The complete island tour of Isola d’Elba

It’s possible to ride around the whole perimeter of Isola d’Elba, both in a clockwise and anticlockwise direction. It’s 109 kilometres, but fun times are guaranteed.

Description

Not only beaches and cliffs, sun and sea… on Isola d’Elba paths unwind drawing perfect trajectories along the coast, vineyards, olive groves and the fragrance of aromatic herbs. This is the case with the route going around the whole island, both clockwise and anticlockwise: 109 kilometres with continuous rises and descents, and a couple of short but challenging climbs such as Volterraio and Monte Tambone.

If you choose the clockwise side, you’ll have to tackle the tough face of Volterraio, while in an anticlockwise direction you can cycle along the outer lane of the road, more exposed to the wide stretches overlooking the sea, but ideal to better enjoy the jagged coastline and views of the island.

This Under-the-radar Italian Island Offers Gin-clear Waters, White-sand Beaches, and Postcard-perfect Villages

Here's what you need to know about visiting Elba, a stunning Italian island part of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park.

tour isola d'elba

More than 50 million people visited Italy in 2022, and many made their way to popular destinations like Rome, Milan, and the Amalfi Coast . But, if you’re going to be among the millions that head to the European nation in 2023 and beyond, may we suggest you look beyond the normal spots and visit one of the most stunning Italian islands instead? Namely, we suggest heading to Elba, Italy’s third-largest island, part of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park. 

The island is by no means hidden — it does, after all, have a population of around 30,000 full-time residents — but it is by every measure an under-the-radar spot for most tourists. It’s time you got to know what Italians already do: Elba is the place to be for summer break. 

e55evu/Getty Images

What to Know 

Elba may be the third-largest island in Italy, but it still only measures in at 86 square miles. It’s large enough to feel like a place you can spend days on end, but small enough to feel manageable. The island is a destination perfect for outdoor lovers with seemingly endless hiking and mountain biking trails and awe-inspiring beaches that are ideal for lounging around for an entire day in the sun. Elba is also packed with history — it’s most famous for being the site of Napoleon’s first exile. The French military commander lived on the island from 1814 until 1815, when he escaped back to France.

When to Go to Elba 

Like most places in Italy, there really is no “bad” time to visit Elba. There are just a few times throughout the year that may feel a little more pleasant than others. The summer months (between June and mid-September) are ideal, with daily average highs hitting above 75°F, according to WeatherSpark . However, even January, the island’s coldest month, is still worth considering for a vacation, as the daily high hovers around 55°F. The island’s rainiest months arrive in the fall, between September and early December — so if you’re hoping for a beachside break, perhaps avoid this time.

Things to Do on Elba

Soak in the thermal baths of san giovanni..

Vacations should be a time for rest and relaxation, and the island of Elba more than delivers thanks to its famed thermal baths . The baths can be found in a thermal basin located on the Portoferraio Gulf. It’s a place that’s said to be rich in iron and iodine, which will help soothe aching muscles. 

Climb Mount Capanne.

Work up a sweat and take in the gorgeous view with a hike up Mount Capanne, the tallest mountain on the island. The mountain rises some 3,200 feet in elevation, and the trail to its peak is about eight miles long. If you plan to make the trip to the top and back, make sure to plan for an entire day and pack plenty of water. 

Lounge on the beach.

Though the island is filled with gorgeous beaches worthy of your vacation days, Biodola is a standout option. The beach is home to stunning azure waters and warm, soft sand. It’s also sheltered from southern winds, making it the perfect place to lounge under an umbrella from sun up to sun down. 

Go snorkeling.

The waters around the island make for an ideal place to go for a dip and take a peek at the fish swimming below. Guests here will find eels, starfish, and colorful coral. There are plenty of outfitters that are happy to take you out to various destinations around the island; see many of the spots and book a tour online .

Elba Hotels

Hotel hermitage.

Have a dreamy escape in Elba when you book a room at the seaside Hotel Hermitage . The charming hotel is home to rooms with massive balconies providing sweeping views of the gin-clear waters outside, as well as plenty of private beach frontage with loungers and umbrellas for everyone. 

Experience a bit of Elba’s history with a stay at Il Termine , an 18th-century home turned boutique hotel. The hotel sits inside a lush forest just a few steps away from the shore. It’s ultra-romantic and has a wellness spa with treatment rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows so you never have to leave the gorgeous views for long. 

Le Acacie Hotel & Residence

Those traveling as a family will adore Le Acacie Hotel & Residence . This hotel sits right on the water’s edge and comes with plenty of high-end amenities, but also boasts a kids club and teens club, so everyone in the family can experience something special. 

How to Get to Elba

The easiest way to get to Elba is via ferry from the mainland town of Piombino. See all the options for ferry rides on the Visit Tuscany website .

Le Long Weekend

Guide to Visiting Elba Island, Italy

With seascapes to take your breath away and the charm of crumbling history, Napoleon’s place of exile is spellbinding. Visiting Elba Island means drifting from azure waters to quaint restaurants and cellar doors for local wines.

When you’ve finished ‘drifting’, launch into adventure activities like mountain biking and scuba diving. Inland, lush forests cover mountains decorated by waterfalls and crisscrossed with walking trails. 

The largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago is part of the largest marine park in Europe and, of course, famous for harbouring French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte in 1814. History buffs gleefully trace his footsteps through villas, museums and endless stories.

You’ll certainly work up an appetite for the gastronomic delights around every corner across the island, with lashings of Elba olive oil straight from the groves overlooking the sea. 

tour isola d'elba

How to get to Elba Island

Located off the coast of Tuscany, most people reach Isola d’Elba by taking a ferry from the coastal town of Piombino in Italy. Four ferry companies – Toremar, Moby, Blu Navy, and Elba Ferries – offer multiple crossings daily to the island’s three ports: Portoferraio, the main port, Rio Marina, and Cavo.

The trip typically takes about 60 minutes, depending on the specific route and weather conditions, and you can travel as a foot passenger, or with your car. In the summer months, when visitor numbers are at their peak, there are more frequent crossings. You can search for, and book fares on Ferryhopper .

For those who value speed and convenience, a small airport in Marina di Campo offers chartered flights primarily during the summer season.

tour isola d'elba

How Long to Spend on Elba Island

How long to spend on the Italian Island of Elba depends on what you’re most interested in, and what you wish to experience (as you can see below, there’s plenty to choose from!).

Generally, 3-4 days will provide a good overview of the island, allowing time to explore the main attractions such as the historic residences of Napoleon Bonaparte, the vibrant Portoferraio, and some of the best beaches like Sansone and Capo Bianco.

If you’re keen on outdoor activities, such as hiking the island’s trails, diving to explore underwater worlds, or visiting some of the more secluded beaches, a week-long stay may be a better choice.

tour isola d'elba

For those wishing to really experience the natural beauty and history of this island in more detail – or to simply enjoy a more leisurely pace – a longer stay of two weeks or so should do the trick.

Remember, Elba’s charm lies in its diversity, and each visitor may find a different aspect to appreciate and explore.

How to Get Around Elba Island

Elba island, despite being Italy’s third-largest island, is still fairly small, at only 224 sq kms, making it fairly easy to navigate. That said, when we visited in May the winding roads were already quite congested with bikes, cars, and buses, so I can’t imagine what chaos would ensue come the high season! Alternatively, bikes are available to hire and Elba boasts a network of cycling trails that span its diverse landscapes.

There is also a public bus service, with routes connecting the major towns and some of the popular beaches. In summer, there’s also a ‘Marebus’ service which provides access to less accessible beaches.

Finally, you can rent boats (without having to have a boat licence) to explore the coast, or jump on a group tour.

tour isola d'elba

Where to Stay on Elba Island

This one will depend a little on how you plan to get around. If you’re bringing your own car, or hiring one, the choice is yours. We stayed in Fetovaia and it had the perfect old-school Italian vibe, without being busy. If you prefer a buzzier atmosphere, perhaps choose Marina di Campo. And if upscale accommodation on a private beach is more your vibe, head straight for Biodola.

Hotel Hermitage is my dream Elba Island accommodation! It’s a stunning property made up of private villas next to the most perfect bay. As an “all-in-one” resort, they offer boat rental, diving lessons, pilates classes, an onsite spa, and kid’s facilities too.

tour isola d'elba

Simona Panorama is where we stayed and it made an affordable base in Fetovaia. We loved the incredible views, walking down to the beach, and the large balcony for dining al fresco. If you have kids, this is the ideal place to stay.

Hotel Montecristo is ideally located in Marina di Campo, with a wide beach, tours, and restaurants on your doorstep.

Things to Do on Elba Island

If you love an action-packed itinerary, you’ll find it on Elba holidays. That is, if you can leave the turquoise water and your ideal spot on a ravishing beach behind.

Discover Portoferraio 

tour isola d'elba

Catch a ferry from the port of Piombino on the mainland and you’ll arrive in the capital of Elba in under an hour. Portoferraio traces its history back to ancient Greeks, but it’s the city’s imposing fort, commissioned in 1548, that you’ll see on arrival.

Connected by dramatic walls and walkways, the Medici forts of Falcone, Stella and Linguella dominate a landscape trod by famous local Napoleon. For the best ocean views, get your camera ready for shots from Forte Falcone.

tour isola d'elba

To delve into history, visit the Archaeological Museum in the ancient Linguella salt warehouses. From the maritime trade in the Tuscan Archipelago to weapons and vases, you’ll step back in time from the 8th century BCE to the 5th century CE.

Pop next door to the ruins of the Roman Villa della Linguella. Day or night in the old town, expect to run into enticing drinking and dining options with enchanting views and oodles of charm. 

Follow Napoleon

tour isola d'elba

Walking in the footsteps of Napoleon is without a doubt among the top Elba highlights. Start at The Palazzina dei Mulini, translated as ‘Little Palace of the Mills’ and Napoleon’s former residence between Forte Stella and Forte Falcone.

Picture yourself standing watch over the port as he once did from the strategic position. Then, admire antiques and furniture, along with works of art by Voltaire and La Fontaine in the library. 

The Palazzina is part of the National Museum of Napoleonic Residences, also including Villa San Martino. As the Emperor’s summer residence, it’s located in the nearby countryside. See the neoclassical Demidoff Gallery decorated with 19th-century prints.

tour isola d'elba

Arguably the highlight, the Egyptian Hall features a Zodiac on the ceiling and references to military campaigns. In the Room of the Doves, a painting symbolises his loyalty to his wife Marie-Louise of Austria. 

Venture further across the island to see the hermitage Napoleon stayed at near the medieval Sanctuary of the Madonna del Monte, in Marciana. Framed by a chestnut forest, the sanctuary showcases a 15th-century Madonna painting and a 20th-century bell tower.

Back in Portoferraio – and if you just can’t get enough of Bonaparte – head to the Napoleonic Museum of Mercy to see casts of his hand and face among religious objects and books.  

Explore Parco Minerario

tour isola d'elba

Highlighting about 3,000 years of iron ore mining and manufacturing, the Mineral Park of Elba preserves the culture surrounding it. This is an adventure for the whole family, with guides to show you around while getting to know the language of minerals.

Housed in the 18th-century Palazzo del Buro, the Mineral and Mining Art Museum in Rio Marina gets you started. ‘Ooh and ahh’ over local pyrite and hematite among collections of original mining artefacts.

tour isola d'elba

A fun way to see the mining areas, especially with the kids, is aboard the train (it pays to book in advance of your visit). Once inside the park, you can mine your own minerals to take home with you!

Otherwise, join guided walks of the Rio Marina and Rio Albano mines, where Mediterranean scrub blends with moon-like scenes left over from the era.

tour isola d'elba

Snap some great shots of you with the red-coloured Cantiere delle Conche site as a backdrop. Valle Giove, otherwise known as Jupiter’s Valley, is the largest site and features a giant amphitheatre of terraced steps. 

Go Beach-Hopping

tour isola d'elba

Lazing around on breathtaking beaches in Elba is a dream come true for water babies. Cavoli is among the most famous, with the energetic vibe of beach parties and holiday crowds. That doesn’t detract from the crystal-clear water and the fun of diving off the rocks.

For golden sand framed by granite cliffs, choose our favourite, Fetovaia. This sheltered stretch is overlooked by Punta Fetovaia promontory and is ideal for pedalo rides and laid-back beach days.

While you’re exploring Portoferraio, cool off at Capo Bianco on a backdrop of white soaring cliffs to match the pebbly beach. Photographers love Sansone’s white rocks and pebbles offsetting iridescent ocean blues. Don’t forget your snorkelling gear to explore rocky areas filled with colourful fish between lazy hours on the sunbeds.

tour isola d'elba

On the west side of the island, Chiessi Beach is a petite beauty of flat sunbaking rocks and fascinating underwater worlds. It’s generally calm for relaxing floating, however, when the wind kicks up windsurfers flock here to take advantage of the conditions. 

For action-packed adventures at your fingertips, choose a patch of sand at Marina de Campo, the island’s longest beach. Shallow water attracts families with kids, along with guided kayak excursions, pedalo rides and an abundance of restaurants lining the sand.

tour isola d'elba

The second longest beach is Lacona, with water sports and a pine grove for shady picnics. But, you might prefer Laconella for a more peaceful slice of beachy paradise. 

tour isola d'elba

Finally, if you’re looking for a beach nestled in nature, head for Spiaggia della Sorgente and Spiaggia di Sansone. Between them is the Sansone Reef Bar where you can sip on an Aperol Spritz with a beautiful view between swims.

Boating and Kayaking

tour isola d'elba

When it comes to what to do in Elba, there’s arguably no better way to see the sights than hopping aboard a boat trip. Cruise along the coast with your camera at the ready for awe-inspiring scenes of dramatic cliffs and serene coves off the beaten path.

Half and full-day trips get you up close to Pomonte’s shipwreck for snorkelling (this is what we did). Or, head out on a fishing boat to get first-hand knowledge from the seafaring locals.  

You’ll find plenty of options at the port of Marina de Campo. Choose tours that explore the bay of Galenzana, surrounded by forests and water so clear you’ll see the multicoloured fish long before you dive in.

tour isola d'elba

See the dazzling Grotta Azzurra (Blue Grotto), where sunlight creates otherworldly blues in the cave. If you prefer paddling, join a guided kayaking tour to delve into Vescovo Grotto and navigate the Gulf of Cavoli with views to Montecristo Island in the distance. 

Catch the Cable Car

tour isola d'elba

There’s no shortage of bird’s eye views on Elba Island. However, at 950 metres above sea level, Monte Capanne is the island’s highest mountain and offers the best vantage point.

If sweating it out climbing the summit isn’t for you, the Cableway of Monte Capanne is the way to reap the rewards without the hard work. Plus, kids and big kids alike love hopping aboard the bright yellow cable cars that look just like fantasy bird cages. 

tour isola d'elba

Over an exciting 20 minutes, gaze out over views of the Tyrrhenian Sea in the distance and green-tipped mountains. Keep an eye out for roaming wild sheep along the way.

When you reach the top, viewing platforms provide ideal vantage points to spot the islands of Montecristo, Capraia, Painosa and more. You’ll take off from Marciana and stop for a drink from the bar at the top. 

Diving Adventures

tour isola d'elba

Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, diving in Elba reveals a Tuscan paradise underwater. With warm water temps and fantastic visibility, the protected marine environment ensures incredible encounters with both manmade and natural wonders.

The Italian merchant shipwreck Elviscot rests off the shore of Pomonte for shore dives in shallow water. Though it’s easy to explore with a snorkel alone, diving makes the most of sea creatures sheltering in the wreck. 

tour isola d'elba

Nicknamed ‘The House of the Groupers’, the island’s southern tip features dive sites adorned with huge rocks hiding groupers and steep walls home to moray eels and sea fans. Caves full of snapper and lobster greet you at the rock of Remaiolo in Capoliveri, while the shoal of Fonza delights experienced divers with red coral and yellowtails.

Resting in a prairie of posidonia in Punta Nera, the wreck of a small tourist plane lives again with molluscs and corals covering the cockpit. 

Hiking and Mountain Biking

tour isola d'elba

Don’t forget your comfy walking shoes for endless ambling and energetic hiking in Elba. If it’s views you’re seeking, climb Monte Capanne for sweeping panoramas over the archipelago. On a clear day, it’s likely you’ll see as far as Corsica. Hiking trails crisscross through chestnut trees and Mediterranean scrub lined with rock formations, all ringing with birdsong. 

Also part of the Archipelago Toscano National Park, the Butterfly Sanctuary trail begins in the picnic area at Monte Perone. Weave through pine forests exploding with wildflowers and Elban butterflies.

If hiking is your thing, take the challenge of the Grande Traversata Elbana, connecting most of the paths across the island and generally covered in three days with stops in Porto Azzurro and Procchio. 

tour isola d'elba

Two-wheel action is just as much fun, with forest paths and off-road mule tracks for mountain bikers. Take the easy option of the flat road route from Capoliveri to the Costa dei Gabbiani, stopping to see the ancient mines along the way. Hardcore biking enthusiasts love the dirt roads and winding paths on the way to Monte Perone and the small village of San Piero. 

Visit Villages

Hire a car to spend your days meandering around Elba’s picture-perfect villages. One such hilltop town is Marciana, with a history dating back to 35 BC.

Though it’s just a few kilometres from the sea, lush vegetation ensures a mountainous atmosphere dominated by sites including the four towers of the 12th-century Pisan Fortress. Discover the Romanesque church of San Lorenzo and the church of San Cerbone.

tour isola d'elba

Closer to the coast, the seaside town of Marciana Marina shares the appeal of its hilltop counterpart. Call in for a stroll through the charming streets, and grab a brioche con gelato (gelato served in a brioche bun) from Gelateria la Svolta.

tour isola d'elba

High above the sea, Capoliveri is another medieval marvel surrounded by charming vineyards.

Shop for artisan souvenirs in enchanting arcades and people watch from character-filled bars. Explore the ruins of the San Michele Church before heading back down to the coast and the nearby beaches of Barabarca and Calanova.

Developed at the foot of the Fortress of San Giacomo, Porto Azzurro is a hub of shops and restaurants amid historic sites, including the 18th-century Church of the Madonna del Carmine. Do yourself a favour and enjoy a meal at the vegan-friendly Magn’Etico Bistro tucked behind the beachfront promenade.

Wine and Din e

tour isola d'elba

Hop on the foodie trails throughout Elba Island and it’s not likely you’ll ever want to hop off! From centuries-old red wine production to the exotic influences of migrants, your taste buds are in for a serious treat.

One of the quintessential dishes you must try is ‘Gurguglione’, a flavorful medley of slow-cooked vegetables including eggplant, zucchini, potatoes, bell peppers, and tomatoes, seasoned with aromatic local herbs. Also popular is ‘Torta di ceci’, a thin, crispy chickpea flour pancake known as farinata in other parts of Italy, a simple yet delectable staple of the island. And of course, there’s focaccia for days…

Snacks don’t get much better than schiaccia briaca, a sweet cake found in most bakeries and, legend has it, a legacy from the Barbary pirates. Expect slices topped with raisins and pine nuts, with a hint of Aleatico red wine.

It’s hard to miss the chestnut trees dotting the island and you’ll enjoy the benefits of their fresh or dried offerings. They’re used to create variations of the island’s renowned honey, which also include eucalyptus and rosemary flavours.

Artisanal gelato, a staple throughout Italy, is also widely available in a plethora of fruity and nutty flavours. And let’s not forget the island’s fresh, locally produced olives and honey, a testament to Elba’s rich land and diverse plant life.

Some of the best meals we had on Elba were at Orti di Mare – an organic farm-to-table restaurant in a delightful rural setting near Lacona. And if you want to sample the island’s wines, this Tuscan wine tour is the way to go!

The beautiful Island of Elba, Italy is one of those rare, magical places that offers a slice of something to suit everyone. From following in the footsteps of Napoleon Bonaparte to snorkelling with shipwrecks and relishing in the atmosphere of fun-loving beach resorts, there’s an adventure to suit your mood.

Perhaps best of all, if that’s to do nothing but soak up the sun within the sheltered embrace of idyllic Tuscan coves, the leisurely atmosphere of Italian sojourns permeates the Elban air.

There are many reasons that attract tourists to Tuscany. The history, the culture, the artistic beauties, the culinary traditions, the wine, the landscape. Or rather, the landscapes. Yes, because Tuscany alternates, not far from each other, suggestive and often completely opposite landscapes. Worthy of note is the wonderful Tuscan Archipelago, among whose islands we find Elba. Discovering this multifaceted destination on a private boat tour is undoubtedly one of the best options. In this way, you will be able to see beaches and coves from a different perspective. If you are lucky, you can even spot dolphins. Continue reading our article to find out more about the program of our Private Motorboat Tour on the Island of Elba.

The tuscan archipelago.

A romantic legend hovers around the formation of the seven islands that make up the archipelago. In an attempt to reach her lover Eros, after having just emerged from the waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, the goddess Aphrodite lost her necklace. The seven pearls that constituted it fell into the sea, thus becoming the seven islands of today: Elba , Lily , Capraia , Montecristo , Pianosa , Giannutri is Gorgona. In addition to these, islands such as islands belong to the archipelago Palmaiola , Cerboli and the Ants of Grosseto and various rocks and shoals outcropping nearby.

Each island represents a world of its own, distinguished by morphology, history and character. However, to unite this vast territory is the National park established in 1966 , which aims to protect and safeguard this incredible natural heritage. The National Park of the Tuscan Archipelago it covers a total of 17694 land hectares and 61474 marine hectares. In fact, the archipelago is the largest marine protected area in Europe thanks to an agreement between the Principality of Monaco, France and Italy: the Pelagos cetacean sanctuary.

The island of Elba

With an extension of 22,350 hectares, the Island of Elba represents the largest of the Archipelago. It is also the third Italian island by extension after Sardinia and Sicily. It is divided into eight municipalities: Campo nell’Elba , Capoliveri , Marciana , Marciana Marina , Porto Azzurro , Portoferraio , Rio Marina is Rio nell’Elba .

The Elban territory is mainly mountainous and hilly, with flat areas mostly close to the southern coast. The Monte Capanne, with its 1019 meters of height, it is the highest peak. When the weather permits, from its top it is possible to admire a breathtaking panorama with a 360 ° view of the surroundings. This area is well suited for hiking. Precisely for this reason we mentioned it in our blog talking about most beautiful walks in Tuscany (article in English). It is possible to reach the top of the mountain through various hiking trails, as well as thanks to the cable car two-seater from Marciana, open in summer.

The uniqueness of the Elban landscapes

Like the other islands, Elba stands out for unique landscapes and a story in itself. Over the centuries, many peoples and cultures have inhabited the island. The Etruscans exploited the numerous steel mines, as did the Romans. The latter also discovered the therapeutic benefits of Elban muds. Also there Maritime Republic of Pisa , the family of Doctors and the Spaniards dominated these lands. In fact, still today there are many visible traces left by these peoples. Finally Napoleon lived his first exile here.

On the official site of tourism in Elba you can find more information on what to visit: from mines to the remains of prehistoric, Etruscan, Roman and medieval buildings, to the Napoleonic residence now used as a museum.

The island of Elba also boasts one unparalleled variety of beaches along its rugged coastline. A coast rich in inlets, hidden caves and wild coves . All this you can appreciate perfectly on board our private boat tour to the Island of Elba.

Motor boat excursion along the Elban coasts

Il Tour Privato in Barca a motore all’Isola d’Elba vi permette di ammirare questo gioiello della costa toscana da una prospettiva diversa, affidandovi alle mani di uno skipper che vi mostrerà angoli paradisiaci altrimenti non contemplabili in un tour a piedi dell’isola. Docking in the characteristic harbor of Porto Azzurro is an experience in itself, with a suggestive view of the pastel-colored houses, the characteristic alleys, the square and the Spanish Fort of San Giacomo.

Before arriving in Porto Azzurro, however, we will stop in a splendid cove for a few dives in the crystal clear waters. The tour includes free time in the village and a stop at Lacona beach along the southern coast.

The beach of Lacona on the Island of Elba

Lacona is just one of the many beaches on the island. However, it is one of the largest in terms of extension, ideal both for families with children and for young athletes . In fact, the beach is well equipped with bathing establishments, bars, hotels, restaurants and kiosks for sports activities. We are located in the deepest gulf of the Elban coast (about 3 km). The water level is quite low near the shoreline, only to rise at a distance of several meters.

In front of the Lacona beach, it is possible to enjoy a privileged view of the island of Montecristo. Lacona is distinguished from other beaches by the uniqueness of its protected environment. The white lily still grows on its dunes, once widespread throughout the Mediterranean.

What to see in Porto Azzurro

The characteristic village of Porto Azzurro overlooks the Gulf of Mola . It used to be called Porto Longone . Its name was changed only in 1947, with a much clearer reference to the tones of its wonderful waters. Among the attractions of Porto Azzurro, we cannot forget the delightful square overlooking the sea. Matteotti Square now represents the meeting place for locals and non-locals. It is also home to numerous cultural and musical events, especially during the summer season.

The Fortress (Ex Forte San Giacomo) is an evident trace of the Spanish domination. Just 3 km from the center is also the Sanctuary of the Madonna di Monserrato , which preserves the image of Black Madonna . It is a clear reference to that of the Spanish monastery of Montserrat, near Barcelona. In addition, the Church dedicated to San Giacomo Maggiore and that of Madonna del Carmine.

Customizable boat program

As with all our proposals, it is always possible to customize the program according to tastes and needs. For example, for those who wish, we can extend the duration of the tour. So you will have more time to visit the island or to circumnavigate it in its entirety. An idea could be to stay overnight on board or in a hotel. With more time available we can take you to discover other coves and beaches along the coast. If you are passionate about diving, we can show you interesting wrecks such as the one from Pomonte.

Elba Island Travel Guide

tour isola d'elba

TripSavvy / Lauren Breedlove

Elba Island, or Isola d'Elba, is the largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, a group of seven islands, including Giglio , in the Tyrrhenian Sea near the coast of  Tuscany . This island (Italy's third-largest after Sardinia and Sicily) is famous as the place where Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled in 1814. Apparently, Napoleon did not enjoy his time spent on Elba, but today, the island is a go-to destination for Italian and European travelers.

Only 40 minutes from the mainland by ferry, Elba is an easy day trip destination, but its scores of beaches and coves, crystal clear waters full of fish, charming seaside towns, and rugged, mountainous interior will also fill an itinerary for a week or longer. Since it's a destination for beach vacations, many hotels and restaurants close for the winter. Elba is best visited from April to October, with July and August being the most crowded months on the island.

Location & Geography

Elba is 10 miles (about 16 kilometers) from the Tuscany coast at Piombino, the departure point of ferries to the island. Although it's only about 12 miles wide, crossing from one side to the other is a 90-minute drive due to its mountainous terrain and slow-moving, curving roads. About 30,000 people live full-time on Elba, but this number swells greatly in the summer months.

There are at least 80 named beaches on Elba, with dozens more small coves. Beaches range from sandy to pebbly, and some have large rock formations at the water level. The interior of the island ranges is mountainous, with its highest peak being Mount Capanne at 3,340 feet in elevation. Since its earliest inhabitance, the island was valued as a source of minerals, including iron ore, rich deposits of which are still found. Its woodsy vegetation is made up of holly and cork oak trees, pine trees, thick underbrush, and numerous flowering plants. Wild boar and moufflon (a wild sheep) are the two largest wild animals on the island.

Where to Go on Elba

Elba has dozens of interesting, beautiful small towns to visit, many of which are built around a picturesque beach. Here are some of the major cities on the island:

  • Portoferraio: The capital of Elba, its largest city, and Napoleon's home base during his exile, Portoferraio is where most ferries from Piombino arrive. The city has a huge waterfront fortress, Roman ruins, and several sights related to Napoleon's stay. While the industrial area around the port is not very appealing, the "centro storico" (historic center) is colorful and nice to walk around.
  • Capoliveri:  On the southeastern part of the island, inland Capoliveri consists of a pretty, medieval town with several good restaurants, lots of vacation rental houses, and apartments, and a relaxed vibe. Some of the best beaches in Elba are a few miles downhill, including Laconella, Felciaio, and Innamorata beaches.
  • Marciana and Marciana Marina: West of Portoferraio, these sister communities are anything but twins: Marciana is high in the hills with a romantic, pedestrian-only center. Marciana Marina is a chic beach town, with a lively promenade lined with shops, bars, and restaurants.
  • Rio Marina: This interesting town began life as an iron mining center, and its streets, houses, and even its beaches still bear a reddish hue. Today it's a beach resort, but the Parco Minerario (Mineral Park) attraction recalls its past history. The beaches nearby are especially good for kids.
  • Porto Azzurro:  On Elba's east coast and built around a protected cove, Porto Azurro is one of the island's top beach resorts, with Barbarossa, Terranera, and Reale beaches among the most popular. The town has an established touristic infrastructure, with plenty of hotels, restaurants, and interesting things to see off the beach.
  • Marina di Campo: With its long stretch of sandy beach, and an abundance of seaside restaurants and hotels, Marina di Campo makes a good base for a beach vacation as well as for exploring other parts of the island, especially to the west.

What to Do on Elba

From beaches to museums to active pursuits, there's plenty to do on Elba.

  • Beaches: Elba's top beaches are too numerous to list, but Biodola, Sansone, Sant’Andrea, Fetovaia, Cavolia, and Felciaio are favorites. Most beaches have free areas where you can carve out a little space for a towel, or you can pay to rent a lounge chair and umbrella. The water is clear and warm enough for swimming from June to mid-October.
  • Museums: Napoleon's home in Portoferraio is viewable at the Villa dei Mulini and the National Museum of Napoleonic Residences , while the Linguella Archaeological Museum is built around an ancient Roman settlement on the waterfront. A visit to the Elba Museum of Minerals and Mineral Art in Rio Marina includes a tram tour of the Parco Minerario (the mineral park). At Capoliveri, the Maritime Museum looks at the history of sailing and shipwrecks around Elba.
  • Other attractions: A unique, bird-cage like cable car takes riders to the top of Mount Capanne, from where they can hike or ride back down. Near Rio nell'Elba, the Volterraio Fortress is the oldest on the island, while the Medici Fortress in Portoferraio is a maze of bastions and has great views of the coast and town.
  • Active sports: Snorkeling, diving, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding are all popular aquatic pastimes in the blue waters surrounding Elba. Inland, hiking and mountain biking trails offer challenges for adventure-seekers. There are also two nine-hole golf courses on the island.

Where to Stay on Elba

For a complete tour of Elba, it makes sense to stay in two or three different locations on the island and take time to explore in the near vicinity. Recommended hotels include:

  • Hotel Ilio is a friendly boutique property close to the splendid beach at Sant'Andrea, and feels worlds away from the rest of the island.
  • Hotel Biodola is a highly rated four-star property right on popular Biodola beach.
  • Al28 B&B is right in Portoferraio center, but very close to a beautiful beach.

As for dining options, the island has a bevy of quality restaurants and plenty of run-of-the-mill ones. Most restaurants along the coast focus on seafood, while inland restaurants place emphasis on land-based fare. Ask for recommendations from locals, who will know where to eat well. In Portoferraio, Pizzeria Il Castagnacciao serves tasty rectangular pizzas. Ristorante Salegrosso in Marciana Marina offers high-end, high-quality seafood dining on the seafront promenade. In Marina di Campo, Paglicce Beach serves seafood and casual fare right on the beach.

Getting to Elba

Unless you can afford to travel via chartered helicopter or private boat, the only way to get to Elba is by ferry. Torremar and Moby both offer numerous daily sailings to Portoferraio, Rio Marina and Cavo, with Portoferraio being the busiest port. Sailings from Piombino take about 40 minutes. You can bring a car aboard most ferries. Unless you plan to stay in one area and just hit the beach, a car is recommended on Elba—just be prepared for twisty roads with some hair-raising drops and often distracting views.

Specializzati in Viaggi Organizzati di gruppo

Sin dagli esordi la nostra specializzazione sono stati i viaggi organizzati del settore gruppi . La nostra programmazione gruppi è, di fatto, iniziata nel 1984 con l' Isola d'Elba e si è oggi ampliata fino a comprendere l'Isola del Giglio, la Toscana , dalla Versilia alla Maremma e le sue Città d'Arte, la Sardegna e la Corsica . Ci occupiamo con ottimi risultati dell'organizzazione di tour tematici , manifestazioni sportive , eventi ed escursioni . Dedichiamo particolare attenzione al turismo di gruppo , da quello scolastico a quello della terza età, per il quale, grazie alla nostra trentennale esperienza, abbiamo elaborato dei pacchetti turistici attentamente studiati ma oltremodo convenienti, nell'intento di offrire le migliori soluzioni a livello di comodità e affidabilità , assicurando sempre il giusto rapporto qualità prezzo. Crediamo, che la scelta di una proposta turistica non debba essere sempre determinata dal "prezzo più basso" , piuttosto dalla qualità dell'offerta e dalla garanzia di un'assistenza completa e tempestiva . La formula del nostro successo è amalgamare qualità dei servizi e competitività nei prezzi, saper capire le esigenze dei nostri clienti e "condurli" nei loro viaggi con professionalità e cortesia. Il nostro Reparto Gruppi non si limita unicamente a organizzare e gestire l'affluenza dei classici pullman di visitatori, ma studia e propone eventi e manifestazioni sportive al fine di incrementare le visite sulle destinazioni trattate. La più rappresentativa di queste manifestazioni è sicuramente il Giro Podistico dell'Elba , oramai giunto alla 30° edizione, che Napoleon ha da sempre pianificato e seguito con la massima cura; a questo evento principale nel corso del tempo se ne sono aggiunti molti altri tra i quali non si possono dimenticare La Festa Regionale del Pulcino (torneo di calcio FIGC categoria Pulcini) che conta circa 2000 partecipanti, la Marathon Bike Elba Ovest , i tornei di Mini-Rugby Trofeo Pesciolino , Calcio Femminile a 5 , Calcio Balilla , la Napoleon Cup valida per il Campionato Italiano di Motorally , gli Assoluti italiani di Enduro e altri vari eventi outdoor .
