Bike Eco Hotel Montemerlo – Sustainable Hospitality in Fetovaia, Elba Island

“I am myself plus my environment, and if I do not preserve the latter, I do not preserve myself.”
– José Ortega y Gasset

Elba Island is a place of rare beauty. Living and working here is a privilege that comes with responsibility. Our commitment to sustainability began years ago: today, Bike Eco Hotel Montemerlo uses 100% renewable energy, is affiliated with Legambiente Turismo, and has proudly held the European Ecolabel certification since 2013.

We’ve earned several awards, including the National Ecolabel EU First Prize in 2015 and recognition as one of the top 7 eco-hotels in Italy. As a certified Bike Hotel, we continue to grow with passion and invite you to join us in our journey of green hospitality. 

Fetovaia – The Green Heart of the Costa del Sole

Just 500 meters from Fetovaia beach, one of the most stunning beaches on Elba, the hotel enjoys a privileged location. The bay is protected by a lush green promontory, while the fine white granite sand and crystal-clear waters make it a perfect spot for swimming and relaxing.

A Family Tradition Since 1971

The Palmieri family has managed the hotel with love and dedication for over 50 years. The complex includes four buildings surrounded by nature, forming a peaceful village-like atmosphere. At its heart is a lush Mediterranean garden with palms, banana trees, a beautiful pool, shaded wooden patios, and a cozy Eco hot tub, perfect for children.

Rooms

All rooms are located on the ground or first floor with direct garden access. Modern, fresh décor combined with today’s comforts. Options include single, double, and family rooms for 3 or 4 guests, with Easy or Comfort categories available.

Restaurant

Inside the main building, Villa Montemerlo, you’ll find our restaurant led by chefs Dario and Simone. Our menus feature traditional Elban and Tuscan dishes along with Italian and international recipes. At lunch, guests can enjoy our garden snack menu with fresh salads and sandwiches served tray-style outdoors.

The Pool

Our eco-friendly pool uses a Bayrol Autopilot system to naturally produce chlorine from salt, minimizing strong odors and irritations. It’s safe for children and eliminates dry skin, discolored swimsuits, and red eyes.
