Elba Island Hotels

While Napoleon may have had perfectly legitimate reasons to depart his haven of excommunication, contemporary travellers also have perfectly legitimate reasons to want to visit Elba. The island between Corsica and Tuscany in the Tyrrhenian and Ligurian seas of the Mediterranean is a gem. Home to about 30,000 people, Elba’s population swells way beyond that number throughout the busy summer tourist season. The island is the last trace of land connection between Corsica and mainland Italy and as such, has a singular topography. Elba is part of the superb Arcipelago Toscano National Park and rolls out excellent landmarks like the Museo Civico Archeologico Fortezza Medicea, Museo Nazionale delle Residenze Napoleoniche (Napoleon House), and a significant ensemble of heritage villas.
