiting historical and artistic sites and other islands.
