THE ISLAND OF ELBA

A magical island

In terms of size, Elba is the third largest of the Italian islands and the largest in the Tuscan Archipelago. Ferries and hydrofoils provide numerous daily connections, covering the 10 kilometres from the mainland in about an hour.

Despite having a coastline of only 147 kilometres, the island has a mild climate and numerous different landscapes: romantic fishing villages, hilltop villages, ancient castles, green valleys and enchanting inlets are intertwined with sand and gravel beaches.

In just a few minutes, the landscape can change from steep cliffs towering over the crystalline sea to the granite mass of Monte Capanne and its 1,019 metre peak.

The numerous historical and cultural sites on the island and its extraordinary natural beauty make it a magical setting unique in the world.
