The adjacent beach is not swimmable, (but the hotel pools are great).

Very friendly, helpful staff. The Best Breakfast Buffet in the World!

The location wasn’t great. Probably ok if you have a car but we didn’t, so we felt a bit trapped.

The pool and the grounds were really nice.

Expensive hotel in high season (paid €400 per night for double room) Lots of dogs in the hotel

Great location, sufficient parking, great pool that is not crowded / enough sunbeds. Excellent breakfast, comfortable rooms (good shower, quiet airco)

Beach is not so nice - Thera are many many more with better on the island. But it’s free and you can use boat to go somewhere. Or paddle board.

Location for daily trips. Great dinners and awesome ❤️ dinners!!! Nice clean and always green garden.

We had the second to most expensive family room but it wasn't worth the price. Minibar is just a joke, equipment of the room is very basic, missing electric kettle, missing glasses, spoons, only one chair in the family room is also poor. The children room does not have anything than a bed (at least simple arm-chair or bench for luggage would make it more pleasant). The bathroom require rework or at least paint-job (unpleasant lights hot-fixes), toilet seat was yellowish (proper hand-work cleaning was needed), wall facing marble was falling apart. Only two sets of shampoo and shower gel tubes for family/day means you need to go shopping to have enough for all family members. Hotel is also very next to large lagoon with a lot of mosquitos so I wonder why hotel manager does not provide the electric repellents by default (you need to ask reception for that and then also for refills every now and then). Missing windows nets preventing mosquitos from entering the rooms is also stupid cost-saving or laziness in such area. The rooms are stained by bloody mosquitos after each stay and nobody paints that so you can see how many night battles for good sleep happened this season already. The beach at the hotel is just for the remote photos, the seabed is dirty and contains some rubbish from the near port, better use some flipflops when posing.

The restaurant services and staff were indeed outstanding and you don't need to go to the city for dinners, maestro Antonio, restaurant manager and his team uplifted the restaurant experience to another level. Hotel is at calm and safe place, well accessible by car, with good and safe parking. Hotel area with its lovely green garden where you can spend hours of watching the port traffic and reading the books peacefully, pool facilities and small beach seems to be restricted zone only for guests so you will always have your beach beds available. Scuba-diving club is available here as well. Hotel offers boat transport to other beach or rental of the small boats for own trips. Restaurant dinners surprise every day. Pool staff is also very friendly and always willing to help (kayak or paddleboards are available for short range trips). We had our own car but hotel also offer motorbike rentals. Location is good: five minutes driving to the Portoferraio city, 15 minutes driving over the hill to Biodola beach, 10 minutes to Paduella, 15 minutes to Volterraio fotress climb, 5 minutes to supermarket & pharmacy.

At first glance, the water of the sea beach opening onto the busy Portoferrario Bay, frequented by ferries, was not crystal clear. We still bathed in it in the evening, because the pools are closed after 7 o'clock. There was nothing wrong with our skin and the water was very pleasantly warm.

First of all, I would like to highlight the attitude of the hotel staff. Extraordinary! The detailed information and advices provided by the reception staff was exceptional. We were given a separate form and map with useful explanations to reach the recommended sandy beach. In the same way, I can only praise the kind and professional work of the waiters in the restaurant. The breakfast selection was adequate. The air conditioning in the room worked properly. The water in the pools was perfectly clean and the temperature was optimal. On Friday evening, the hotel organizes a garden party on the beach. A sumptuous culinary experience in beautiful surroundings. Afterwards, a high-quality dance evening with live music. Unforgettable experience! Don't miss it under any circumstances!

Beach not really swimmable.

We were visiting Italy, came up Elba. This hotel was nice, traditional Italian style, nothing big but friendly. Restaurant staff was amazing. I had my best chocolate croissant there! We had a great lunch poolside. Saltwater pool was very relaxing. The beach front is not great but nice if you just want to sit by the water. Staff and cleanliness was great.

The AC in our room was set to 25 degrees celcius when we first got there. It was a bit too hot for us in the night and it was not possible to change the temperature. They could not fix it and not give us another room with a better working AC so as a result we were always waking up at night because we felt uncomfortable in the heat. The service at dinner was confusing and a bit weird at times. The road close to the hotel is not good, it is not possible to get to and from the hotel without a vehicle and the public bus stops service at 20:00 in the evening. So it is impossible to walk to nearby restaurants from the hotel.

The outdoor area and was exceptional and very well kept. The room was clean and spacious. Service at the reception was great. They rented a moped for us and called a taxi for us when needed. The hotel also has a taxi boat to go to another beach nearby which was very nice (cost 10€ per person).

Rooms were dated. The jacuzzi had kids in it a lot. The beds were hard. Bit over priced.

The close location to the ferry. Great breakfast. Nice pool.

Nothing comes to mind

On site facilities were excellent. Breakfast buffet was excellent. Staff at reception were excellent and very helpful always. All food and drinks purchased on site were of a very high standard. Also enjoyed quality live entertainment on one evening of my stay. Cleaning staff were so unobtrusive and no noise

The town center of Portoferraio is not easily reachable on foot and there is not much to do at the hotel itself. Car or 20 euro taxi ride is a must.

Really nice property with lush gardens, pools, walking paths, sea and town view across the bay. Quite simply, yet nicely decorated room had front and rear exits. Breakfast was reasonably good and they offer also lunch and dinner in the same restaurant.

beach was not good, is for sure not their point of strength, this is due to the position of the hotel

it's a real resort! a lot of place to park, very good breakfast, very good swim pool for adults and children with animation. Also the restaurant could be a good choice

The breakfast closes early at 10:00 AM so you have to be quick to get there on time. We arrived 5 minutes before 10:00 and the staff started to remove all breakfast items while we were taking them. Very rude.

Good location near Portoferraio. NIce hotel with private beach. The Sea water is not good at the beach so you have to use the pool or find another location at Elba.

Built in the 80-ies the property is dated and could welcome a renovation to current standards for the money being charged. Breakfast choice is limited for a 4-star and the whole concept is not up to date
