Podere Il Ritorno
Self-catering farm stay · accommodation only · Portoferraio
Apartments and rooms among the olive trees, a short walk from the sea.
Our story
In 2021 our family fell in love with this old farmstead, then almost abandoned. Day by day we restored the houses and the olive grove, bringing back its original details while keeping its rural soul.
Today it is an oasis of peace where we produce our own extra virgin olive oil and welcome guests in independent homes cared for in every detail — with the slow pace of the past and the sea a ten-minute walk away.
Podere Il Ritorno is a self-catering farm stay (accommodation only), set in the green Elban countryside: a real working farm, with the olive grove and farm work that follows the seasons. It is not a hotel and not a restaurant: it is the pleasure of spending a few days close to nature.
And real countryside means sun, wind and scents, but also pollen, dust and a few small residents such as ants, geckos and insects. Nature lovers feel at home here; if you have significant allergies to pollen, dust or insects, please bear this in mind before booking.
Life on the estate
The green of the olive grove, the shade of the pergola and the silence of the Elban countryside: on the estate, calm feels at home.
About four hundred olive trees, hand-picked every autumn: they give our extra virgin olive oil, made in small quantities, to taste during your stay and take home.

The coves of Sottobomba, Capo Bianco and La Padulella are a pleasant walk away — no car, no parking.

Intimate homes, designed above all for couples looking for peace and relaxation. Every unit has its own entrance, a private outdoor space, air conditioning and Wi-Fi. Bed linen, towels and final cleaning are always included.
The estate does not offer meals or breakfast: every unit is independent and has its own kitchen.
For longer stays and for those who like to feel at home: each has a real kitchen and room to live, inside and out.
