CAPO SANT'ANDREA ... A little paradise for a relaxing holiday
On the Island of Elba, an enchanted and still little known place. A corner of paradise dressed in the blue of the sea and the nuances of a Mediterranean maquis generous with flowers and perfumes.
The small Gulf of Sant'Andrea is a pearl in the wonderful Island of Elba. In the uncontaminated natural environment of the Natural Park of the Tuscan Archipelago, Sant'Andrea is a place known more than anything else to fans of fishing and scuba diving, but less to mass tourism. Actually, thanks to its 200 meters long sandy beach, Sant'Andrea is also ideal for families with small children, who can play in total safety.
In this stretch of coast, over the centuries the wind and the sea have forged the cliff in a unique way: on the right side of the beach is a path carved into the rock that leads to the smaller Cotoncello beach, almost a natural pool with the very low water. On the left side, however, the man has created a short but beautiful walk that, between rocks and wooden bridges, leads to the famous cliffs of Sant'Andrea, where the contrast between the spectacular granite and crystal rocks and the green sea makes the unique and precious sight.
In this corner of paradise the HOTEL BARSALINI*** welcomes you, just 20m from the golden sandy beach. Here kindness and charm are the basis of refined and elegant hospitality. For more than 50 years, in the hotel of the Barsalini family hospitality is expressed in fact in small details and in warm and welcoming environments, where you can feel at home.
The hotel is surrounded by lush greenery of jasmine, lavender, lemon and geraniums of all kinds, as well as a modern swimming pool and a new outdoor relaxation area with sea view - The Garden of Wellness - with hydrotherapy and Finnish sauna.
At lunch and dinner, the Barsa ... Time Bistro is waiting for you: the new restaurant by Davide and Eva Barsalini, which overlooks the beach with a magnificent terrace. Careful attention to every detail to make you enjoy traditional recipes, homemade pasta or tasty meat and fish dishes, as well as tasty pizzas and tasty stuffed crushed almonds.
Sant'Andrea is also equipped with a pier for docking small boats, two boat rentals, a windsurf school, a diving center, bazaar, bars and restaurants.
