This 33 room family run hotel is central in Marina di Campo, once you have parked in the Hotel free secure car park, you can walk to any Part of the town of Marina di Campo in around 10 minutes, most of which is pedestrianised and without steps or staircases. This hotel is a very very good bed and breakfast modern hotel with disabled access and a lift. It was a full board facility many years ago, it is surrounded by restaurants within a 2 to 10 minute walk depending on your preference. A fantastic Holiday location for young and old, next year we intend to return and invite our adult children and especially our grandchildren as we feel it it is such a great family environment in Marina di Campo. Young children gather and play in the well lit town Square in the evenings just 40 metres from front door of the hotel while parents sit chatting on the surrounding benches. In the daytime on the opposite side of the hotel a modern children's play park facilitates lots of children on swings, slides and a roundabout. This does not create any noise effecting the hotel environment. The beach is a three minute walk with hardly a step in sight suitable for all ages, with one very quiet road to cross to get onto the beach.

Guest review
We stayed at Ortano Mare Resort in Rio Marina on Elba Island from September 14 through September 16, departing on September 17, 2026. We took the Toremar ferry from Piombino, Italy, to Elba and returned the same way. Each ferry ride took about an hour, and the round-trip fare was €147.02, or approximately $215.61. Both crossings were uneventful, although the ferry was relatively full. After arriving in Rio Marina, we drove to Ortano Mare Resort. Elba Island is surprisingly undeveloped outside of its few towns, and the drive to the resort was somewhat challenging. The roads were narrow and winding, passing through quiet, desolate countryside before finally reaching the property. Once we arrived, however, it was clear that Ortano Mare is a true resort. The resort has a beautifully maintained private beach with towels, umbrellas and chairs, a children’s play area, and a beachside restaurant. Parking is free, and there was plenty of space available during our visit. Check-in was easy and efficient, with three employees working at the reception desk. One of the first things we noticed was the full-service restaurant, where guests were enjoying lunch while attentive servers took care of them. Our room was spacious and included a hot-water kettle for making instant coffee. Breakfast was included in our rate, and the buffet was quite good. The staff kept the serving bins well stocked, and the food was tasty and convenient. Overall, the resort offered a relaxing setting with the amenities we expected from a seaside vacation property. One of the highlights of our trip was visiting Monte Capanne.. The cableway is located at Via del Pozzatello, 1, 57030 Marciana LI, Italy, approximately 24 miles from Ortano Mare Resort. The drive took about an hour because Elba’s mountainous terrain makes for slow, winding roads. We traveled from the eastern side of the island to the west and then returned.

Pool and beach were very nice, just consider this is not a sand beach, location is perfect as not too far from the ferry but ideal to start all excursions of the island. Free parking, staff was super nice and welcoming. It was also very nice that they changed scenery for breakfast and dinner. We had the dinner only one night, and it was also very good. Dogs were allowed and it felt all visitors enjoyed, families, couples, dog owners. What we specially liked was the garden. The outdoors area was nice and cleaned but the garden was absolutely beautiful with all flowers, olive trees and nice greenery.

FAQs about hotels in 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!

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Hermitage. The setting is beautiful, but what stood out most was the service. The concierge and front desk were excellent, and the staff throughout the hotel were friendly, attentive and hardworking. There are tennis courts, several pools and a private beach, with food and drink service throughout the day. Beach service was always quick and efficient, and the snacks and light meals were very good. Breakfast offers a wide selection and is one of the highlights of the hotel. For dinner, there are two options: a more casual restaurant with a good choice of dishes, and the main restaurant, which is definitely worth trying. The dessert buffet is particularly impressive, as is the generous selection of cheeses to enjoy with wine after dinner. We stayed in the main building in a sea and bay-view room and were very happy with our choice. A great place to stay on Elba, especially if you enjoy good food, a beautiful beach and attentive service. We would happily return.

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.

After a 12 day tour of Spain, France, and Italy, we found Portoferraio very relaxing and beautiful. We spent most of our time at our hotel because everything we needed was right there - from the pool and beach to the dining options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The sunsets every evening were stunning! We enjoyed our adventure of driving to Procchio Beach where we rented chairs and an umbrella on the sandy beach and enjoyed swimming in the crystal clear sea, eating delicious pizza at a nearby restaurant, and stopping at a small stand for a gelato before we left.

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.

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.

Chiessi is a tiny hamlet on the less touristic coast of the island. It's great for swimming and snorkeling, with its crystal-clear waters, but the beach is rocky and lacks sand. I do not mind that, but be advised. Parking is an issue in summer, and there's no supermarket. Sun and sea lovers only.

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.

An Elba Pass (bus pass)gives unlimited bus use for 1, 3 or 6 days and even if you have a car it gives you really good access to the island, stress-free and able to enjoy a few beers or glasses of wine! The Gourmet Food Court is great (wide selection of excellent food - I had the best Caesar salad of my life at the outlet that advertises itself as a pasta specialist(!). It is air conditioned superbly and underneath there is a shop that is one of those "we sell everything - and really cheap!" shops that is WELL worth a look (some great stuff in there). Do use the infoPark (Tourist Info) on the corner of Calata Italia and the bus station. They can give you a really good map and point out where the ATMs are (amongst other things, of course). For everyday stuff, I recommend the Coop Supermarket (InfoPark will point it out). Good range of stuff and good prices but don't expect to buy any over the counter medicines like aspirin or paracetamol like we do in England. Supermarkets don't stock it and you will have to try out your Italian at the Farmacia! I think you will love it.
