Hotel La Primula is a three star hotel and that is a pretty well defined category in Italy and my review is written with this in mind, I'll compare mostly to other hotels with three stars as is prudent. Elba is a small island so location is not as important as in other places in Italy, however it is without... More

We have visited this hotel many times and each time we return it is even better. We had a newly refurbished room which was to a very high standard. The staff in all areas are so friendly and helpful, good English speaking staff on reception. The restaurant serves a varied menu, something for everyone, there is a wonderful atmosphere at... More

We stayed 2 nights at Hotel La Primula. The bus stopped directly in front of the hotel...a plus and it is only a couple blocks to the ocean. It's very nicely located to everything. We were greeted by the front desk so warmly and shown to our room which was immaculately clean and well appointed. Yes, it was small but... More

Wow, we had such a great stay here! We stayed for 5 nights in June 2011 and really enjoyed ourselves. The plants and trees are so nice and the Hotel has lots of outside seating for relaxing and eating breakfast when the weather is good. When trying to find a good hotel on Elba that was accessible by public transport... More

Very near centre of town and restaurants, parking nearby and beach short stroll away. Beach 5 mins walk. Breakfast can be a bit of a cattle herd but overall ok - expensive at peak times but seems to be the way on ELBA. hint try and teak the ferry not on Friday to Sunday as more expensive!

Perfektly situated in the beutiful village Marciana Marina. The room was not so big, but they where very clean and comfortable. We will come back!

Spotless throughout. Pool looked fab but we were always going somewhere else. Park at hotel while checking in then have to move to other parking spot. Breakfast was really surprising We were delighted when we saw scrambled eggs rasher and sausage. Very unusual in Italy but very welcoming. Also lovely custard filled pastries for breakfast. Best hotel breakfast in Italy.... More

We spent one week at the Hotel La Primula, two adults and one small child. The hotel was perfect and we hope to return soon. The hotel is set in the center of the small town of Marciana Marina, which is a true italian dream, and is within walking distance to many really nice restaurants and beaches. The hotel it... More
