The island of Elba<\/strong> is the third largest island in Italy and the largest of the seven Tuscan Archipelago islands<\/strong> of Capraia, Pianosa, Giglio, Giannutri, Montecristo and Gorgona and measures roughly 224 sqkm.<\/p>\n

It is connected to the mainland by the port of Piombino.<\/p>\n

It is surrounded by crystal clear sea<\/strong> with variegated shades of blue, richly populated sea beds<\/strong> and many different small sandy<\/strong> beaches,<\/p>\n

shingle<\/strong> coves hidden between lush vegetation and sheer cliff faces<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The island of Elba is covered in rich mediterranean maquis made up of chestnut trees, pine trees, cork oaks, holm oaks, white heather, broom, gorse and pretty strawberry trees.<\/p>\n

In spring<\/strong> the maquis is in full bloom and the intense perfume<\/strong> and colours of the gorse and broom and other spring flowers and herbs fill the hillside footpaths<\/strong> once trodden with donkeys to reach<\/p>\n

steep terraced vineyards<\/strong> of which the western side of the island was plentiful.<\/p>\n

The Eastern side of the island<\/strong>, rich in iron ore and minerals<\/strong> was mainly vocated to mining until the 1980’s and now offers spectacular scenery within the Mine Park areas.\u00a0 Deep red and yellow canyons<\/strong> score the hillsides and iron pyrites flakes<\/strong> make the earth glisten<\/strong> underfoot. The Mine Park offers fantastic cycle routes from the easier to the most demanding competetive routes and trekking pathways criss cross the carved out hillsides.<\/p>\n

The island of Elba is known to be a treasure trove of minerals<\/strong>, it has an impressive concentration of diversity of minerals, enough to earn it the title of “an open air mineral museum<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

The island of Elba is part of the National park of the Tuscan Archipelago<\/strong>, (PNAT) an ideal location for nature lovers to discover its flora, fauna and marine wildlife whilst walking , kayaking or sailing<\/strong> round the island.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are the best periods for visiting the island?<\/strong><\/p>\n

March, April and May are ideal for trekking and cycling as the maquis is in full bloom<\/strong> and days are long , warm and crisp.<\/p>\n

June , July and August are months best dedicated to exploring villages<\/strong> and the hustle and bustle of\u00a0 outdoor living, m<\/strong>aking the best of the variety of beaches available soaking in the summer sun<\/strong><\/p>\n

and beautiful energising colours of the sea.<\/strong><\/p>\n

September and October are ideal for end of season swimming as the sea remains warm<\/strong> from the past summer months. Again temperatures are lower than in summer making trekking and cycling<\/p>\n

a good option for some end of season calm and warmth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_raw_html]JTVCZ29vZ2xlX21hcF9lYXN5JTIwaWQlM0QlMjIxJTIyJTVE[\/vc_raw_html][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

During winter the weather is never extreme and more subtropical. Winters tend to be temperate and humid and summer dry and hot.<\/p>\n

In our opinion Spring<\/em> is the most beautiful season<\/strong> to visit the island of Elba, when nature is waking up from its winter sleep<\/strong><\/em> and the maquis explodes into a heady mix of colours and perfumes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tourism on Elba has been able to expand whilst not destroying<\/strong> the surrounding environment<\/strong> and changing the landscape , traditions and the habits<\/strong> of the local inhabitants.<\/p>\n

On the island of Elba you will find a magical places to visit.<\/p>\n

You will be able to revisit history through the ages<\/strong> from prehistoric inhabitants to the iron ore mines which the Etruscans<\/strong> and then the Romans<\/strong> used to build up their empires, through to pirate incursions, bloody battles and Napoleon<\/strong> and the significant mark that he left on the island during his exile.<\/p>\n

If you let yourself be enchanted by sea breezes which carry legends<\/strong> and tales of the past you will soon realize that every single grain of sand can hold a story of past adventures on land and sea<\/strong> as fascinating as the colours of this island<\/strong>. We are sure you will be caught up in the beauty of our island and will never want to leave.<\/p>\n

Our multi-faceted island offers relaxation, sea, good food and excellent wines<\/strong> and history. We must not forget the other face of the island, sport and adventure.<\/p>\n

Much loved by mountain bikers, scuba divers and trekkers<\/strong><\/em> our island offers numerous possibilities for combining an active holiday with the seaside.<\/p>\n
