We stayed at this resort just before the season, in April. So it wasn't very busy but we could see the hard work going into the preparation of the beautiful pools and beach. The location is more or less perfect in an island of exceptional beauty. All was well kept and spruce, as were the very Italian public rooms. Our... More

THis was our fourth stay in five years so we are confessed addicts. The hotel is wallet-meltingly expensive but represents value all the same. The location is superb on Elba's best sandy beach, the facilities - four pools and an out door jacuzzi, private beach, tennis football gym etc etc - are impressive. The food is excellent throughout the resort... More

This is a great hotel! I'm a frequent 5 star hotel, hard to satisfy, but I found the Hermitage very close to perfection. Real 5 star service, amazing pools and beach, great children and sporting facilities, perfect staff. Dining restaurant is to die for: every evening there was an ala carte 3 courses menu (for every course there was a... More

This is a great hotel for families. It maybe isn't a five star hotel in the strict sense but it's fabulous location, great facilities and marvellous food complete with a relaxed attitude to families mean that this shouldn't really bother you. The waterspouts, tennis and pool facilities are very good. The Saturday night BBQ buffet is to behold.

Whole hotel needs redecorating - it looks tired. Rooms were basic and uncomfortable and in bad need of updating and redesigning. Bathrooms were utilitarian with cracked tiles, mouldy grouting, no bath and minimal storage. Lack of communal areas if there's bad weather (we had a few days of rain). Service is variable. Food is good but the three restaurants all... More

I've been going to this hotel for the past 30 something years... and every year, it's gotten better, better, and better... the service is exceptional and no need to mention that since you are in Tuscany, the food is as well... Charming place... let the kids play and relax by the sea, in a jacuzzi or at the pool bar...... More

Our third trip here and if I keep my job - it is not cheap - certainly not the last. The location on the beach looking across the bay at Biodola is beautiful. The facilities are excellent with five pools, private beach, watersports, gym etc. The service is both vey friendly and very efficient and the food is excellent. The... More

Beautiful location on Biodola Bay. Excellent facilities. Five pools (salt water) with many deck chairs, private beach with chaises and umbrellas, several tennis courts, golf course. Motor boat and pedalo rentals. Pool bar. Beautifully landscaped. Covered parking. 3km walking trail behind the hotel through the woods and the cliffs along the water. We were there mid-September. Not crowded. Many couples... More

We've been to Hermitage in the begining of September-best time to go! Weather was excellent, not so much people. We spend great time. I was afraid going to this hotel after reading negative reviews, but it for nothing. Room was very nice, clean...not luxurious but very comfortable...with realy beautiful seaview. Territory of the hotel is very big and green...several tennis... More
