    Isola d'Elba🇮🇹
    I'm deeply in love with my beautiful Italy. This is the Elba Island, in Tuscany. Wonderful sea. This island hosted Napoleon during his exile.

    Review of: Spiaggia Della Biodola
    Best sand beach for kids
    Difficult to park close to the beach but with nice sand and a great bar close to the beach.
    The water is very shallow so it’s a good place for games in the water and good for small kids.

    Review of: Padulella Beach
    crystal clear water
    Beautiful water on a pebble beach, nice snorkeling area available. Not a very big beach, most is private renting out beach beds and umbrellas.
    Only negative is a nice long walk down to the beach (have to go back up later)

    very nice beach, stunning view!
    This bay is very beautiful, not to far from Portoferairo. The bay has two beaches & beautiful views. There are opportunities to buy food and drinks.

    Review of: Spiaggia di Seccione
    Best Beach on Elba
    If you ask me, Seccione is the best beach on Elba ( or one of the best, not to be rude and leave the specular beaches of Elba out).
    the acces to the beach is a little bit difficult, people that have problem with stairs should be careful, but once you reach the place is amazing!!

    Review of: Villa of San Martino
    Felt they just drain money out
    The place is quite nice, but just pay 4€ for parking which was empty plus another 5 euro to enter. Plce is nice but there are 2 rooms and we cannot see the entire complex. I think is over price and overrated! nice but i think can be better organized

    Review of: Palazzina dei Mulini
    Very interesting
    Napoleon's summer house is full of history with paintings and beautiful furnitures of this era. The gardens are exquisite with a sea view on Elba's coast. The office room is also quite fascinating with a good library. It well worth a visit!

    Review of: Percorso dell'Enfola
    Straightforward hike, not too strenuous, gorgeous views
    The small hill at Enfola has a very well maintained and well marked path up and around. There are interesting things to see on the hillside, including an old tuna processing plant, and a number of buildings that we repurposed by German soldiers in WW2 to defend the island from attacks from the Allied forces. These include interesting tunnels and gun mounts/turrets.

    A lovely side path takes you out and down to the end of the peninsula to the "nave" where you can enjoy gorgeous views of the western side of Elba as well as Corsica in the distance. Looking the other way you can see the fort at Portoferraio as well as the mainland port of Piombino. You'll be able to enjoy sunrise or sunset in total peace here if you choose!

    From Enfola beach, up and around the hill as well as out to the tip of the "nave" takes 75-90 minutes. There are a couple of slippery / crumbly sections on the way to the "nave" that mean flip flops are not the best footwear, but otherwise this is a very straightforward walking area.

    Review of: Forte Falcone
    Well worth the arduous walk
    Irregular cobble stones and countless steps will only inspire you more to hike through this amazing fortress complex. Incredible views of the city. Highly recommend.
