B&B Les Capitaineries welcomes you with the warmth of an intimate, recently renovated retreat, set in one of the most enchanting spots of the Mediterranean: Île de Cavallo. This tiny private island, nestled between Corsica and Sardinia, is an oasis of beauty where time seems to lengthen to the rhythm of waves caressing powder‑fine sandy beaches and cliffs cloaked in fragrant Mediterranean scrub. The air is redolent of rosemary and thyme, the sea shimmers in countless shades of turquoise and emerald, and an unmistakable sense of exclusivity greets you—yet without sacrificing the spontaneous charm of an authentic place. Within this unique setting, Les Capitaineries stands out for its harmony of simplicity and essential comfort. Every space has been fully refurbished in a bright, understated style: lime‑whitewashed walls, local stone floors and light wood accents combine to create a fresh, relaxing atmosphere—perfect for rejuvenation after a swim in secluded coves or a stroll along the coastal path. Each room, equipped with whisper‑quiet air conditioning and a private bathroom, also offers complimentary Wi‑Fi—a little luxury that lets you stay connected while enjoying the pleasures of an “off‑grid” holiday. A stay at Les Capitaineries is designed for those who wish to explore the island at their own pace, choosing accommodation that’s both affordable and full of charm. Choosing B&B Les Capitaineries means embracing an authentic Île de Cavallo experience, where elegance hides in simplicity and the beauty of nature provides the perfect backdrop for your stay. We look forward to offering you moments of serenity and discovery in this slice of paradise.

Île de Cavallo, located at the southern tip of the Lavezzi archipelago, is a small treasure chest of natural wonders surrounded by crystalline waters that shift from turquoise to sapphire. Its beaches—a succession of coves with powder‑fine sand and wind‑smoothed rocky shores—reveal scenes that can never be replicated: bays sheltered by pale dunes, inlets where pebbles glitter in the sun, and exposed rocks mirrored in the clear sea. Beneath the surface, meadows of Posidonia oceanica dot the seabed, providing refuge for octopuses, lobsters, and schools of colorful fish, while royal gulls and osprey soar above the cliffs, making the island a paradise for birdwatching enthusiasts. The island’s silhouette is framed by Mediterranean scrub: strawberry trees pushing through granite boulders, gnarled junipers, and blooming oleanders exuding the heady scents of myrtle and rosemary. A coastal path just over five kilometers long weaves through breathtaking panoramas, alternating between shaded stretches under Aleppo pines and natural terraces overlooking the sea, where the only sounds are the rustle of waves and the song of cicadas. Cavallo’s history is woven with noble owners and summer courts: as early as the nineteenth century, the island was a favored retreat of European aristocratic families drawn by its exclusive atmosphere and unspoiled beauty. Today, Cavallo remains a private island, accessible only to a limited number of visitors and carefully protected to preserve the balance between humanity and nature. Every landing at the Cheray quay feels like a privilege: once you step off the jetty, you enter a suspended world where daily concerns give way to the contemplation of timeless views and the discovery of a truly unique corner of the Mediterranean.
