Villa Livorno | 4-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Capoliveri

Capoliveri’s southern hillside overlooks some of Tuscany’s most sought-after coastline, and Villa Livorno sits at the heart of this quiet, walkable neighbourhood. Nine guests, four bedrooms, one bathroom, and an annexe that transforms how groups travel together—this is the kind of villa that arrives in your memory long after you’ve left the island.

Inside Villa Livorno

Villa Livorno sleeps 9 guests across 4 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms, spread between the main residence and a separate annexe building. The architecture reflects contemporary Mediterranean design: clean lines, abundant natural light, and materials that age beautifully.

The main villa houses three of the bedrooms. The first is a double room with en-suite shower, serving as a natural guest bedroom away from family spaces. The second bedroom combines a double bed with a single bunk arrangement—clever for families with older children or mixed-age groups—and includes its own shower room. A third double bedroom completes the main building, also with private en-suite facilities. Central to the villa is an open-plan living area where high ceilings and glazed doors create that rare sense of both privacy and connection to the outdoors. Two sofas frame an original fireplace; the TV sits within arm’s reach. Adjacent to this is a dining space with seating for eight, flowing seamlessly into a fitted kitchen equipped with breakfast bar, separate hob and oven, dishwasher, fridge freezer, and both kettle and traditional Moka pot for coffee rituals.

The annexed building, positioned on a lower garden terrace, provides flexibility and semi-autonomy. Here you’ll find a double bed and a single bed in the same room—perfect for a caregiver, adult child, or quiet refuge—alongside its own shower room. Throughout both structures, practical touches reveal thoughtful ownership: mosquito nets on windows, hairdryers in each bathroom, a washing machine for longer stays, bookshelves stacked with novels, and Wi-Fi that actually reaches the garden hammocks.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The garden unfolds across 1,500 square metres of terraced Mediterranean landscape. This isn’t a manicured resort setting; native planting—lavender, rosemary, stone pine—creates that authentic Tuscan palette while drawing in local birds and the occasional lizard. The sea view anchors everything, visible from almost every corner of the grounds.

At the uppermost level sits a dining terrace, sheltered by a covered veranda and furnished with multiple tables. This is where sunset aperitivos happen, where children colour while adults unwind, where the real life of the villa unfolds. Below, a fully-equipped summer kitchen—complete with griddle and prep surfaces—means ambitious cooks can orchestrate dinner entirely outdoors while guests filter in with glasses of Prosecco.

The swimming pool measures 11 metres by 6 metres, deepening from 1.2 to 1.7 metres—substantial enough for laps, safe enough for younger swimmers with supervision. The pool opens from early May through to September, warmed by the southern sun and the Mediterranean climate. A dedicated tennis court adjoins the pool area; table tennis equipment sits nearby for after-dinner matches. Multiple sun loungers face south, while hammocks and benches nestle into shaded corners. Parking is provided at the property entrance.

Location: Capoliveri and the Surrounding Area

Capoliveri itself sits 3 kilometres away—a genuine hillside village, not a manufactured tourist enclave. Narrow cobbled streets twist between pastel buildings; locals actually live here. The piazza hosts a supermarket, small shops selling produce and everyday goods, and trattorias where the menu changes with the catch. You can walk to restaurants like Ristorante da Gino or grab takeaway pizza from neighbourhood bakeries. The town has absorbed centuries of island history without performing its history; it simply exists, lived-in and authentic.

Spiaggia di Straccoligno, a crescent of soft sand backed by tamarisk trees, lies just 1 kilometre south. The beach club here serves seafood pasta and cold wines; swimmers arrive early to claim parasol spots. Moving further afield, Spiaggia Norsi (4km) offers a rockier, more dramatic approach to the water, while Spiaggia Calamosca (6km) curves into a sheltered bay beloved by families. Each has its own character: some are busy with beach clubs and lounger rentals, others remain quiet and minimally developed.

Portoferraio, the island’s main town, sits 18 kilometres north. The harbour here pulses with activity: ferries arrive from Piombino on the mainland, restaurants line the waterfront, and the fortresses Forte Stella and Forte Falcone loom above the rooftops—built centuries ago and still commanding views across the archipelago. A leisurely morning drive gets you there by late morning; you can browse markets, explore the Napoleonic museum, eat seafood caught that morning, and return before dinner. The ferry terminal is your connection point if arriving by car and boat; regular crossings from Piombino take about 1 hour.

The wider island reveals itself to those who drive. Village names like Rio Marina (northeast, 15km) tell their own stories—this was a mining region, and the beaches here have an industrial poignancy now being reclaimed by tourism. Marciana (northwest, 20km) clings to the island’s highest peak; hikers ascend through chestnut forests. Tiny coves and unmarked beaches reward exploration. Boat hire from Capoliveri or Portoferraio lets you reach otherwise inaccessible bays.

The best months are April-May (spring light, manageable crowds, sea warming) and September-October (summer heat fading, September still swimmable, local festivals beginning). August brings holiday crowds; February-March can see rain and cooler temperatures, though the landscape greens spectacularly.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Multi-generational families find Villa Livorno especially functional. Grandparents can claim the annexe’s quieter setting; parents occupy one bedroom; children share the bunk arrangement. The pool keeps everyone occupied on hot afternoons; the tennis court diverts competitive energy; Wi-Fi allows work to happen without feeling like you’re sacrificing the holiday.

Groups of four to six adults—friends reuniting, extended family gatherings—fit naturally. The bedrooms provide privacy; the outdoor spaces encourage congregation without forced proximity. The summer kitchen means different people can cook different meals; the dining terrace accommodates everyone together.

Couples seeking space and privacy will find the main villa luxurious and uncluttered. The master bedroom feels like a retreat; the living areas invite relaxation without crowds.

Families with babies and toddlers appreciate the cots and high chairs available, the fenced grounds providing secure outdoor play, and proximity to quiet family beaches like Straccoligno. The pool depth and layout suit children learning to swim.
