Find the perfect
place to stay for your
Elba holiday
Elba Island counts more than 100 accommodation facilities on record, spread across its seven municipalities, from the northern coast — with the fine-sand beaches of Biodola and Procchio — to the wilder southern coves of Capoliveri and Lacona. At ElbaMyLove we have selected and organised them to help you choose quickly and confidently.
Hotels
on Elba Island
“All-inclusive, no worries — the sea starts right outside your door”
Elba's hotels range from family-run properties, where hospitality still feels traditional, to resorts with spa and pool directly overlooking the sea. Most island hotels offer half-board — an ideal formula for those who want to discover the local cuisine (fresh fish, cacciucco, schiaccia briaca) without giving up the comfort of a meal ready when you return from the beach.
The largest concentration of hotels is along the coast of Marina di Campo, overlooking the island's widest gulf, and in the municipality of Portoferraio, ideal for those who want to explore Elba's history among the Medici forts, Napoleon's Villa dei Mulini and the harbour.
Camping
on Elba Island
“The scent of the pine forest in the morning, the sound of the sea at night”
Camping on Elba means an authentic experience in touch with the Mediterranean nature: maritime pines, strawberry tree and myrtle scrub, and the sea just a few steps away. Elba's campsites are not all alike: alongside classic pitches you'll find fully equipped bungalows, mobile homes with every comfort, and the increasingly popular glamping — luxury tents with double bed, private bathroom and outdoor deck, for those who want a real connection with nature without giving up comfort.
The campsites are mainly concentrated in the Lacona area (Capoliveri), in the pine forests of Biodola and Scaglieri (Portoferraio) and around Marina di Campo. Many of them have a private reserved beach, restaurant, supermarket and entertainment.
Apartments
on Elba Island
“Your home, a stone's throw from the sea — the freedom of a real holiday”
Apartments and holiday homes on Elba are the favourite choice of families, groups of friends and couples looking for maximum independence: their own kitchen, free schedule, space to live as if at home. The island has accommodation for every taste, from studios by the sea for couples to two-bedroom flats with private garden ideal for larger families.
The main advantage is economic: for stays of 1-2 weeks, a well-chosen apartment costs significantly less than a hotel at the same quality level, especially if you cook some of your meals. The most sought-after locations are Procchio, Biodola, Marina di Campo and the historic centre of Capoliveri.
Residences
on Elba Island
“The best of both worlds: the services of a hotel, the freedom of a home”
Residences are the hybrid solution par excellence: independent apartments with kitchen set within properties that offer typical hotel services such as reception, swimming pool, scheduled cleaning, laundry and luggage storage. Compared with private apartments, residences guarantee more consistent quality and ongoing support throughout your stay.
They're the ideal choice for families staying 2-3 weeks, for those who appreciate not having to deal with cleaning, and for anyone who prefers a fixed reference point on the island. Many Elba residences have a shared swimming pool and are located within a short walk of the sea.
Farm Stays
on Elba Island
“Vineyards, olive trees and quiet — and the sea never far away”
A farm stay on Elba is a working farm that takes in guests, not a hotel in the countryside: in Tuscany the law ties this kind of hospitality to genuine farming. You sleep in rooms or apartments carved out of old farmhouses, often with a garden and sometimes a pool, and when the farm serves breakfast or dinner its own produce reaches the table: wine, extra-virgin olive oil, honey, vegetables from the garden.
Farm stays sit behind the coast, among hills and valleys: in the countryside of Porto Azzurro and Capoliveri, on the hills of Portoferraio, on the slopes of Rio and at the foot of Monte Capanne in Marciana. The island is small and the sea is never far — sometimes within walking distance — but they mostly suit travellers who want quiet and space more than a seafront, and want to know the Elba that makes Aleatico and Ansonica wines.
Agencies
on Elba Island
“A wide selection of private properties, with professional support”
The real estate agencies specialised in holiday rentals on Elba manage the largest catalogue of private properties on the island: villas with garden and pool, sea-view apartments, country houses tucked into nature and historic homes in the medieval villages. Turning to an agency means being able to choose among dozens or hundreds of different properties, finding the exact match for your needs.
Elba's most established agencies have been operating on the island for decades and know every property in detail. They offer multilingual support (Italian, English, German, French), help you choose the most suitable area and guarantee professional management of contracts, keys and any issues during your stay.
