third biggest island in Italy
The island of Elba is a land of endless horizons, washed by crystal-clear waters and surrounded by golden beaches, a green oasis in the Tuscan Archipelago, with granite rocks. Elba is a sun-blessed island.
We can say it's a slice of heaven on earth, with nothing to envy from more exotic Caribbean destinations. What truly sets Elba apart are its beautiful beaches and the clear, blue sea. The extraordinary richness of its landscapes, both on land and at sea, makes Elba a unique destination in Tuscany.
The national park is one of the most touristic spots on Elba; it consists mostly of water, but a portion of land also belongs to it.
Elba's most famous and highest mountain is Monte Capanne, rising more than 1000 meters above the Mediterranean Sea and accessible via a cable car.
Besides, it is also a wonderful place for sports activities like diving, snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, golfing, cycling, and sailing!
Elba rewards you with a variety of aspects all in one: the beaches and cliffs, the winds, the land, the scents, the flavors, the hardworking people, the mountain villages, and the sea-view terraces.
As we visit the island, various memories of its glorious past come alive, from archaeological findings in museums to impressive forts and military structures like Castello del Volterraio, and then on to the splendid 19th-century Napoleonic residences, such as Palazzina dei Mulini.
