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

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.

The Island of Elba

Roman villas, Napoleon’s residencies, Medici’s fortresses, mineral museums: this and more you can find on Elba, which proves the importance the island was given over the centuries, both because of the strategic location and the beauty of the nature and the mining resources.

The Island of Elba, pearl of the Tuscan Archipelago, island without borders: sea, beaches, green of the hinterland, small villages, archeological treasures, chestnut-woods and more follow one another uninterruptedly.

Elba gives this feeling of many things in one, thru the narrow spaces of the island you can find definitely different tourist and environmental situations: areas dried by the sun and the winds, as well as green areas, sand beaches, gravel beaches, steep sea cliffs.

Nature, history, traditions and man work, suggest many reasons for an holiday on Elba….and maybe to stay.
