island elba

island elba

So now we have arrived, we’ve safely disembarked and left behind the colours and scents
of the bustling harbour and the frenzied activity of holiday-makers.

We made our way to the centre of the island along the roads that from Procchio overlook the
colourful houses of Marciana Marina and climb up through the vast woodlands of Marciana
Alta perched on a craggy mountainside. In the distance we were thrilled to see the outline of
Capraia Island and even caught sight of Bastia enshrouded in a light haze… and then
nothing but silence.

The ingrained stillness of small villages and peaceful coves where time seems to stand
still. We cast our gaze on this fishing village, with its weather-beaten rocks and cultivated
terracing… and at last we arrive at destination.

Island Elba the pearl of the mediterra

February 9, 2008

Island Elba, the pearl of the Tuscan Archipelago, the island without frontier: the sea, the beaches, the green of the countryside, the small fortress towns, archaeological treasures, chestnut woods and more, continue to exist for what seems like an eternity.

Island Elba gives the sensation of so much in so little as in the small spaces of the island we travel over tourist attractions and natural landscapes of such contrast; areas dried out by sun and wind, others green with life, sandy or pebble stone beaches, rocky coastlines and cliffs.

The natural landscape, the history, the traditions along with man’s labour have made Elba a worthy alternative for a vacation… or maybe even a permanent stay.

The Island of Elba has about 8.126 beds in first-class hotels, 10.000 places in campings and tourist villages, 2.340 beds in residences and offers the best services and professional people to give you a wonderful holiday and pleasant meeting-places.

Choose carefully the tourist infrastructure you like clicking on the item on your left. It’s possible to choose and book the resort contacting directly the hotel, the residence, the camping, the farm-holiday or the travel agencies.
