A wonderful accommodation. We felt very comfortable. Great location in the lively main square with a magnificent view. Would book Porta del mare again anytime.

The location is beautiful, located in the center of Portoferraio, so it is very convenient for everything. The B&B Porta del mare is very nice, always clean and with beautiful rooms. The managers are always available and pleasant. We were treated very well. Recommended.

Happy return. For our first stay on Elba, we decide to return as guests of Rossella, whom we had met in Camogli, at her previous B&B. We had no doubts that the Porta del Mare would remain in our hearts; the rooms are meticulously cared for, the cleanliness is impeccable, the view of the sea from the dock is spectacular... but the strength of this dwelling is the welcome and attention that Rossella reserves for her guests. Do not be intimidated by the four flights of stairs, come and you will feel at home, it's worth it!

Beautiful room in the historic center of Portoferraio. Carefully decorated down to the smallest details and equipped with everything needed for a pleasant stay. Mrs. Rossella is a host in the true sense of the word, extremely helpful in providing information and great tips from beaches to typical restaurants. Highly recommended, until next time! Michelangelo and Chiara.

I highly recommend this property to everyone. I have been coming to Elba for many years now and for 2 years I have discovered this authentic gem in the heart of Portoferraio and I won't let it go. The owner, Rossella, welcomes you as if you were family. Generous with excellent advice on the surrounding accommodation facilities and so caring and lovely that she makes you feel literally cradled and protected. For those who love a stay in absolute peace and serenity, in an environment that is top-notch in terms of cleanliness and order, a stone's throw from the promenade and dream beaches... pack your bags and without thinking twice come to Rossella, an extraordinary and lovely girl. Let yourself be carried away by her authentic magnetism full of positivity. I am absolutely convinced that you will come back more and more times! Highly recommended, 10 out of 10... unfortunately there is no higher rating.

The B&B is located right behind a historic arch on the harbor, in the heart of the old town. The location is great and the view from my room was priceless. Rossella and Bruno are really great hosts. Everything decorated with much love. I would stay here again anytime.

I had the pleasure of staying at B&B Porta del Mare from August 21st to 28th, 2021, in the Maestrale room. The choice of this location proved to be crucial in making what, looking back, was an exceptional vacation. The central location, where it is located, makes it easy to enjoy everything the Island offers: the best beaches (reachable by a free shuttle or a maximum of 15 minutes by car), excellent restaurants, and numerous other services you might need (a small grocery store, a bookstore, a pharmacy, a cash point). The breakfast bars are right under the building and offer a good menu (one, in particular, at affordable prices), so the fact that breakfast is not included, I believe, is a false issue. Despite being on the main square, the B&B is extremely quiet: nighttime rest is guaranteed, as well as tranquility in general. The cleanliness is very accurate, and the change of towels and sheets takes place on time, every two days. Air conditioning is not necessary: the Elba's wind currents do their "natural" cooling job well; if needed, a fan will do the rest. But let's get to the point: Rossella, who skillfully manages the B&B, is capable of a discreet and warm welcome at the same time. She will suggest, as one would do to a dear person, the best places to go for dinner, the various types of beaches, and, above all, she will help you understand how to best enjoy the Island based on the needs you express. Here: what I have just said is what made my vacation not just good, but exceptional. Here empathy and education are at home.

The structure is very beautiful and is in a great location. The cleanliness is impeccable and the managers are very helpful. My room was Scirocco and had a beautiful view.

Very pleasant stay. Rossella is very kind and attentive to make us feel good in everything, always ready to give valuable advice. A special mention certainly goes to the cleanliness of the structure! Congratulations, we will not forget these few days. Highly recommended!

We stayed here in the last week of July, despite the heat we were fine as the room was well-ventilated and the B&B has well-furnished and clean rooms. Rossella manages the B&B and was immediately very helpful and kind in indicating the parking and the places to visit. The location is central and you can reach both the historic center and the beaches of Portoferraio on foot. Recommended especially for couples because you can enjoy tranquility and in the evening you can go out on foot. I also recommend the bar below the B&B run by two very kind gentlemen with a beautiful little cat. We were very satisfied and happy with this stay.

Structure in the center, close to all services, north coast beaches easily reachable on foot, very clean room with a view of the historic center and port; Mrs. Rossella who manages the B&B Porta del mare was very helpful and friendly. I recommend everyone to stay in this structure.

If only one could give a higher score than 10! Everything simply perfect. The rooms are located on the fourth floor and you have no idea of the spectacular view in front of you! My boyfriend and I spent New Year's Eve here and seeing the fireworks from the window of our room was the cherry on top! Regarding the structure, impeccable cleanliness of both the rooms and the bathroom; it may be on the fourth floor and without an elevator, but I assure you it's worth it. Last but not least, the welcome: Bruno and Rossella are always super helpful, very friendly and kind, they really made us feel at home. More than recommended.

A very lovingly maintained clean B&B with a luxurious bathroom in the room, where I immediately felt at home. Rosella and Bruno are extremely helpful. Although the B&B is centrally located, it was quiet at night. Thank you to both for this rare hospitality.

Very central location in the main square of Portoferraio. Very clean and cozy house, not to mention the fantastic owners. Bruno and Rossella very helpful in providing advice on beaches, towns, and restaurants. It's very pleasant to exchange words with them. We will definitely come back for a relaxing vacation.

Excellent location in the historic center close to restaurants and some affiliated bars, nice and simple room but tasteful, the owners are friendly and discreet but present with advice and suggestions, clean and welcoming environment, good value for money. We will definitely come back.

The two '9s' for the structure and for the breakfast are only because the B&B Porta del mare is on the 4th floor without an elevator (it might discourage someone but Bruno and Rossella help you carry your luggage up and down!) and because breakfast is at the bar (if they made it themselves it would be magnificent given the impeccable care they have in the rest, but I understand that it is demanding and requires space). However, I stayed in the Maestrale room: beautiful, furnished with great care and style, complete private bathroom. Very attentive to cleanliness, the rooms are redone every day. This room does not have a sea view but, even though it is in the historic center, it is quiet and peaceful. The mini fridge is also very convenient. The B&B Porta del mare is centrally located and very convenient. The added value is Rossella and Bruno who welcome you into their home and make themselves completely available with advice and information. Great availability, attention, and courtesy.

We stayed my wife and I at the B&B Porta del mare from the 19th to the 26th of August. It is located on the fourth floor of a building in the historic center of Portoferraio. We were promptly helped by the very kind managers in carrying our luggage to the room. Arrived in our room, the "Grecale", we were immediately struck by the order, cleanliness, and style with which it was furnished; as well as the splendid view of the sea and the tourist harbor. Room cleaning was carried out every day, with extreme care and attention. The bathroom is spacious, always clean, with a huge shower and equipped with everything necessary for personal hygiene. Breakfast, free, is served in an affiliated bar with comfortable tables overlooking the marina. The strong point is represented by the managers Rossella and Bruno, affable, available people who pay great attention to their customers. When it was time to leave, we no longer felt like customers, but we felt like "guests at friends' house". All made possible thanks to the passion of Bruno and Rossella and the desire to share their spaces with strangers who will eventually feel at home. Thank you very much, Fabio and Ivana from Modena.

We have recently returned from our first visit to Elba, short but very satisfying. We stayed at B&B Porta del mare in Portoferraio from 18 to 25 July. The location of the property is excellent for those who want to have a “base” from which to plan the itinerary for discovering the island: the B&B is right in the center of Portoferraio, near the marina, in a historic building. The only "flaw", known in advance before confirming the reservation, is the location of the property, on the 4th floor of the building, without an elevator; this fact could initially discourage, but in the end it allowed us to get some healthy exercise and enjoy a beautiful view. The rooms are comfortable and spotlessly clean, tastefully and simply furnished at the same time. They do not have air conditioning but are equipped with a fan, which we promptly used on a couple of particularly humid evenings. The owners have always been discreet, kind, and caring towards us, they helped us with moving luggage and even engaged in conversation to give useful advice on which beaches to visit depending on the winds and where to eat. With their care, we felt like real "guests at home" and not customers. An important recommendation: the B&B is inside the ZTL, so be careful! It is possible to request a temporary permit associated with the license plate of your car or the vehicle possibly rented.

A beautiful apartment in the center of Portoferraio. We spent one night in this beautiful B&B, a delightful view and attention to detail that is very hard to find. We were welcomed by the kindness and friendliness of Rossella and Bruno who pampered us throughout our stay. We will definitely come back to visit you, a hug.

We have already stayed at this B&B, my partner and I, and every time it confirms itself as an excellent welcoming and comfortable structure. The owners are very kind, they always recommend the most beautiful restaurants and beaches. The central location in Portoferraio allows you to be close to shops, bars, and restaurants. Located near the port area, it is very convenient for those arriving by ferry. The only less practical aspect is being on the 4th floor without an elevator, but from the room we always go to, there is a view that makes up for everything! I highly recommend it.

We chose this B&B thanks to the recommendation of a friend who had already been there. My boyfriend and I spent 4 wonderful days on this island (it was my first time on Elba Island). The apartment enjoys a breathtaking view of the sea, where you can admire the changing colors from dawn to sunset, the cleanliness is impeccable and the decor is very well-kept. The welcoming and relaxing atmosphere reflects in its entirety the care and kindness of Rossella and Bruno. Excellent advisors for our days, they provided us with all the necessary information to spend unforgettable days and evenings. As for the location, it is quite central and convenient to all services given the proximity to shops, bars, restaurants, and places by the sea. I highly recommend everyone a weekend in this magnificent structure! I take this opportunity to sincerely thank Rossella and Bruno for their total availability and kindness!

The Maestrale room, comfortable, clean and well-kept, reflects the personality of the hosts, two helpful, kind and very refined people. Recommended!

A stellar experience! When good taste, elegance, and a lot of heart come together, that's when you've arrived at B&B Porta del Mare. Thanks to Bruno and Rossella for their exquisite hospitality. They know how to make every moment truly special. Two bright stars with their names shine in the sky of Elba.

We had a splendid one-week stay in August on the Island of Elba, thanks also to our stay in this enchanting B&B Porta del mare in the heart of Portoferraio, in a strategic location with a spectacular view. Rossella and Bruno are wonderful hosts, kind, caring, and generous with advice. We felt truly pampered, like at our own home. Their love and dedication shine through in every detail. The wonders of Elba did the rest. Highly recommended.

A beautiful apartment in the historic center of Portoferraio, clean and carefully maintained with grace and elegance by its owners who, as in a real B&B, live in it. There are 3 rooms with dedicated bathrooms for guests, all 3 romantic, bright, comfortable, and spacious: 2 overlook Piazza Cavour, the port, and the sea, 1 overlooks the alleys of the historic center and the fortress. It's a pleasure to open the window. The rooms are all 3 beautiful, regardless. Parquet flooring throughout the house, white walls, books. A good scent and a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Rossella and Bruno have gestures of respect; for example, they open and close the shutters of the house throughout the day, depending on the wind and how the sun turns, so that when guests return, they always find the house fresh. I particularly appreciated this care, and I hope they receive kindness and gratitude from the guests to whom they open the doors of their home, but above all of their lives. The prices are fair, even in August. But the island deserves a stay especially outside the summer months. Recommended.

Bruno e Rossella ti fanno sentire come a casa, gentili, disponibili, premurosi.

The place, the guest: perfetto.

Ottima posizione nel centro storico di Portoferraio. Bel palazzo e bellissima casa. Molto curate le camere: la Maestrale è spaziosa e silenziosa, senza vista mare ma comunque splendida. L'accoglienza è stata fantastica: Rossella e Bruno sono ospitali, gentili, disponibili, sorridenti, ottimi padroni di casa. Da consigliare.

Sono stata in questo bed-and-breakfast per una settimana ed è stato subito "amore" a prima vista. Situato in posizione centrale, una volta arrivati al piano ci si accorge ancor prima di aprire la porta, la minuziosità dell'angolo verde. Piccole piantine profumate che abbelliscono l'entrata. Sì viene accolti con molta ospitalità dalla signora Rossella e Bruno e da un intenso profumo di fresco. La meraviglia si ha una volta aperta l'anta della finestra: il blu del mare e del cielo sono tutt'uno facendo da cornice. L'atmosfera dell'isola e le premure di Bruno e Rossella, molto attenti, discreti e cordiali hanno reso la mia vacanza indimenticabile. Peccato di aver avuto solo una settimana.

Posizione invidiabile. Pieno centro di Portoferraio. Struttura eccellente sotto tutti i punti di vista. I proprietari disponibili e capaci. Eccellente pulizia della stanza. Vista impagabile. Alberto ed Eugenia da Genova.

Wir waren eine Woche anfangs August dort. Zimmer und Service ist excellent. Es muss mit dem Lärm einer florierender Piazza gerechnet werden, da diese direkt unterhalb des B&B liegt. Ab Mitternacht wird es jedoch jeweils ruhig.

We stayed here for three nights in June. We had travelled from Rome to Elba with our adult son to celebrate my Aunt's 80th birthday. We very much enjoyed our stay at Porta Del Mare. Rossella and Bruno were wonderful hosts. We found the apartment charming. The decor is very fresh, clean and stylish. We had fabulous views from our bedrooms. There is some night time noise from the Square below but we enjoyed being in the centre of the Port area. We will definately stay again next time we visit Isola d'elba.

My husband and I stayed for a week in June in "Grecale". It is a spacious, comfortable room with a fantastic view over the harbour and sea. The en suite shower is larger than many we have used in Italy. The room was spotlessly clean and there were regular changes of towels. The building is in one of the main squares in the main town of Elba so lots of choice of restaurants, cafes and bars. It is about 10 minutes walk to the ferry terminal and the main bus station, and there is excellent bus service all over the island. The bars in the square below play music quite late on Saturday night but being 4 floors up, did not affect our sleep. Rossella and Bruno are charming hosts with excellent recommendations for dinner and information about Elba. Highly recommended.

Liebevoll, hell (und modern) eingerichtete Zimmer, man merkt dass sich die Betreiber Gedanken gemacht haben. Aussicht auf den Torre del Martello und den Hafen. Renoviertes Bad. Alles super-sauber. Mein Fenster (Zimmer Scirocco) ging zwar direkt auf die Piazza Cavour raus, da das B&B aber im 4. Stock ist, hält sich die Lautstärke in Grenzen. Für mich waren die Geräusche vom Platz wie "Urlaub in Italien hören", und nachts war es ruhig. Die Betreiber des B&B sind supernett und hilfsbereit, ich habe mich von Anfang an willkommen gefühlt. Im Café auf der anderen Seite des Platzes gab es leckeres Frühstück und jede Menge zu beobachten dazu. Alles in allem habe ich mich sehr wohl gefühlt und würde jederzeit wieder dort übernachten.

The location in Ferrraio, the capital of Elba, is the very best, on the square at the gate to the old town. As the BnB is four flight of stairs up without lift you get up over the roofs in front af you and from two of the rooms you have a splendid view over the square, the idyllic harbour, the sea and the mountains in the the distance. From two of the three rooms. The host will carry your luggage all the steps up and down. Beside, the host couple is most charming and helpful you can imagine, and they give you advice for tours, restaurants and everything else. The decoration is simple, tasty, light and Tuscan. We had four days of super holiday here.

Great location and views over harbour. Bruno and Rossella super helpful and friendly. Spacious, light, airy room, spotlessly clean.

Posizione ottima, pulizia eccezionale, cortesia dei gestori eccellente, lo consiglio vivamente.

luca rated this property but he didn't leave any comment

In posizione centrale con un bel panorama sul golfo, ben servito dai ristoranti e bar. Uniche pecche bagno senza bidet, la posizione non molto felice al 4 piano con gradini molto ripidi e gli asciugamani erano puliti ma graffiavano.

Ho soggiornato presso la Porta del Mare da solo per due notti nella camera "Scirocco". Ottima la posizione in quanto raggiungibile in pochi minuti di auto se si arriva sull'isola con il traghetto. In centro a Portoferraio, risulta molto comodo per visitare a piedi la città, il porto, il castello e alcune spiagge vicine. L'ambiente è molto accogliente e ci si sente subito a proprio agio come dovrebbe essere soggiornando nei B&B. Ottima la pulizia delle stanze. L'arredamento è stato scelto con molta cura e non passano inosservati i dettagli. Dalla stanza Scirocco si gode della vista sul porto e della Torre del martello. I proprietari Bruno e Rossella sono persone fantastiche, cordiali e disponibili. Ci mettono passione in quello che fanno e questo non può far altro che dare un ottimo servizio ai clienti. Lo consiglio vivamente e sicuramente sceglierò ancora questo B&B nel caso dovessi tornare all'isola d'Elba.

Ci sono volte in cui il viaggio diventa esperienza e gli incontri diventano ricordi di viaggio. Semplicemente perfetto il mio soggiorno al B&B Porta del Mare, ottima la posizione, la pulizia e la cornice fatta di bar ed elbani, mare, pescatori e negozi. Ma incontrare Bruno e Rossella è stato un regalo inaspettato, non solo gentilezza, accoglienza e discrezione, ma anche una nuova amicizia che resterà nel cuore accanto alla promessa del ritrovarsi.

Super schöne Lage, sehr freundliche und nette "Vermieter", cooles Zimmer und schöner Ausblick. Wir haben einen angenehmen Aufenthalt verbrach.

A dir poco perfetto.

Siamo stati in questo B&B proprio in questa settimana e devo dire che non potevo fare scelta migliore. Rossella e Bruno (i gestori) sono due persone fantastiche: ti mettono subito a tuo agio, ti aiutano con le valigie (sfido altri hotel/B&B a farlo senza dover dare una mancia), ti danno indicazioni sulle migliori spiagge e offrono dei coupon col 10% di sconto su ristoranti favolosi come "D Gianni", "Acqua cheta", "La Cisterna" e altri. Le camere sono molto belle, letto molto comodo (e vi assicuro che sono pignola su quello); ogni giorno puliscono e lasciano le camere impeccabili, pulite ed igienizzate. È piacevole fermarsi a chiacchierare con loro perché se avete bisogno di qualcosa sono sempre disponibili, pronti a ridere con voi e aiutarvi. La posizione è strategica perché siete vicini al porto in cui si sbarca con il traghetto, ai negozi, al supermercato "Crai", a molti posti dove fare un buon aperitivo, alla spiaggia "Le viste", a molti ristoranti/pizzerie e da lì si raggiungono le altre città e/o spiagge. Se dovete scegliere un B&B questo è il migliore. Io e il mio fidanzato siamo stati bene e vedrete che non ve ne pentirete.

Ho passato una settimana di Agosto in questo B&B con la mia ragazza e ci siamo trovati benissimo. I proprietari, Rossella e Bruno, sono stati gentilissimi e molto accoglienti sin da subito, ci hanno aiutato coi bagagli sia all'arrivo che alla partenza, ci hanno dato degli ottimi suggerimenti su pizzerie e ristoranti nei dintorni, tutti posti ottimi per qualità, prezzi e servizi. Il B&B Porta del Mare è in pieno centro storico a Portoferraio, in piazza Cavour, al quarto piano di uno storico palazzo dell'800. Noi eravamo nella stanza Maestrale, da cui si può ammirare la suggestiva vista dei tetti di Portoferraio da un lato, e del Forte Falcone dall'altra; camera pulitissima con bagno privato, frigobar, TV e ventilatore. Come posizione è comodissimo per raggiugnere le spiaggie delle Viste, Le Ghiaie, Padulella e Capo Bianco a piedi, mentre per le altre spiaggie più lontane ci si può arrivare comodamente col bus la cui fermata è a un tiro di sasso dal B&B. Che dire, personalmente sono molto contento di aver soggiornato al B&B Porta del Mare, di aver conosciute due belle eprsone come Rossella e Bruno edi aver visitato un isola fantastica com l'Elba!.

Posizione perfetta, al centro di ogni comodità e vicina alle spiagge più belle. La location fresca, pulita e si sente il profumo del mare. I proprietari sono accoglienti, simpatici e ti danno molti consigli su come muoverti: ristoranti, spiagge, luoghi. Insomma da non perdere.

Arrivati al B&B Porta del mare è stato come entrare in un piccolo mondo antico fatto di profumi e atmosfere daltri tempi. Le camere sono ampie e luminose, la Maestrale dove eravamo noi è forse la più fresca con un ampio soffitto con travi a vista. Dalle altre due camere c'è una stupenda vista mare. Tutto estremamente pulito e curato. Un grazie particolare a Rossella e Bruno per la loro disponibilità e cortesia.

Le camere poste verso la piazza sono piene di luce e sentono la vivacità del centro storico, la camera maestrale si affaccia sui vecchi tetti. Per raggiungerle si deve salire parecchio, ma si è ricompensati da una atmosfera molto piacevole e dalla cortesia accogliente dei due simpatici padroni di casa, sempre disponibili per utili consigli ed informazioni. Molto curata la pulizia dei locali. Il B&B si trova in posizione strategica per raggiungere le spiagge e per godere della vita mediterranea serale.

Siamo partiti con un po' di dubbi, temevamo che la posizione del B&B fosse scomoda sia per il parcheggio, sia come punto di partenza per visitare l'isola. Bene, dopo esserci stati per 10 notti possiamo dire che se dovessimo ritornare all'Elba il B&B Porta del mare sarebbe la nostra prima scelta. Camera (Grecale) bellissima, molto pulita e curata e con vista mare. Proprietari disponibili e accoglienti senza mai essere invadenti. Parcheggio a 50 mt (a pagamento dalle 8 alle 20 ma con tariffe ragionevoli) e soprattutto a 10 minuti massimo di auto dalle spiagge per noi migliori dell'isola. Essendo poi in pieno centro storico per pranzi veloci e cene c'è solo l'imbarazzo della scelta (con alcuni ottimi locali convenzionati). La colazione è presso un bar proprio di fronte al palazzo del B&B. È una classica colazione all'italiana, ma per noi che al mattino non siamo dei mangioni è stata perfetta.

Rossella and Bruno were wonderful. Bruno insisted on carrying our large suitcases the four floors of stairs to the rooms, which was much appreciated. The accommodations were fine - clean and welcoming. I felt bad that I could not communicate with Rossella, but I believe she understood how appreciative we were of their efforts. The recommended restaurants had food that was delicious and well prepared, and the location was in the heart of the main square. We would highly recommend this B&B to all.
