Capriccioli

Capriccioli

Along the coastline of the Costa Smeralda, small coves appear unexpectedly between granite formations and Mediterranean vegetation. One of the most characteristic of these places is Capriccioli, located on the Romazzino peninsula in the heart of the region.

Here the coastline separates into a series of small beaches, each naturally protected by smooth granite rocks shaped over centuries by wind and sea. Pale sand meets exceptionally clear water that shifts between soft turquoise and deeper shades of blue.

Capriccioli is not defined by one single beach, but by several quiet bays connected through rock, water and vegetation.

Three of these coves lie close together along the peninsula. Each feels slightly different. Some open widely towards the horizon, while others remain more sheltered and almost hidden between granite formations and low pine trees.

The water remains remarkably calm and shallow near the shore, creating the distinctive colours that have become synonymous with the Costa Smeralda.

Despite being located within one of the most renowned coastal regions of the Mediterranean, Capriccioli retains a quiet and natural atmosphere. The beaches remain small in scale, while the surrounding landscape of granite, juniper and Mediterranean vegetation continues to define the character of the coastline.

Early in the morning, the coves are almost silent.

Light spreads slowly across the water, while the granite reflects warmer tones as the sun rises above the sea. Throughout the day, the colours continue to shift between pale sand, transparent turquoise and deeper blue further from the shore.

Places like Capriccioli reveal a quieter side of the Costa Smeralda.

Not only harbours and coastal roads, but small natural bays where the Mediterranean landscape appears at its most simple, calm and timeless.
