Capoliveri
This town was known in Roman times as Caput Liberum, Today Capoliveri is a quaint hilltop town with wonderful views. This commune stretches from Piana di Mola to the north and as far as Punta della Calamita to the south. To the west it stretches out to include the gulfs of Lacona and Stella. Originally constructed as an Etruscan hilltop fortress, possibly with even earlier origins since the Greeks and Phoenicians were frequent visitors to this island rich in iron and renowned for its copper. Built within old town walls, Capoliveri has a geometric form, typical of the Latin building tradition.
In the Medieval period, this fortified township was expanded around the main square and present-day ‘Via Roma’, which is the main street as well as being the highest, from which all the other back streets and squares branch off, with their characteristic arches steps and narrow alleyways, which buzz with life in the summer months.

Lacona
Also known as the Big Beach: originally a lake (hence the name) and more than a kilometre in length, it is second in size only to Marina di Campo beach. A sandy beach protected by a wide gulf (exposed only to warm southerly winds) with, in certain points, a backdrop of sand dunes belonging to the Tuscan Archipelago National Park. The beach has many points of access and offers every amenity for the sunbather and water sport lover alike. It is the ideal beach for families with its shallow waters and sandy seabed. The guests of the Hotel Capo di Stella will enjoy this beach just a short drive away from the hotel.
Margidore
This is a wide beach, a mixture of dark pebble and sand, overlooking Golfo Stella. Fairly sheltered and a well-equipped landing place for pleasure boats. Not very well sign-posted yet easily reached along a short slip road. The guests of the Hotel Capo di Stella can easily reach this beach along a short path (approx 350m) leading directly from the hotel car park to the beach.
Capo Stella
The long outcrop separating the gulfs of Stella and Lacona is mainly high and rocky.
However, the tiny streams that run across it towards the sea open up into enchanting coves.
Almost all are pebble and shingle and fairly exposed.
They are hidden between the surrounding outcrops and are therefore quiet and secluded.
Easily reached by boat, some also by footpath, usually private and not easily reached by foot: the roads on Capo Stella are not open to traffic.
