Portoferraio hoteles

Ventajas: Great location, beautiful views, good beach, pristine water, lovely friendly staff, great swimming pools, good food in the restaurants. Awesome swimming teacher, Andrea. The breakfast was good for Italy. Nothing was too much bother.

Desventajas: The rooms needs a bit of a revamp. The bathrooms and walk in wardrobes were v small for the price compared to other top notch hotels we have stayed at around the world. Also a Nespresso machine and tea making facilities as a standard feature would be nice and maybe a welcome drink/snack/fruit/chocs etc.... When you are paying 1000 euros a night for a family room, expectations are high. The hotel had the feel of slightly faded glory. The first time we ordered room service, they brought us sachets of oil, vinegar, salt and pepper instead of bottles and mills. Not good enough for a 5 star hotel. To be fair they didn’t make that mistake twice.... They also need parasols on the sun beds around the pools, so you can watch your kids in the shade.... 14 euros for an apérol spritz....

Ventajas: Location and views were incredible

Desventajas: I liked everything

Ventajas: Location, the food, the service was excellent

Desventajas: The beach was not very clean

Ventajas: The location of this hotel is so beautiful. Even though we only paid for a garden view room, they upgraded us to a sea view for no cost. The staff is all bi-lingual and very friendly - we especially found the waitstaff to be great. Carlos at Reception was exceptional - he got us a taxi from the ferry and was very helpful. The room was lovely and comfortable, my only quibble was that there was no iron and the hair dryer was very poor quality. But when you are staying a t beach who really cares! The beach and a pool were exceptional. My mom and I spent the whole day gassing out at the amazing views and had a delicious lunch at the swim up bar in the pool. It was exactly the R&R we were looking for. The food at any of the restaurants at the resort was delicious - including the breakfast. The last night we ate at the main dining hall as everything else was closed for dinner, and while we grumbled a little about having to get dressed up, the food was worth it! We did the pre-fix menu with the salad and dessert buffet, and it is well worth the money. We had a grand time and savored every bite. The last thing I will say is that although the restaurants are great, be forewarned that there are no other places to eat outside the resort if you don't have a car. The resort is on the other side of the mountain so you can't get back to Portoferrio without a taxi, and we didn't want to pay $25 euros for a cheaper meal. But other than that it is exceptional!

Desventajas: The resort is very secluded so don't expect to go elsewhere once you get there if you don't have a car. I would have liked more casual beachfront options for dinner and a little downtown to do shopping.

Ventajas: The view, the restaurant & the BBQ! Very clean.

Ventajas: Exceptional hotel, staff and location. Couldn't ask for more. First class

Desventajas: n/a

Ventajas: Beach area is fantastic. Amazing location. Really relaxing vibe to the hotel. We had the 4 course dinner in the restaurant which we thought was fantastic!

Desventajas: No tea/coffee facilities in the room would expect a nespresso machine which is pretty standard these days. Although we had some very good service, especially in the evening restaurants! We dined at both. I would say the staff give off an unfriendly vibe in general. Could have more people by the beach. 1 server for the whole beach is quite poor. Travelling in September a lot of close by restaurants were closed for the season.

Ventajas: Superb amenities and location. Excellent staff + service, superb.

Desventajas: Bathroom not great. Terrible closing loo seats. Should be soft close for 5 star hotel. Silicone around Bath.. poor. Tired paintwork around doors. Otherwise perfect + very clean. Lack of privacy between balconies on bedroom terrace.

Ventajas: Nice hotel,nice location but living on it's reputation. Needs to be improved in certain areas such as restaurant options that are not all expensive.

Ventajas: wonderful hidden location! in the middle of nature with stunning view on portoferraio bay. Very beautiful terrace, cosily furnished, beautiful well kept Garden. I've had a single room, with own bathroom, which was small but absolutely sufficient for my purpose. Breakfast was very good. I certainly can recommend the hotel and I myself will stay there again, for sure...

Desventajas: ---

Ventajas: Great location, great service, possibility of dining at the resturant (high value for money), very kind staff.

Desventajas: Proximity of our room to the kitchen (a bit noisy in the morning).

Ventajas: Spectacular view, kind staff, comfortable room, great breakfast

Desventajas: Dinner was very-very basic

Ventajas: Everything was wonderful! Breakfasts and dinners were delicious. The grounds and the view were fantastic. Accommodations were great. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay.

Ventajas: Beautiful bay views. Allocated beach beds.

Desventajas: For us the stay was ruined by our initial welcome (or lack of it!) we arrived around 7pm after a days travelling to be told we couldn’t eat in their restaurant as my partner didn’t have long trousers! This was not stated on their website nor were we warned about this prior to our stay and was the reason we Initially chose this hotel over Hermitage. We were offered toast in room service! This meant every evening we had to walk to the nearest restaurant (which were just as miserable and poor food) or drive out - which we happily did just to get away from the uncomfortable atmosphere at this hotel! The rooms were small, hard beds and flat pillows. Breakfast was good food but ruined by the amount of wasps around. Not one member of staff made us feel welcome. Completely up their own arses! Also the resort is quite restrictive, not much to do. Having visited other bits of the island there are far nicer places to stay.

Ventajas: The beach is wonderful - the sea is pristine. The restaurant on site is excellent, food was delicious, which was good as there are limited options nearby if you wanted to eat out in the evening.

Desventajas: There were a few things that didn't work well at the hotel. There were a lot of wasps in the outside area during breakfast which surely could be dealt with by exterminators, the hotel charges 3EUR for a small bottle of water in the room and there are no tea/coffee facilities to use as an alternative. I would've also appreciated use of an iron. There was a 1EUR charge for towels at the beach. I found the bar and restaurant staff excellent however the reception staff were quite dismissive at times and didn't provide us with much attention (we would've appreciated more tips of things to do whilst in Elba and a smile/greeting when passing by). The jacuzzi - in the brochure as being heated - was freezing cold. A car is a must for Elba unless you are happy to spend time at the same beach each day.

Ventajas: Lovely staff. The most beautiful location I've ever seen. The beach was clean and glorious with your own sun loungers, towels provided. Very relaxed atmosphere

Desventajas: There could have been more information in the room regarding food. Dinner especially. A menu would have been nice and alternatives if you did not want anything too formal. Some bathrobes would have been nice too,

Ventajas: Very friendly staff Good location Great Beach Food was very good

Desventajas: Service was quite slow and at dinner we were never offered dessert or coffee etc Suddenly all staff had disappeared

Ventajas: Limpieza comodidad y atencion del persobal

Desventajas: Todo impecable

Ventajas: The property in general was fine. Staff seemed kind and the room was clean. Breakfast buffet was ok, not extra rich though. Sea is nice, clean. Having a private beach is also an advantage.

Desventajas: The main problem was the location of the hotel. We had b&b in order to experience the local food at the restaurants nearby. But, forget about it. There are around 5 restaurants at the Biodola bay and none of them are good. You have to drive to the city center/or other bays but we didn’t have a car and the last bus to turn back to hotel was only at 19:30. It’s not possible to walk since it’s really hilly. Additionally, the hotel has interesting regulations. It was not possible to enter to the swimming pool before 9:00 and after 19:00. It’s really early!!! The sun was shining! It also happened several times that they cleaned the room with “do not disturb” sign. Also, keep in mind that you need to pay for the towels at the beach. Only the umbrealla and sun beds are included in the hotel price.

Desventajas: The bird tapping on my window in the morning

Ventajas: Location and food was fantastic. The beach beautiful and the chairs they provided free with umbrella were very comfortable. The views were unbelievable.

Desventajas: Hotel should provide towel rack. Customers were placing their towels over the railings. It really took way of the beauty of the hotel.

Ventajas: the peaceful locations and gardens

Desventajas: nothing

Ventajas: Only positives about the hotel is excellent breakfast, nice garden and pool. But more negative points.

Desventajas: Check inn unfriendly, not at all accommodating, during the day time the different receptionist was friendlier so was night receptionist. Room even tough the only one with a side view of the sea was very small could not even bring in a suitcase.2 single beds of 60/180 was very unconfortable. stayed 3 nights with the same sheets, towels were tea towels couldn't dry properly out of the shower, had to bring or buy your own pool towels.Indeed a 2 star hotel. This should be noted in the brochure. Due to next door construction works , were not able to have a sleep inn they started at 07.00, with heavy machinery. windows had to be open for air, while no aircon,( i know not normal for 2 -3 * hotels) but october has fresh nights, still need the window open. impossible for the summer with over 37C temp. Was stated 3 star hotel but at the hotel it showed 2 star. Stated also in publicity 3 min. walk from the beach, but didn't say that beach was a non-usable beach, rubbish, everywhere, broken boats, area where beach is not cleaned up. also not possible for walking. Area was the wine area and more agriculture then facilities expected . For this and being october price was to high in consideration other 4 star hotels in the area. Will definitely not return.

Ventajas: The pool and the gardens were lovely. The breakfast wasn’t very good as was the dinner.

Desventajas: The bathroom had an odour

Ventajas: Nada

Desventajas: La ubicacion, la habitacion. Salvo el desayuno que es aceptable no me gusto nada.

Ventajas: Location is everything, right? The hotel is located perfectly and the view of the bay from the pool and the villa is beautiful. The hours before dinner (8pm) are best spent on the terrace of the villa with a drink from the bar. The staff is very friendly and relaxed, but the hierarchy around the dinner table is old fashioned and it was very frustratring some times for us with small children.

Desventajas: Hotel Villa Ottone boasts with 5 stars when you enter the property. Spending a week at the hotel, you have to wonder exactly when in time these 5 stars was achieved? The location is wonderful, but the hotel was built in the 80s and the 90s and the rooms are not up to date. We traveled with small kids (3 yrs and 6 months) and between 3pm and 8pm the two restaurants was closed and you couldn't buy any food at all, which was very annoying. There is no shop at the hotel, and compared to many other hotels they don't even offer complimentary water bottles in your room. The playground at the premise was dusty and dirty, the swings and toys where broken. It was depressing. The main restaurant has a nice selection of food and felt very generous with free salad and dessert buffet. But the service is very old fashioned and the hierarchy among the staff is affecting the customer. A more modern hotel is user-centered, the person who shows you to the table is also the person who can take care of everything else. But at Otttone, there was one person showing you to the table. Another one came just to ask about water, then a third person came to ask about wine. Then wait 20 minutes before a fourth person took orders for food. It was a service stuck in the 80s. Having that said, the hotel has a faded, nostalgic charm to it as well. The staff is friendly and charming. The crowd is mostly 55+ and it feels like there are many guests returning year after year. Having a coffee and a croissant after a swim in the salt water pool makes you forget everything else. Will we return? Probably. But the management should make Ottone a more modern an convincing hotel experience.

Ventajas: The location was perfect.

Desventajas: We were travelling with an infant so the evening meal times were a little inconvenient for us.

Ventajas: The staff at the hotel were the absolute best staff I have ever interacted with over my years of travel. Warm, welcoming, professional, accommodating and absolutely wonderful. I cannot stress enough how fantastic the staff at Villa Ottone were. They made our stay really special.

Desventajas: The air conditioning was not on (may be due to the time of year). While our first two nights were comfortable, the third night the room was a bit warm. The beds were also a bit firm for our taste.

Ventajas: Location and Bar

Desventajas: Offered a ridiculously small room, then moved to a tired and dirty room that was marginally bigger. NOT 5 Star - maybe 3.

Ventajas: Villa Ottone is located right on the coast and provides beautiful views of the sea and nearby Portoferraio. Surrounded by garden it also has outdoor pool and tennis court. Nice room and perfect breakfast is also an asset.

Ventajas: Fantastic location with great pool and beach facilities. The rooms in the main building are good and ‘standard’ hotel rooms however the rooms (we stayed in 11) in the Villa are excellent. The hotel moved us from a room in the main building to a room in the Villa with a fantastic sea view. The bar in the Villa is perfect for watching the sunset.

Desventajas: My only gripe is that the restaurant lacked atmosphere and the food was very average. We ate one night at the hotel but on our second night we drove to Marciana Marina and had an excellent meal in a restaurant overlooking the harbour. My wife described the restaurant as being ‘pretentious without the substance to be pretentious’. That said I loved this hotel and would return.

Ventajas: La cordialidad del personal, los espacios comunes y el desayuno!

Desventajas: La habitación tiene muchos elementos (escritorio y mesa grande) para poco espacio, igual todo bien ubicado y con buen gusto!. La playa podrían limpiarla más y reservar un espacio para No Fumadores!!

Ventajas: Everything

Ventajas: We loved the service and staff they were all fantastic

Ventajas: Very nice hotel! Super friendly staff! Very good room service Amazing cocktail bar with an amazing view 2 restaurants available(at the pool and in the garden) - very good food and good service! Private beach!! All in all an amazing journey!!

Ventajas: Ideally located, surrounding by nature, very calm with a astonishing view on sea over Portoferraio. It is perfect if you fancy a break from city life and if you have young children. Having a drink at night at the bar watching the sunset with Jazzy-lounge music is a must. The staff is globally friendly and caring.

Desventajas: A bit of desorganisation sometimes. Car was booked through the concierge by email but could not find our booking. One of the restaurant of the hotel was booked one evening but the manager could find us...

Ventajas: Hermoso lugar , en un ambiente fantastico y bello Delicioso desayuno Un atento y simpatico personal Muy bien ubicado

Desventajas: La sala de gym es muy mala La cama doble , son dos camas juntas y la TV es pequeña No hay room service Es todo muy bello pero creo q reposan demasiado en el entorno , falta un refresh para tener denominacion de 5 estrellas

Ventajas: The location, sea food, sunsets

Ventajas: Superb view and location

Ventajas: Excellent location of the hotel in a quiet bay, on the first line, comfortable room with sea view, helpfull staff, good and diverse cuisine. In order to see all the sights of the island you need a car (free parking).

Ventajas: La tranquilidad. la ubicacion y el personal muy amable

Ventajas: Very friendly staff in the reception, easy to park just outside for free, good breakfast, very clean. The second room we stayed in (top floor with a sea view) was much nicer than the first: it seemed recently refurbished and the bed was comfortable, and the view from the balcony was fantastic. Nice pool.

Desventajas: Noise from other rooms was easily heard. The service in the restaurant was not very good. We stayed in two different rooms, the first (bottom floor) had an uncomfortable bed and was rather worn out. The private beach was not worth going to (especially not when there are so many nice beaches close by).

Ventajas: Estupendos días en el hotel Mare, muy buena ubicación para conocer la preciosa Isla de Elba. Desayuno muy bueno y cena riquísima, con unas vistas de lujo, nos encantó el entorno! Personal amable y atentos en todo momento. Muy recomendable.

Desventajas: No poderme quedar más dias

Ventajas: location is amazing! The view is great , sunset was beautiful. Free parking around . So quiet around. The breakfast was nice and staff was so kind. The room was clean and tidy.

Desventajas: Housekeeper was starting to clean the rooms so early around 8.30-9 am ... so was difficult to sleep well , unfortunately the walls are very thin and everything is audible.

Ventajas: The hotel was good and very clean. The staff were all very helpful and polite. The only downside is that it's an expensive taxi ride to the town if you want to head out in the evening. Although saying that, they run taxi boat's in the day time. Overall had a very good stay and there was some lovely beaches close by if you fancy a decent bike ride.

Ventajas: Great staff Private beach! The hotel restaurant was amazing The room was really quiet and fresh

Ventajas: Elba is wonderful location for discovering. Average hotel with an above average price. Personal is ok and friendly.

Desventajas: The hotel's beach can not be used for swimming. Is not clean. Breakfast is just average without fantasy. No vegetables, tomatoes, olives. In Italy is normal ? I think.

Ventajas: breakfast is plentiful, and dinner is great too. the location is breathtakingly beautiful and very quiet (when the sailing course is taking a break, that is...)

Desventajas: perhaps the private beach could be a little nearer

Ventajas: Amazing family atmosphere, wonderful cuisine, perfect location and lovely staff. Loved it!

Ventajas: Above all I liked the perfect location close to the sea and the very friendly and good staff. Also the hotels pools were nice.

Desventajas: No

Ventajas: Lovely swimming pool which was pretty quiet during the day as everyone seemed to go out on day trips. We had a big balcony at the far side at the top so it was quiet and we had a great view. Nice restaurant but book your table during the day for the evening.

Desventajas: Last boat from Portoferraio was 6.30pm. There was only one restaurant in Maggazini which belonged to the hotel so no choice but the restaurant was lovely and had great live music one evening. Rooms are very basic so it was expensive for what you got.

Desventajas: the food

Ventajas: Very nice staff, gorgeous location, decent to excellent food, clean rooms, value for money, peace and quiet, a pleasant pool with lots of loungers, and some enchanting ducksin the yacht harbour who liked to dine with us - the restaurant is on the quayside. They were all drakes, except for one female who turned up one day with three ducklings. There were also two quite seperate ducks from that lot, a black one and a white one, who were clearly deeply in love, were always together and performed an intricate mating neck waving ritual every now and then. So as well as a lovely setting there were things going on! And then there were the other guests.

Desventajas: Not really, although maybe thehotel might run the occasional minibus to town should there be punters wanting to use it. Travelling by boat to Portoferraio was terrific, and takes about 30 minutes, but the day the weather stopped it coming (too choppy) presented a problem for non car users like us, But the hotel did take us and others to town in their mini bus so they solved the difficulty. The location is OK during the day for getting to and from, but if you take half board, have lunch, and decide to eat in townin the evening - because there are loads of nice places - getting back means a taxi,....and even a car would not help because one woudl be insane to drink and drive on Elba's roads. The island needs a better bus service actually.

Ventajas: The restaurant was very good (a la carte at least). Very clean rooms. Could have good sea view but we had tree view.

Desventajas: Very poor children facilities and the beach was unuseable. Car was a must.

Ventajas: Everything was great! We liked it a lot. Especially the stuff was friendly and very helpful. The location is about a few steps by the sea, so we felt the sea breeze with hearing the waves all the time.

Desventajas: Nothing.

Ventajas: El lugar, a pie de playa, ideal para descansar, con una vista excepcional, en un entorno muy tranquilo y con un personal estupendo.

Desventajas: No

Ventajas: Staff were welcoming and helpful. Food was simple but fresh. Sea view was beautiful.

Desventajas: It was a little chilly at night and the room wasn't heated, or at least I couldn't get the radiators to work. Staff did provide an extra blanket though! Also, not the hotel's fault, but there are no buses and the taxi collectivo is infrequent. Standard taxi costs over 20 euros to Portoferraio from Magazzini and there is no way to walk.

Ventajas: Quiet but central location and stunning views - being right by the sea. Reception staff and our waiter exceptional nice.

Desventajas: The dining room which needed suttle lighting given stunning views and more willingness to allow resident guests to sit outside on the terrace [although we were 'allowed to'].Candles inside and out would give perfection to the setting. Maitre d could be friendlier.Perhaps a proper Bar with sitting area would have been good.

Ventajas: Position was excellent.

Desventajas:

Ventajas: Quiet in the middle of the woods with a nice view that you can enjoy at the hotel‘s restaurant or pool. You def. need a car however. The staff was also very nice and the room lovely and clean.

Ventajas: The staff, particularly Jessica, were so helpful and understanding when we shortened our stay. They also shuttled us to town twice to help out. Great location and views if you are visiting the island and have a vehicle.

Desventajas: Its rather far from town and if you dont have a car the taxi fares are genuinely obscene for a mere 5kms. The public transport is very infrequent and cannot be relied upon.

Ventajas: Decent size but with friendly staff. Family run. Good facilities.

Ventajas: Muy buena atención, el personal es muy atento y simpático. Nos ayudaron en todo lo que necesitamos. La comida es excelente! Si tenes vehículo es muy buena ubicación.

Ventajas: The location of the hotel is beautiful, there is a sea view and there is peace and quiet. The cleanliness was taken care of in the room. Portoferraio is a 5-minute drive away.

Desventajas: Breakfast was rich but uneventful, the same menus were set daily. At our departure in the morning there was no opportunity to get lunchbox or coffee even though I asked for it the day before. The room was running water from the air-conditioning. A septic tank stinks in the car parking lot.

Ventajas: The staff were very friendly and helpful even ironed some of my clothes as I forgot my travel iron The location was great The view fantastic The pool area was great The room was cleaned daily and fresh towels also provided daily

Desventajas: The shuttle service to the town was not available until late June so we had to hire a car as taxis up and down were 15 Euro’s each way working out quiet expensive on a 7 night stay! We did walk down into Portoferraio once or twice but it took well over an hour on a busy road!! No footpath! The hairdryer provided was useless! And the hotel bar was closed at 11pm which when on holiday is a little early!

Ventajas: Breakfast was a bit disappointing, but more or less what you can expect in Italy.

Desventajas: The hotel is much further from the beach etc than the pictures. The Wifi didnt work for 2 of 3 days of our stay. And last, but not at all the least, the restaurant was not any good at all.

Ventajas: the balcony, the pool, the views, the staff and cleanliness, location and food

Desventajas: very minor comments but bit more drawer space, opportunity for a second coffee at breakfast

Ventajas: Better than pictures, better than the best comments on Booking, including this one. This hotel is just amazing. Surrounded by charming green mountains and providing a superb view on Portoferraio, this hotel has offered us a romantic, exotic and fantastic stay. Sufficient to say that you have the same panorama as what Napoleon did in 1814, as his summer house is located just 300 m away (5 min walk) : a visit is really worth it and will take you around 45 min. The bus station (line 1) is 150 m away. The bus gets there every hour : 07:15 (first one), 08:15, 09:15, ...19:15 (last one). The room has a rustic style and is very very very clean. The bathroom is smart and comfortable. The garden is just awesome. Finally, the owner and his wife are very kind and lovely. My wife and I unreservedly recommend Il Camineto to you. As far as we're concerned, we will glad to come back. Thank you!

Ventajas: La vue , l’emplacement

Desventajas: - you only for the view otherwise everything else is expensive . Depends on the season but the hotel is far from everything . Taxi will cost 25 euros to go to the nearest village and 25 euros to go back to the hotel . Super expensive . No supermarket near . Since it’s far you have to eat dinner at the hotels restaurant which is additional 25 euros . The hotel director super super super RUDE . He doesn’t speak English so he doesn’t welcom you or ask you if you are ok . I asked just for an aspirin or a vitamin he laughed at me . If you speak Italian he might say hello to you . The girls at the reception and the restaurant were nice and helpful . I asked for a large double bed ,they gave me twin beds so you finish your night in the middle of the bed almost falling . The house keeper don’t think about if you are sleeping at 8 am or on vacation ,they move all the furnitures in the other rooms to clean so they wake you up. Food has nothing special so since there is no supermarket next to the hotel you have to pay double for everything . No even free water to welcome you . In October ,There is a bus, but only at 9 am or at 2 pm so if you have to come back to the hotel add 25 euros for the taxi . Anyways better to stay somewhere else . Not really worth the money . If you are not athletic there is a private beach but 200 steps to go down and up . So basically not going back to that hotel . There are so much better hôtels in the island .

Ventajas: Great little hotel, comfortable room with terrace onto garden overlooking the sea, perfect for a glass of proseco late in the afternoon. Staff was great, friendly and professional. Breakfast buffet was fantastic. Set menu in the evening was really good. We stayed an extra 2 nights, so much we loved it. Great base for touring the highland.

Desventajas: No wi fi in the room only on common areas.

Ventajas: Great view. Friendly staff. Really clean.

Desventajas: All good except that with a small kid (<2y in our case), it might not be the most convenient hotel (quite some stairs, away from main facilities...). But perfect place otherwise.

Ventajas: The private beach beside the property is really nice and not too far to walk. The views from the patio are also stunning.

Desventajas: My husband woke up the first morning to find ants all over his pillow. We complained and the problem was solved very quickly. I also think there should be a sign on the fridge explaining that there is a charge for the water. The water in the taps was too salty to drink and we assumed this was why there was free water in the fridge. We were surprised to be charged for it at check out and would have purchased water at the grocery store (at a much cheaper price) had we known.

Ventajas: Setting...... view from superior room..... outside space space/beach

Desventajas: Coffee and organisation of breakfast buffet

Desventajas: Amazing location with the fantastic view and charming personnel, perfect sevice.

Ventajas: Staff were very friendly and helpful

Desventajas: The charge for doing laundry was extremely expensive!

Ventajas: We loved having breakfast and dinner at the "Terraza", from where we had a wonderful view of the sea and sunset. All the staff are really kind. It was a pleasure to stay at the Hotel Viticcio!

Ventajas: The location is simply incredible, the beach area is calm and wonderful and the staff extremely nice & available to help!

Ventajas: The staff was very friendly and a free parking was excellent - covered in a shadow. The hotel has excess to the beach : 7-8 minutes walk and a possibility to reach on foot nearby Portoferraio town in 20-25 minutes.

Desventajas: It would be great to have free or discounted beach umbrellas and free accessible water.

Ventajas: Cool room was waiting for us in hot weather.

Desventajas: Bit far away from all restaurants.

Ventajas: Todo está muy bien y correcto en relación a su precio y calidad . Para quien gusta de playas es genial y desde el hotel en 20 minutos estás en cualquier otra parte

Ventajas: The hotel is a perfect starting point for exploring the island - and not only: the wonderful white pepple beach is only a 2-minute walk away, Portferraio downtown can be reached within a few minutes walk, the breakfast is excellent and the staff very friendly. The 24 h reception is another valuable bonus. We're were more than satisfied!!

Ventajas: over all i was very satisfied. very good quiet locatio, in walking distance to the centre of the town

Desventajas: ----"

Ventajas: Great location with easy access to beautiful local beach directly from the property. The staff are lovely. Very friendly and helpful. We had a room with balcony and sea view, which was a good choice. Good size and beautiful view. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. We loved staying here. Highly recommend this place.

Ventajas: Wonderful view. Great staff. Excellent breakfast.

Ventajas: First of all - the staff. They were incredibly friendly and helpful. A lovely beach was a 2 minute walk away. Breakfast was good. The rooms are spacious. Make sure you get a room with sea view and terrace, you won’t regret it.

Desventajas: Aircondition was poor. Location is a bit of the beaten track so there were no stores nearby, but if you have a car/scooter this is no problem. But otherwise the location is very pretty and close to the beach.

Ventajas: Comfortable, quiet, good location within walking distance of centre. Friendly English speaking staff. Good breakfast, including excellent scrambled eggs.

Desventajas: Renovation work meant scaffolding outside room.

Ventajas: Clean, friendly, very close to cute beach.

Ventajas: The staff was very friendly, made us feel like home. Great breakfast and possibility to have a good lunch if needed. Location perfect near the beautiful pebble beach and walking distance to Portoferraio center. Rooms also very nice with good terrace and seaview.

Ventajas: La ubicación del hotel que tiene acceso a una de las playas más lindas de Elba. Está cerca de la marina de Portoferraio donde hay atracciones interesantes y una gran variedad de opciones para comer. Es también una excelente ubicación para explorar otras áreas de la isla. Fácil acceso y buen parking.

Desventajas: El aire acondicionado no funcionaba con suficiente intensidad. Pasamos calor en la habitación.

Ventajas: Me ha gustado la ubicación ya que se encuentra encima de una calita de aguas turquesas y a 5 min a pie del pueblo. Tambien me ha gustado las vistas de la habitación al mar.

Desventajas: Quiza se podria obttener una habitación más moderna por este precio.

Ventajas: The hotel offers a very relaxed atmosphere, friendly and competent staff, wide selction of breakfast items and a convenient location.

Desventajas: The soundproofing between rooms was somewhat lacking. The noises included the hair-dryer, the extraction fans and the flush from neighbouring bathrooms. The room were a little damp.

Ventajas: was clean , free parking , big terrace, flower

Desventajas: poor breakfast, cost rooms

Ventajas: The room has a nice terrace with sea view

Desventajas: The interior design of room and corridors need to be upgraded. TV needs to be changed

Ventajas: Fantastic staff! Okey breakfast but would be better with some eggs and less sweets.

Desventajas: THE BEDS!!! We could feel every spring in our beds. Buy bed topp or change the beds.

Ventajas: The beautiful sea bathing with easy access to La Paduella beach through the hotel garden.

Desventajas: No fresh brioche at breakfast.

Ventajas: There was no windows, no aircon, the ceiling fan sounded like it was coming in to land. No kettle, no toaster no microwave, not even a chopping board. We stayed five nights with the same sheets and towels. On top of that we were asked to pay 30 euro each to use the pool. Very disappointing

Ventajas: In general, everything.

Desventajas: It would be nice if the swimming pool closes later than 19:00. This is too early given that in summer the days are long and very warm!

Ventajas: Beautiful calm surroundings -- the entire complex is covered in lush vegetation and the views of the mountain are lovely. We were very close to the small beach where you can watch the sunset and there were a few restaurants serving simple tasty food in a relaxed atmosphere.

Desventajas: Our corner apartment had a lot of traffic -- everyone seemed to pass by us so it was not entirely quiet, especially if you like to sleep in.

Ventajas: -Pool -Location -Gardens

Desventajas: The room was just ok for the price

Ventajas: The location is perfect and the park looks good.

Desventajas: We knew upfront that we had to pay extra for the Swimming Pool (EUR 20,- p.p. for our 4 days stay) but still I think this is stupid. I would advise to include this price in the accommodation price. In the 4 days that we stayed here we didn’t receive any cleans towels and new toilet paper. When we asked the reception after 2 days they provided us new towels but why did we have to ask for it?!

Ventajas: The pool was lovely

Desventajas: The apartment was extremely basic, and not clean when we arrived. We had a serious ant problem and everything got covered in ants. EVERYTHING.

Ventajas: El entorno...el paisaje es muy lindo.

Desventajas: Las camas muy duras, el aire acondicionado muy bajo, hacía calor. El desayuno muy pobre, no había té clásico ..la fruta fea..y un tostador que no andaba bién... ES MENTIRA QUE ESTÁ A 4 KM..DE PORTOFERRAIO ..ESTÁ A 12!!!

Ventajas: El resort es muy bonito, todo verde y bien cuidado. Piscina grande Chica del bar muy simpatica

Desventajas: Cocina poco equipada, no hay horno ni microondas. Solo una paella. Solo funcionaba uno de los 4 fogones El ventilador no funcionaba. Abridor de vino iba muy mal. No recambio de toallas ni papel higienico Calentador del agua dentro de la ducha Extremadamente ruidoso por las mañanas. Parece que cuidan mas el entorno que los propios apartamentos Piscina de pago Wifi no funciona Para ser un resort de 4 estrellas, muy mala relacion calidad-precio.

Ventajas: the location is excellent facilities are good

Desventajas: the apartment is to small for 4 persons there was only one bedroom, the 2 persons had the sleep in a small living room on a openable sofa. The living room was the kitchen and the dining room as well. The swimming pool which was located in the garden was not free of charge in spite of the it could be used only by the best of the hotel.

Ventajas: Perfect place to stay.

Ventajas: second time we stayed on this amazing garden paradise with marvelous view on mont Volterraio

Ventajas: Beautiful property just 17min out of Portoferraio. A little isolated but that’s what we wanted, perfect for families. The pool is amazing even though you have to pay for it. Staff are very obliging, really nice people. Federica is amazing! Thank you.

Desventajas: No air conditioning in the middle of summer was challenging, but to be fair they provided us with fans to be more comfortable.

Desventajas: Beach side is very small and stony, absolutely not suitable for swimming. Pictures make false impression that hotel have nice beach side.

Ventajas: Infraestructura , comodidad

Desventajas: La habitación accesoria es muy chica ( en habitaciones de 4 ) igual va bien

Ventajas: The room was nice. Facilities was good and the breakfast was really delicious. The staff was nice.

Desventajas: The location was nice, good view to Portoferraio. But it is terrible to walk there, and to walk to nearby resturants. It only has one street to the hotel, with no pavement and no street lights. We walked with our baby in a stroller, praying that no car would hit us, after we had dinner, in a resturant close by.

Ventajas: Location was stunning!

Desventajas: Air con was very weak and needed to be a lot stronger! Despite being set on the max and coolest setting it was not great! Spa was awful and despite being advertised as such is separate from the hotel!

Ventajas: The property was very nice and clean. Rachele, the boss from the front desk, was extremely supportive, friendly, highly professional and engaged. In general, the whole staff was very friendly and we loved the atmosphere and positive spirit of the hotel. The fish grill dinner with a big antipasto and dessert buffet was excellent. We enjoyed every minute, thank you!

Ventajas: Staff friendly restaurant great food bar and pool area relaxing

Desventajas: Had to get a taxi into town. Roads not friendly for walking 2 trips to town 60 euro

Ventajas: La piscina y la playa justo al lado, es lo más bonito del hotel. Se cena genial, la animación en italiano integralmente pero muy amena, facilidad de parking, hotel muy tranquilo, familiar

Desventajas: Atención, fui por una oferta y pagué bastante pero bastante menos de lo que valía inicialmente y por eso quede tan contenta. Si no encontráis una buena oferta, pensadlo dos veces porque el precio inicial que vi es desorbitado para un hotel q está bien y es un buen hotel, pero ya algo desfasado y que tampoco tiene nada súper especial como para gastarse un dineral en el.

Ventajas: Great staff. Very clean.

Desventajas: Internet access was awful.

Ventajas: Very friendly staff, excellent breakfast and nice hotel. One week with friends and family was perfect. Thank you

Ventajas: Very delicious breakfast, big room and even bathroom, nice staff, conveniently near the port and a good spot to travel around island.

Desventajas: Nice beach but probably because vicinity of the port the sea isn't very clean, so don't expect a jump in. There is a nice pool instead if you like a lot of kids. Pool toilets should be cleaned more often, they were beyond words at out stay there. Also white lobby furniture and grass beanbags are far from white and inviting and the pond in front of the hotel looks very deserted. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice enough place but with a bit more care and put some thought in it, it can be great. Oh, one more...please mow the grass after 9, on holidays we like to sleep in sometimes.

Ventajas: Todo especialmente la atención y la cocina.

Desventajas: Nada

Ventajas: Muy buena ubicación. Cerca del puerto, del centro y la playa. La habitación es muy amplia, cómoda y la vista es espectacular!! El personal es muy amable. Y el desayuno es muy bueno y completo.

Ventajas: We stay in hotel Acquamarina with the same conditions like hotel Ombrosa, so each evaluations is for Acquamarina hotel

Ventajas: En general todo correcto. Parking gratuito

Desventajas: Las toallas no son de tacto agradable. Son de tela en vez de riso.

Ventajas: Beautiful hotel just steps from the beach. We were upgraded to a sea view room without having to ask since the hotel wasn’t full.

Ventajas: This hotel a good choice for staying at Portoferraio; just a short walk from the ferry, and just up from one of the better beaches on the island.

Ventajas: Good location

Desventajas: This hotel was terrible value for money I paid a lot of money for a tiny room Bathroom window didn’t open He had a garden / road view with works being done early morning and it was noisy The TV was fixed high up on wall and dad found it difficult to hear it unless volume was high and it disturbed neighbours so he could not even watch tv in his room and he had to join the common room Meals were in the garden and birds would fly over his head Overall I would never ever consider rebooking this The staff was awful to my father and the room was terrible I paid a fortune and I feel it was an utter rip off

Ventajas: To be fair we didn’t stay at Villa Ombrosa because it was closed for repairs. Upon arrival we found a note on the door directing us to Hotel Acquamarina about a half mile up the road, which deserves 5-stars on all counts.

Ventajas: We spent the final 3 days of our holiday in Elba at Villa Ombrosa as we wanted to be near to the port for our return home. Location is good with easy walk into town, harbours and port and just across the road to the beach with free sun beds. Staff all friendly, helpful and efficient. Reception staff always available. Room was clean, shower was hot. Lovely outdoor terraces with views out to sea. Breakfast was usual typical self service with adequate choices. Had dinner on the first evening but didn’t bother again. Service was good with lovely waitresses but we weren’t overly impressed with the meal. Ok but nothing special. We made use of the free cycle hire one day which we enjoyed.

Desventajas: Our room was clean but rather dark. The walls were painted dark orange which didn’t help and we could hear noise from adjoining rooms. It was a rear room with a small patio area facing a wall and we suffered quite a few mosquito bites in spite of keeping the door closed etc and we ended up buying a spray repellent. The rooms at the front with balconies facing the sea would be much nicer but you probably don’t get allocated these when using an online booking site.

Ventajas: It was just a short walk from the ferry. The reception was very helpful. And we got two free bikes (they have 5 bikes) which was very useful when going to and around the old town. We also went west along the beach road where you find the best white beaches which all are along the northside. Room was nice with view to the sea and the old fort. Breakfast is the standard you get at many bigger hotels - nothing special. But the waiters are nice and do their job fast.

Ventajas: La ubicación

Desventajas: Que no hablen inglés, se entendía muy poco el italiano

Ventajas: Location and private beach area - bottle of bubbly left in the room for my birthday - breakfast very good and served outside on the terrace - beautiful view from our two sets of patio doors

Desventajas: Thought the older members of reception staff were not always friendly and ready to help - could not fault the younger ones and the ladies waiting tables and looking after food at breakfast were lovely

Ventajas: Great view and excellent breakfast

Desventajas: Bathroom was good but as usual with the Bidet its a bit cramped. Shower takes a little time to warm up but its very hot here so not too much of an issue.

Ventajas: The proprietors and staff are tip-top. The food excellent and location out of this world. Just could have done with a bigger bathroom. This is my second visit and the bathroom this time was just too small.

Desventajas: See above.

Ventajas: The location was excellent. Good for local bus and onward journeys to see rest of island by public transport.

Desventajas: Being English and Vegetarian did pose one or two problems and being shown to the incorrect room on arrival (which was such a beautiful situation) and then being told the receptionist had got it wrong did mare our arrival a little.

Ventajas: Great location close to the beach. Very helpful staff and great view

Ventajas: Friendly helpful staff. Clean room

Desventajas: It was all good

Ventajas: El hotel se encuentra en un acantilado con unas vistas increíbles. Inmejorable el ver atardecer en su terraza con una buena copa de vino. El dueño fue muy agradable en todo momento.

Desventajas: Cenamos una noche en el hotel y el menú era algo justo.

Ventajas: A room overlooking the sea, with splendid sunsets.

Desventajas: Room was missing air conditioning, but the staff provided us with a fan so all was OK.

Ventajas: Very good location. Beautiful apartment - everything you need is in it. Around the house is a wonderful large garden with a place to relax, with beautiful flowers and trees. The most important thing: wonderful, friendly owners.

Ventajas: beutiful garden, large space and facilities outdoor : breakfast and dinner outside!

Desventajas: noise from the road down the hill

Ventajas: Cleanliness ,spacious garden, patio

Desventajas: No basic kitchen essentials like salt, pepper, sugar, broken showerhead, pull out bed

Ventajas: Good location, easily accessible

Desventajas: The customer experience was influenced by a couple of factors which could be improved by the hotel management. The policy of seating in the hotel restaurant is quite rigid, and often it doesn’t really make sense, having the sole implication of degrading the pleasure of the stay. Even if the restaurant is half empty, customers are sent to their “pre-assigned table”, which may be in the corner of the restaurant, behind a wall, with no really enjoyable view. The waiter/waitress stated that it was not possible to use one of the other many empty table since then “the towel needed to be changed”, which is something that needs to be done anyway. A note is that Air Conditioning is not included, and is provided upon payment of an additional fee. It is something that it is indirectly stated in the hotel facilities, but worth mentioning.

Desventajas: The breakfast was bad : only industrial products, nothing was fresh. Bad coffee from an old machine. The only interesting thing would be the pool, but it was closed (not clearly mentioned on their website before booking) Room was quite small, with a view on both the sea, and the parking...

Ventajas: we have a nice time here , nice view from our balcone of room , nice dinner and breakfast ! The people are so kindly and helpful, i recommend this place :)

Ventajas: Amazing views and pool. Friendly staff. Great home base to explore the island!

Desventajas: Extra charges to use the air conditioning, jacuzzi, etc. The restaurant was also just ok.

Ventajas: Breakfast and evening meals were good. Staff were friendly. Great place to ocean swim except for Jelly fish larvae! Rooms were clean and comfortable.

Desventajas: Everything was at additional cost. i.e had to pay for beach towels, sun chair plus umbrella separately. No Wi-Fi except in designated area and was of poor quality. Not all activities were available. Had to ask for aircon as the controller were kept at reception. Location was a bit far from town.

Ventajas: We had a kayak tour, free of charge! It was beautiful.

Ventajas: Beautiful location,with friendly and helpful personal.The beach is amazing,real paradise.We will come back soon

Ventajas: A lovely italian hotel located 2 min on foot from a wonderful beach. Lovely view from the rooms with terrace. If you are travelling without a car, it´s a great choise: near to the harbour, to the city center, old town and, as already mentioned, to at least 3 beaches, as well as to the bus central station that can bring you to other beaches of the island.

Ventajas: Breakfast/Staff/Location

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: The breakfast offerings. The beach access. Location is perfecto. A couple of the staff speak very good English and are very helpful.

Desventajas: The mattress was hard. I’m a side sleeper and it hurt. The dining tables have plastic flowers. Better to have none in my opinion. A lift would be nice too.

Ventajas: Hotel muy bien ubicado. Conexión a pie con el embarcadero para ir a Piombino Marítima. Conexión conlos medios públicos. La a unos metros frente al hotel. Nosotros no lo utilizamos pero tiene Parking. Limpieza optima. Desayuno muy completo. El personal excelente, muy colaboradores todos, destacamos la colaboración de Francesco recepcionista del turno noche, aunque todos son muy buenos. La única falla es que no tiene ascensor, pero el personal ayudó amablemente con el equipaje por las escaleras

Desventajas: Nothing to complain.

Ventajas: La piscina y su entorno

Desventajas: Muchas escaleras

Ventajas: really nice outdoor pool and garden area. This was amazing and well cared for. Our room sometimes smelled a bit funny and the bed was a two matress double bed so less comfortable when you’re a couple. Would reocmmend to visit the area with a car or renting a scooter to viait the island as you have to cross a busy mountain road to get there. But overall great value and great outdoor life, friendly staff

Desventajas: Room was a bit smelly in the evening sometimes and we’d rather have a bed with one matress

Ventajas: Clean, fair size room and balcony area. Views and garden are beautiful. Staff friendly and helpful. Spa was very good and facility very modern.

Desventajas: Road leading to property unsealed and very rough. Food (lunch) options average - breakfast was average. We chose not to have dinner, so unable to comment. Bed was a little uncomfortable with mattress issue - springs broken? Property could do with a maintenance Makeover.

Ventajas: Fantastic views and fantastic staff.

Desventajas: No air conditioning in the room, very small room, remote location and tortuous,windy, very rough and bumpy road to get there. Overall the building needs a freshen up in terms of painting and furniture. Rooms should be serviced before mid afternoon.
