The Island of Elba is the ideal location for sports enthusiasts and
those seeking an active holiday. It offers the perfect
combination: nature, sea and sport.
With a distance of 10 kilometers from the continent and a size of 224
square kilometers, Elba is the biggest island of the Tuscan Archipelago
and actually the third-biggest of Italy. A large part of the Elba
Island and of the other islands of the Tuscan Archipelago (Pianosa,
Capraia, Montecristo, Giglio and Giannutri) are protected in the
National Park of the Tuscan Archipelago.
There are more than 70 beaches on the coastlines of the island, some
very peaceful, others more crowded. Connections
Elba is well connected with the Tuscany coast in Piombino. A
ferry takes 50 minutes to reach Portoferraio, main center of the
island. The timetable depends on the season. In high
season, they run almost every hour. Piombino is about 2 hours
from Florence, so a daily excursion into the city or in the Tuscan
countryside is also possible. Elba is also reachable by plane
flying directly to Marina di Campo that is served in summer by airlines
out of Milan, Rome, Pisa, Bern, Munich and Vienna. History
Elba, one time home-in-exile to Napoleon, has been largely
ignored by English-speaking tourists.
The Island is graced with a countless variety of beaches-- from rocky
coves to pebbled inlets to sandy beaches. The water is cool,
refreshing, and clear. Monte Capanne, the island's highest peak,
provides hikers with a panoramic view of the mainland of Italy and the
islands of Corsica, Capraia, Pianosa and Monte Cristo. Its
forests and mountain trails attract hikers and mountain bikers while
stables offer guided rides through the hills. Elba has been inhabited
as early as the 10th century BC by the Greeks then, through the
centuries was conquered by the Etruscans, the Romans, the Normans and
the Saracens. In 1802 it was annexed to France and in 1814
Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled here under the Treaty of Fontainebleau
and left behind many marks, including two residences which are now open
to tourists.
This property usually books Friday to Friday, but
sometimes Saturday to Saturday requests can be accommodated.
