We had a great room with balcony facing the sea. The hotel has good parking and is within walking distance to the center of town.

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.

Great location overlooking bay and sea, walking distance from restaurants and next to beautiful hike of the peninsula. Nice patio comfortable for sitting outside.

An excellent hotel in a perfect location. Everything was exceptionally clean, the rooms were very comfortable, and the air conditioning worked perfectly. The staff were genuinely kind, welcoming, and helpful. The price was more than reasonable for such a high standard of service and comfort. I had a wonderful stay and would definitely love to return. Highly recommended!

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.

The service and room was large.

We had the best time at Hotel Villa Ottone on Elba Island. What a beautiful place! Our room was lovely, cool and spacious. The staff were amazing, so attentive. We spent every day on the beach, so relaxing. The food from breakfast, lunch and dinner was superb! And the cocktails....Wow! Highly recommend!

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.

Fantastic location, quiet, tranquil and surrounded by gardens. 150 meters from a likewise quiet beach. Excellent staff- super nice and friendly. Will be back

Beautiful old hotel with lots of character. Very friendly staff. Breakfast is excellent and recommend half-board.

Exquisite elevated views from multiple levels and venues. Lovely pool. Wonderful staff from reception to bartender to wait staff to housekeeping, all offering kind thoughtful service. Dinner and breakfast were delicious.

Hotel in front of the beach in a small village with its own beach. A small private patio, comfortable for hanging your wet clothes and sitting outside the room. Parking included.

Gorgeous rooftop and amazing staff

Modern amenities and comfortable outdoor space. Short walk to the local beach.

Posizione fantastica vista mare

I loved the shape of the building as it allowed a 360 view of the gorgeous surroundings. Absolutely relaxing. The staff was welcoming but gave us space, check-in was easy, the breakfast was so good we eat it even though we don’t usually have it at home! Shoutout to the masseuse as well!

Breakfast was excellent as is the location. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We would return.

Clean, friendly and helpful staff.

Exceptional location, walking distance to restaurants, beach, free parkinf areas and dowtown of Marciana Marina. The staff is super friendly, good breakfast and the rooms are clean and confortable. 100% recommended.

My stay was great, beyond my expectations. I liked everything: the perfect location for hiking in the mountains and going to the nearby beaches; the staff, kind and always available; the exceptional breakfast and the possibility of having a small snack with fresh, unpackaged products, tea or water, every time you return from a trip; the style of the hotel that has maintained a vintage charm, but very functional.

the location, the room design, how clean it was, the bed was exceptionally comfortable

The property is beautiful, the plants and the lobby are so nice and the whole property had a very tropical, vacation feel. It was beautiful.
