Capel Rosso Lighthouse

The Capel Rosso Lighthouse stands in an outpost of great beauty that we find at the extreme south of the Giglio island, in Punta Capel Rosso, a place of silence and ancient stories from which it takes its name. A paved path and steps carved into the rock lead to the lighthouse, the red colors of the building and the streaks of the rock, which in this evocative setting combine with the brilliant colors of the uncontaminated Mediterranean scrub. The structure, built in 1883 by the Navy (at the time called Regia Marina) for the illumination of the southern part of the island, today it is a one-story residence with 4 suites and a restaurant available to guests who come to stay there. A simple structure with the minimum necessary comforts, precisely to give guests the opportunity to concentrate on what surrounds them, ensuring that they can regain awareness of time. A time not made for chasing, but for rediscovering oneself, simplicity, contemplation of nature. Read a book, meditate, or paint, sitting on the lighthouse terrace or on a rock. At Capel Rosso nature is impressive. There are plants with a thousand properties, minerals, birds that have chosen this part of the island to feel protected and procreate, there is the passage of cetaceans.
