Prima a recensire! First to review!…read more Elba is primarily uncharted territory on Yelp. Napoleon was banished to this island (poor guy! boo hoo!), and while he definitely made his mark, he didn't write many reviews. I loved Elba. It's a beautiful slice of Earth with some incredibly friendly people. Marcello, the owner of Villa Rodriguez, was one of the most accommodating and hospitable inn keepers I've ever encountered. He would literally jump up and run to get us something we wanted or needed. Granted, my husband and I visited when there was almost no one staying here or on the island (in between Italian holidays, and before the summer rush), but his service and care were nonetheless very appreciated. The beach access and the service were the highlights of this charming place. The rooms were a bit basic, with really cramped showers (or maybe I thought they were cramped because I was eating pasta and gelato almost daily?), and not the most comfortable beds, but Elba is not a place where one should be spending time indoors. It was nicely maintained, and sitting on the veranda with a cappuccino in hand, watching the azure water quietly lap into the cove was a wonderful morning meditation. Capolivieri, the closest town, is a really unique hamlet perched on a hill. It hasn't made many concessions to tourism, and has some delicious restaurants. I working on my plan to get banished here myself-let me know if you have any ideas!

Nice and clean hotel located 200m from the beautiful Naregno beach on the Southern part of the Elba…read moreIsland. Rooms are pretty basic, and there's no air conditioning in the stairs and corridors, pretty inconvenient in the Summer. No internet in the rooms, while a (non free) Wi-Fi connection is available at the lobby. There's a swimming pool, a small Jacuzzi and tennis courts. Restaurant is a short walk away from the main building, just by the beach, and breakfast buffet is good and abundant. There's no much in the neighbor area, excepted for the beach, so you need either full board at the hotel or a car to go eat at some restaurant elsewhere. In general it's a place for families, lot of Germans and Swiss with kids, not really for business stays.
