Hotel on Elba, accommodation in Capoliveri

Hotel S. Petronilla, Capoliveri, Elba

A charming hotel on the Italian isle of Elba, the Hotel S. Petronilla is in Capoliveri, in the south-east of the island. Capoliveri is a picturesque and unspoiled old village sitting atop a hill. From here, you have amazing panoramic views down onto the bay at Porto Azzuro. The hotel sits just 200 metres from the centre of the village: the narrow lanes, little shops and the lovely Piazza Matteotti are all within walking distance.

And with coastline on three sides, you are never far away from the sea. Within a 1.5km to 3km radius you have easy access to a number of bays and sandy beaches. The Albergo San Petronilla is a comfortable, small hotel, with just four double rooms (all with bathroom, fridge and television). There is a one-room apartment and three two-room apartments (all with kitchenette, TV and bathroom), All of the rooms at this Elba hotel either have their own private terrace or access to a terrace.

Elba itself is a delight. Legend has it that Venus, the goddess of love, came out of the sea on the coast of Tuscany. She dropped seven jewels from her crown, and these became the seven isles of the Tuscan archipelago - the biggest of these being Elba. These are beautiful islands, now protected under the auspices of the National Park of the Tuscan Archipelago. Elba has a varied landscape of ancient forests of cork, oak and chestnut, lush green valleys and high barren mountaintops, Mediterranean maquis, rugged rocky coastlines and sandy beaches. A vacation on Elba combines mountain and beach, lovely villages and beautiful countryside.
