Hotel on Elba, close to Montefico

Hotel Etrusco, Rio Marina, Elba

The Hotel Etrusco is on the beautiful, natural and unspoiled countryside on the eastern coast of the Isle of Elba (Isola d'Elba), just 1.5km from the pretty village of Rio Marina. The hotel is immersed deep in the Mediterranean shrub, looking down onto the green vastness of the wooded Montefico valley. A peaceful and quiet location, and one in balance with nature and wildlife ... the perfect place to relax on Elba.

Rooms here are simply but very nicely furnished - this is classic simple Tuscan style. All have private bathrooms with tub or shower, and come with heating for the cooler months. Some of the first-floor rooms have balconies, giving superb views onto the woods of Montefico. Away from the main building of the hotel, there is a selection of mini-suites, which have their own terraces and/or gardens.

This Elba hotel has a bar, a common reading room with satellite television, a restaurant and private parking. There is a secure service for guests' valuables and fax service. There is plenty of open space outside for guests to relax, read, or simply take the Tuscan sun - a choice of balconies, terraces and sun decks. In the summer, you can take dinner outside, with a menu of traditional fish dishes served under candlelight. The hotel also organises trips to the old towns, the traditional fisherman's villages, the ancient castles and the beautiful natural sites that make up the heart and soul of Elba.
