Location
In the heart of Elba, a short walk from the sea
One of the things our guests love most. Here is why.
Which part of Elba is best to stay in?
It is one of the first questions when planning a holiday on this island. Elba is wonderful in every corner, with areas that differ in colours, views and beaches: that is why it pays to choose a base from which you can discover them all.
Every day you can decide where to go: a different beach, a village to visit, a sunset, a festival or a summer evening, and then return comfortably to the estate. And you will always find the most beautiful sea by choosing the coast sheltered from the day's wind.
We often hear: 'this island has so much to offer that we want to come back to discover more!'. Elba is Italy's third-largest island, with more than 200 beaches and coves and 7 municipalities, each with its own character.
To truly enjoy it (beaches, trails, restaurants, events) the ideal choice is to stay in the centre of the island. That is why the Portoferraio area is the perfect starting point for every day of your holiday.
The estate: real countryside, town close by
The estate lies in the middle of Portoferraio's north coast, 500 metres from the main road out of town, in the countryside on the outskirts. Far enough not to hear the traffic and to enjoy an oasis of peace and quiet, close enough to set off in no time to any part of the island.
Access is easy, wide and well lit, and the whole property, including the large car park, is on level ground: not to be taken for granted on Elba.

The secret to always finding calm water
On Elba the wind is what matters: with a north wind the best sea is on the south coast, with a south wind on the north coast. From the estate you are minutes from the northern beaches, some even on foot, and about 15 minutes from the southern ones. To know every day which beach is sheltered from the wind, there is L'App Elbana, free.
