Holiday homes on Elba Island overlook turquoise ocean and immaculate beaches. The island is home to thousand year old traditions and recipes, yet a vibrant contemporary culture remains in this sequestered part of Italy.
At home with Napoleon
Head to the National Museum of Napoleonic Residences to learn more about Napoleon Bonaparte's period of exile on the island. The museum boasts frescoed rooms and personal accoutrements from his time on the island.
The official residence of Napoleon, the Villa dei Mulini, is close by. There you can pore over the books in his library and see the study room where he spent so much time. The garden features two stone statues of Minerva and a replica of the Galeta del Canova.
Exploring the archipelago
The Tuscan Archipelago National Park is the largest protected marine area in Italy. 17000 hectares of parkland are comprised of diverse habitats and seven different islands, of which Elba is just one. Fantastic adventures await in these islands. For instance, you can dive on the wreck of Costa Concordia, which struck a rock near Giglio Island in 2012.
Why not take a trip to Capraia where goats bleat on the rugged cliffs and the picture-perfect Fortress of San Giorgio overlooks the turquoise ocean. Don't miss the Church of Sant'Antonio which is unassuming yet exquisite.
Bacchanalian celebrations
Don't miss out on the wine festival in the ancient fishing village of Capoliveri. Blessed with panoramic views of the coastline the village celebrates 'Libero' every grape harvest. Constantly besieged by pirates, Saracens and colonial powers, the villagers were ever grateful for their harvest.
Every district celebrates in its own way. Some perform street plays, others with carnivals and beach parties, but seafood is at the heart of all. The winning district takes home a statue of Bacchus as part of a tradition that stretches back thousands of years.
