Portoferraio hotel, island of Elba

Hotel Fabricia, Portoferraio, Elba

A four-star hotel on the beautiful gulf of Portoferraio, this accommodation on the Italian island of Elba has an atmosphere of understated charm and typically Tuscan hospitality.

The building evokes nothing so much as a large Tuscan villa deep in the countryside, surrounded by olive trees and lush Mediterranean vegetation. Beyond the grounds and gardens lie green fields, and the property reaches down to the sea. Here, an 18th century wall, which once protected the vineyards and olive groves from the brackish sea winds, now stands as the boundary of the beach. The hotel lies in an environmentally protected area on the northern coast of Elba, and has been a consistent recipient of an award given to hotels which display 'commitment to environmental protection'; much of this beautiful island is under the auspices of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park.

Guests at this Elba hotel can enjoy the private beach, with superb views over Portoferraio Bay. The beach has a wooden dock for small boats, loungers, umbrellas and showers. There is a seawater swimming pool and large outdoor Jacuzzi here. Most of the rooms have private balconies or independent private access to the hotel grounds. All rooms are air conditioned, have refrigerated minibar, telephone, TV and hairdryer, bathroom with shower and toilet. Breakfast is included. Facilities at the hotel include an all-weather tennis court, bar and restaurant, free parking, family rooms and play areas, table tennis, sunbed, Jacuzzi, massage facilities and there is a nine-hole golf course nearby.
