This family driven resort has it all. A cozy, small-scale atmosphere, perfectly maintained facilities such as a swimming pool, beach volleyball court, pétanque field, barbecues, and a beautiful garden with old trees. Francesco and his family are true professionals who create the ultimate holiday vibe. And on top of that, they make perfect Gin & Tonics 😉 We also enjoyed the Jacuzzi next to our appartement – it was cleaned every morning by the team. It’s perfect located between Capoliveri, Porto Azzurro and Portoferraio Don’t hesitate – just book it!

Probably the best 3-Stars hotel we’ve ever been. Nice and clean rooms. A lot of service facilities. Super friendly stuff. Great breakfast! I prefer rich and various breakfast in the morning. I’ve got it 😬 very good coffee and cocktails at the bar. Nice lunch opportunities ( really delicious). Good restaurants around. Hotel has enough parking places. Extra compliments to Stefano and his high professionalism. Thanks to the hotel stuff, we had perfect stay in Elba.

The Hotel is located just right on the beach, it’ll be 3 minutes between your apartment and the sea :) The apartments are clean and comfortable with a huge balcony that means it is a very good value for money. The big plus is that you can come with a dog without any additional fees! If you have a car the location is also a good starting point. I highly recommend it for everyone.

Hotel staff were wonderful it's a Family run hotel and little touches like coming out to help bring the suitcases in and the same when we left were very appreciated.The Spa was one oc the nicest I've been to and when you book it you have private access lots of candles had been lit for us and lots if attention to detail.So relaxing. The breakfast was wonderful with a lovely waitress and the choice of indoor or outdoor tables.Parking in a private car park is available and was free. The whole hotel is set on the side of the mountain so has multiple levels and steps. If you have difficult with stairs be sure to book a ground floor apartment. We really enjoyed our stay the walk to the beach is about 10 mins down a path and some steps not too steep and very straightforward.We also appreciated the discounted ferry codes and restaurant and beach access associated with the hotel Available on request.The hotel is 3 star but the service and decor was 5 star. The beach itself is white sand and shallow clear water you have to go out a bit to swim. The whole atmosphere on the beach was very chilled and peaceful and facilities were eccellent there are 2 Private beach access and 2 free beaches. The restaurant on the beach was amazing a huge choice of food from salads to sandwiches to pasta and fritto misto of fish.Also very good prices and well organised there is also a bar for fresh gelato and coffee and cocktails and a edicola and gift shop with the building.This was a big plus as we could walk down from the hotel and relax on the beach all day and everything we needed was there.Would definitely go back and would recommend this hotel and the Fetovaia beach and bar.

FAQs about hotels on Elba

Fit for an Emperor

With its lush, undulating landscape and secluded coves and beaches, Elba Island is a paradise waiting to be discovered. Ancient tribes named it Ilva, and its minerals have been prized since Greek times and used for Etruscan art. Romans enlarged their empire conquering the island, and a Grand Duke, some princes, Spain and France all claimed this piece of land.

Elba is most famous for having served as a forced exile site to Napoleon in 1814, and you can now visit his historic residence at Palazzina dei Mulini. The Castello del Volterraio, the Torre del Martello fortress and the Archaeological Museum are also places full of history that are worth a visit.

The island is well known for its beautiful beaches and crystalline waters. As well as summer villas and marinas, it is common to find luxury hotels on Elba Island that season after season are filled by Italians and foreign visitors wanting a more off-the-beaten-track summer destination.

Renowned since Romans times, the therapeutic muds at the thermal spa of San Giovanni are the perfect complement to the already wide variety offered by this oasis.

From urban B&Bs to luxurious beach resorts on Elba Island, Booking.com offers variety for every taste. Come and discover it!

Everything! Rafaela, Riccardo, Carlo and all the employees of the resort, including the reception and the restaurant make you feel home. The grounds of the hotel are clear, isolated, located in such a green-lush setting that you never want to leave. The sea is just by your step, and whenever you want to enjoy the sunset or walk by the beautiful Biadola, it’s there. It’s a perfect place for bohemian, easy going and quiet luxuries sense of treating yourself.

We enjoyed our stay at Le Acacie, overall it met our expectations. we were in the residence rather than the hotel so we did not have any meals there.. We self catered for breakfast and went out for dinner, note you need a car of course, there are no restaurants in walking distance other than the hotel itself. Its right on a nice beach, which has a free beach area as well as hotel sunbeds etc available to hire. Nice pool area also.

Everything in the facility was wonderful.

Everything in the facility was wonderful. The host however, speaks no English, so be prepared with your translator. She will text with you in English as she uses a translator. For those of faint heart, beware that Scalinata means staircase and the street is in fact a staircase. If your gps tells you, you have arrived, take the stairs, it isn't kidding. Anyone that stairs are difficult for, I would book elsewhere. There is designated parking at the top of the stairs, once you have arrived and spoken with the hostess. But you will have to haul your luggage up and down. We are both 70, and even though we managed, it was a bit taxing. Worth is for the accommodation in the end. But be forewarned. It is a great locations as the town is only a long staircase away and all the wee restaurants are within walking distance. It was an enchanting stay,

The village is pleasant, sports some nice boutiques, bars and restaurants (including a veggie one to my intense delight) and brimming with events in the summer evenings, although not all of them were to my liking. The sea promenade is very nice, the village center is nice but can be crowded at least in August. The surroundings offer not just some beautiful beaches that can be easily reached by car or, if you like a short hike, on foot, but also a lot of opportunities for hiking in the nature. In the harbour you can rent a boat or find day trips to Pianosa or to other locations around the island. If you're into nature, in the village you can find a whale watching association offering day trips for dolphin spotting, and another offering diving/snorkeling trips and kids laboratories on marine biology. The main cons of the location is that the main access road to the village is pretty busy at certain times (in particular around dinner time), at least in high season, this can be sometimes a real nuisance and in any case you want to take it into account if you have made plans for the evening.

We came here two years ago and spent 4 days after travelling for over 12 days through France and Italy by car from.the UK. Both times at the end of Season end of Sept early October. Not too hot but like a sensible English summertime. This time we were here a little longer, we flew into Florence and after a few days there hired a car and switched to "avoid motorways" on our sat nav, this took us to Siena through the Tuscany vineyards and stopping at the beautiful village of Castilla di Chianti we ventured on to and stopped in Siena, then onto Piombino port to get the 1 hour ferry to Elba Island. You can fly into Pisa and train to Piombino port in about 90 minutes. But driving through Tuscany was fantastic. This time on Elba we took our time, explored a little with the car, Marciana Marina 22 minutes north of Marina di Campo is a beautiful harbour town, my wife wanted to visit it a second time before we left the island. The coastal road has many villages and towns, but Marina di Campo has the best 1.8km beach. Poggio on top of the hill has a nice view out to sea as somewhere to stop for lunch. There is a warm welcome everywhere on this Island. We went on a 6hr fishing trip from Marina di Campo, which included, reeling in fish, a very lovely lunch with the other travellers and the crew, a swim off the boat in a secluded cove and some very lovely company. Basic, but worth every minute, we will both do this again for sure and we are not really into fishing. Car, scooters and cycle hire is available on the Island.

Apartamento Teresina was delightful and perfect for a couple with children. There is one master bedroom with a good-sized closet and a second room with 2 small single beds (unfortunately they were a bit short for me - we were 2 women, not a couple, so we needed both bedrooms.). The apartment was extremely well equipped and we met both our charming host and her equally charming daughter, who conveniently lives next door. Other than the 2 bedrooms, there's a dining table in the kitchen and an attached living room, so for a small apartment, it felt very comfortable. The apartment is a 1/2 block from the sea and walking distance to everything in Marciana Marina. I hope to stay here again when I return!

Marciana is a small, fine town with an old, well-preserved building structure that lives from tourism but is careful not to overcrowd the town with tourists. This way it remains authentic. The people there are usually helpful and friendly. However, very few of them can speak English.

The check-in & check-out times make no sense at all. The check-in is only at 16:00 and check out at 10:00am. I have never seen something like this before and found unbelievable. In the end they take 25% of a full day payment with this schedule. I have requested late checkout and thankfully they were able to accept. otherwise it would have been a huge inconvenient to fit within their non-sense timings.

A very pretty island but if you travel on the ferry for a day trip make sure you check the weather report because we got stuck there overnight which was stressful. The Ferry company had no website and the phone number was engaged all of the time. The information was non-existent and staff were at times rude and not helpful. Were given false information and told the next ferry was at 3pm. We had to cancel the accommodation we had paid for and book another night in Piombino. We were having lunch and saw the ship's funnel emitting smoke. We had to run for 1 km to get on the ferry with no warning.

Great Italian town with lots of restaurants and cute shops. At night the city comes (even more) to life and the city center is filled with people. The little harbor is fun to walk through and if you walk a little further you can hike along the walls of a fortress (now a prison) and end up at a very nice pebble beach.

Small town, without many shops, after lunch you can only eat on the beach, the rest of the restaurants are closed until 18.00. Few shops. There is an excellent pottery shop. Good beach, excellent sea, no waves, a beautiful bay, but there are no facilities on the beach - toilets, showers, access pontoons to the beach, changing cabins. But that's how it is in all of Italy.

We are great fans of the Old Port in Portoferraio and have stayed there three times now. We like the people, and have gotten to know several. WE like the food. We like the variety in restaurants. We like the ease of public transportation. We will return again.
