Home description
“Alberi” is a delightful apartment situated on the ground floor of a charming villa which enjoys a spectacular view of the Gulf of Mola, the mountains of Porto Azzurro, the picturesque old hilltop village of Capoliveri and the mainland. The apartment, surrounded by Mediterranean pines and vegetation, is away from traffic and ideal for couples or families. The spacious lounge has a double sofa-bed, television, writing desk, dining table and chairs. Large french doors lead to the pergola, complete with patio table and chairs, sunbeds and deck-chairs for guests to have meals "al fresco" or just overlooking the sea. The kitchen area has fitted cupboards and worktops, hob with cooker hood, refrigerator with freezer compartment, kettle and toaster. In addition, an iron, ironing board and hairdryer are provided for guests. Air conditioning is available on request. The main bedroom has a double bed, fitted wardrobe and bedside tables with lamps. French windows lead on to the patio with view of the sea and surrounding countryside. The second bedroom has twin beds or, on request, a double bed. The tastefully tiled bathroom is fully equipped with a large shower cubicle, WC, bidet, bathroom cabinet and wash basin with illuminated mirror. Garden facilities include table and chairs, loungers, deck-chairs, barbecue and a solar-powered outside shower. The beautiful sandy beach of Lido di Capoliveri (within walking distance of the apartment - 650 m), has several bars, restaurants and pizza bars where you can take a rest from sunbathing and swimming and enjoy a meal of tasty sea-food, genuine lasagne, a superb pizza or a glass of Elba's white wine. The beach also caters for a variety of water-sports. A mini-market at one end of the beach will supply all your day-to-day needs (anything from postcards and beach-balls to freshly roasted chicken) and if you want some evening entertainment, try taking a stroll in one of the harbour towns, enjoying a delicious Italian ice-cream whilst looking at the beautiful yachts moored in the harbour. And if you do decide to come without a car, you can always count on a taxi to bring you home to a welcoming well-lit patio where you can enjoy a cool evening drink overlooking the pretty lights in the village below.

The Tuscany region
The Isle of Elba is the biggest of the seven islands in the Tuscan archipelago (most of which now enjoys National Park protected status) and only 10 km from Piombino harbour on the mainland. It is renowned for being the greenest island in the Mediterranean, covering an area of 223 sq. km., with spectacular mountains alternating with woodland areas, hills covered with typical Mediterranean vegetation sloping down to crystal clear sea and a few vineyards which produce the famous “Elba Bianco” wine. In short, a paradise not only for nature lovers and sun-bathers, but also for horse riders, mountain bikers and hikers who can explore the mountain trails and even climb the island’s highest peak (Mt. Capanne, 1018 metres). For the less energetic a cable car take you to the top in the summer months.
There are many places to visit on the island, including the Summer and Winter residences of Napoleon Bonaparte, where he was exiled in 1814, the remains of an ancient Roman villa and traces left by the Etruscans, Romans and, Normans and Saracen invasions in various parts of the island. Elba is also renowned for its variety of minerals and a visit to the old mines at Capoliveri, Rio Marina and Porto Azzurro is recommended.
Many visitors like to combine a holiday on the Island with a few days sightseeing in Florence (only about two hours from Piombino), Pisa or Siena, Lucca or the Garfagnana.
Island of Elba / Capoliveri area
The quaint little hilltop town of Capoliveri (only 2 km from the apartment) is a hive of activity in the summer months, particularly in the evening, and well worth a visit. It is perhaps one of the most spectacular and characteristic spots on the whole island, offering views over the rest of the island, Corsica, the islands of Montecristo and Pianosa and the mainland. And if you want to visit any of these islands, why not take advantage of the many boat trips which will take you there and back in just one day, some of which offer fantastic views of underwater flor and fauna in their glass-bottom boats.
And, if you are feeling more adventurous, try an hour or so at the Diving Centre on Capoliveri beach which organizes short "expeditions"
On 14 July, Capoliveri celebrates the “Festa dell’Innamorata”, one of the Island’s most fascinating legends which recounts the sad story of two young lovers. In the first decade of May, the “Festa del Cavatore” (Miner’s Festival) is held in honour of the island’s ancient mining traditions, while on the last Sunday in September, the annual Wine Festival is held, when the town’s “rioni” (districts) re-propose the historical setting for old peasant traditions and challenge each other in creating outstanding choreographies, all centred around the main harvest theme. A prize is awarded to the best reconstruction. Porto Azzurro, only 3 km away, is a delightful old fishing village, that is now a harbour and fashionable resort, where there is plenty of nightlife.
Car advisable.
How to get there
British Airways, Alitalia, Ryanair, Easyjet and many others all operate regular flights to Pisa and Rome Airports from the UK and various other European countries. From the airport it is possible to hire a car from one of the major hire-car companies (www.europcar.com – www.hertz.com – www. avis.com – www.maggiore.com)
From Pisa or Rome. it is just a straight drive along the motorway and "superstrada" (dual carriageway) to Piombino harbour.
Alternatively, it is possible to take a train from Pisa or Rome to Piombino Marittima harbour. There is a frequent and very efficient ferry service (as many as 50 crossings a day in the high season) to the island ports of Portoferraio and Porto Azzurro. The crossing takes approx. 1 hour. If you prefer to hire a car on your arrival on the island, the owner will be pleased to provide further information on request.
It is also possible to from Pisa airport to Marina di Campo airport on the island.

Guestbook for "Alberi" Villa
“Just a line to say how much we enjoyed our fantastic holiday on Elba. The kids never stop talking about it – especially the marvellous pizza we had at Giuseppe’s in Porto Azzurro. One thing I must add – the photos of your property do not do it justice – it is ten times better than we expected.” G.G.
“We had a super holiday – the apartment was just perfect - much better than described and the view quite spectacular. Beach facilities couldn’t have been better and we had a lovely time exploring Capoliveri and Porto Azzurro in the evenings. We’ll be back again next year.” Jean and Ian
“I’m finding it difficult to describe the fantastic view from your apartment to my friends and even the photos I took don’t help! I’ve told them to go and take a look for themselves next year! Seriously, we enjoyed your lovely apartment and really envy you. And by the way, thank you for all your help.” Carol and May.
“Once again, many thanks for all your help. The apartment was excellent and we enjoyed all the beaches around Capoliveri. We had great fun with the diving school taking underwater photographs. My wife and I hope to return next year, this time with our son.” Mr. F
