“Disappointed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 7, 2011

We stayed a week. The hotel was very quiet and did not really have much atmosphere. Staff were helpful and the hotel was very clean. However the room was very small, and although we had a balcony, it overlooked a deserted building that was part building site. We also had a good view of the hotel washing lines. The hotel was only bed and breakfast and unfortunately the food was poor. Very basic, not even any fresh fruit as part of the continental. Honestly the worst breakfast menu we have ever had in a hotel.

Room Tip: Better not to have a balcony room

“Very nice friendly hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 25, 2011

We stayed a week at on of their small suites/apts. This is a clean organized well run hotel with very friendly staff. It is ver well priced and is walking distance to the beach in Marciana Marina (which is not a sandy beach but very nice otherwise) and about a 10 minute drive to sandy beaches in Procchio and Biodola. They accommodated our need to have breakfast in the apartment which is not part of their normal practice.

“A bit of a joke”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 24, 2011

Having read reviews of this hotel I can only say there are some creative writers out there.
My wife and I stayed as members of a tour. Our room with a balcony overlooked the car park was as good as it gets at this hotel, others were not so fortunate. Some rooms with and without balconies overlooked a deserted building the more 'fortunate' ones the hotels washing line.

This hotel only provides a meager breakfast although there was talk of a toasted cheese sandwich if you asked nicely. The rooms are small and basic some single rooms are best described as cells. The staff in the main were friendly and you could use the hotels laptop f.o.c. There is a good little pool with the usual seating around, a bar exists which is open sometimes or not - seemed to have a life of its own.

Rather a strange sort of hotel which is best described as a B&B with ? It's location - up a slope, becomes tiresome especially at night after a rip roaring - joke, down town.

One to forget I think

Room Tip: One with a balcony or any room overlooking the car park - not from the bathroom !

“Very comfortable hotel with garden and pool”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 12, 2011

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in july, and it is a very nice hotel some minutes walk up from the port in Marciana Marina. That means that the area was mostly residential and very quiet. Our room had balcony and windows on three sides, so it was aery with nice views. The staff was friendly and helpful, and we could park our car in a secure area just in front of the hotel. The breakfast was very good, and one might choose to have it indoors, under a roof in the hotel garden, or out on the lawn by the pool. Marciana Marina is a very nice little port on Elba, with lot of restaurants, beautiful sunset and the centre reserved for pedestrians in the evenings. We will certainly recommend both the town and this hotel to people going to Elba!

Room Tip: Top floor, corner room

“top quality”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 15, 2009

A top class Italianate villa hotel with charm , great staff, and very pleasant pool a modest climb of some 0.5 km from the town's centre, restaurants and beach promenade. This is a very good hotel which we could not fault. It has no restaurant although deals up an excellent breakfast. Gone are the days, it increasingly appears, of internet access with an in house computer. This hotel is now wired so one needs to supply your own PC. We felt the key to enjoying this relatively unspoilt small harbour town was not to join the crowds on the peeble beach but to bath in crystal clear warm water in exquisite privacy a few coves north of this harbour by hiring ,for a modest fee, a small runabout from Justin on the beach. Inspiring. Note ..there isa lesser starred 'Gabbiano' hotel 50 metres down the road.
