What ElbaMyLove is

A whole island, in one place

Elba has plenty to offer, but it is scattered. A hotel has its own site, a restaurant a social page, and the beach you were looking for is known only to the people living two kilometres further on. First-time visitors end up spending half their holiday searching.

ElbaMyLove brings it together and keeps it current: places to stay, restaurants and wineries, sport and guided tours, shops, then the beaches one by one, the places worth visiting, events and itineraries. All of it in four languages, because on Elba a good share of the guests do not speak Italian.

I moved to Elba in 2014 and I had no idea where to find the things I needed. The island had no simple, fast way to bring together everything it offers. Andrea Fustaino
Who runs it

One person, not an anonymous newsroom

Founder and portal manager · AF Digital

Andrea Fustaino

Trained at IED in Milan, working in digital since 2003: websites, e-commerce, SEO, advertising. In 2014 he moved to Elba Island, where he lives and works. Since 2023 ElbaMyLove is entirely his, under AF Digital, the agency he runs for the island's tourism businesses.

For anyone reading the portal that means something concrete: the listings are not written by someone who has never set foot on Elba. Whoever decides what goes on the portal lives here, knows the businesses and puts his name to it.

How we got here

Ten years of island

ElbaMyLove was not born yesterday. The story in three steps.

  1. 2015

    ElbaMyLove is born

    The portal starts from the meeting between Andrea Fustaino, handling the web side, and Federica Berselli, already running the marina-di-campo.it portal, in charge of marketing and communication. The idea: to tell Elba differently from the usual shop windows.

  2. 2023

    The portal continues with AF Digital

    Federica Berselli moves on to other projects and Andrea carries the portal forward under AF Digital. The approach changes too: until then ElbaMyLove was mainly about giving visibility to businesses, from now on it becomes far more of a travel guide, with beaches, places to visit, itineraries and practical information alongside the listings.

  3. 2026

    The portal rebuilt from scratch

    New site, new structure, four real languages on every page and dedicated pages for beaches, places to visit and itineraries. It is not a finished job: the portal is updated continuously.

How we work

Three rules we do not bend

A tourism portal can work in many ways. We ruled some of them out, and it is worth saying why.

  • 01

    Zero commission on bookings

    The property pays a fixed annual fee, and that is the end of it: we keep no percentage on the stay, neither from you nor from them. What the portal earns does not change with how much or where you book, so we have no reason to push you towards one property rather than another.

  • 02

    No reviews of accommodation

    The web is full of hotel reviews and one more copy helps nobody. We would rather give verifiable information: where it is, what it actually offers, how to get there, who to call.

  • 03

    Direct contact with the properties

    Each property decides whether to publish its own rates and offers on its page; for the exact price on your dates you ask for a quote and the property answers you directly. The contact is direct: the booking, the terms and the payment are an agreement between you and the property — we put you in touch and stay out of the middle.

For businesses

If you run a business on Elba

The portal lives thanks to the businesses that are part of it. Joining means a full listing in four languages, a panel to update it yourself, statistics on visits and contacts received, and enquiries that come straight to you, with no commission.
