A true paradise, we stayed from 17th to 22nd June 2024 and we had a really great time. The property is managed by Virginia, a very nice and helpful girl, along with her father Vittorio, who takes care of the maintenance of the place. There are also several animals that are part of that beautiful family, so for those who love animals like us, it is the perfect place. The breakfasts are abundant and prepared with very fresh and healthy ingredients. We highly recommend Il Podere dell'Imperatore to anyone who wants to spend a holiday on the beautiful island of Elba. Jessica and Andrea.

Virginia and Vittorio are two fantastic people, very friendly and helpful but always discreet. The structure is cared for in every detail and equipped with all the comforts, with the advantage of being in the middle of nature in a very well-kept and quiet place. The breakfast is based on homemade and always different products. Virginia gave us valuable advice on what to visit or where to eat on the island. The location is strategic, just outside Portoferraio, and from here you can easily reach all areas of the island. If you love animals, then, this place is a true paradise! Ludovico and I left a piece of our hearts here!

We have never felt truly at home in the hotels, bed and breakfasts, and agriturismos we have stayed in. At Il Podere dell'Imperatore, it's really possible. It's a magical place and it's indescribable in its beauty and authenticity! Virginia, Vittorio, their two wonderful labradors, and the goose Guendalina made our vacation unforgettable! You feel pampered and everything is taken care of in every detail. Wonderful breakfasts with Virginia's homemade cakes, fragrant sheets and towels, welcoming decor, attention to healthy living, love for animals and nature, and Vittorio's care in maintaining every corner of this paradise. We could really say much more, but to truly understand what we experienced, you just have to book and discover it in person. Il Podere dell'Imperatore is Cristina's dream that becomes a reality for anyone who crosses its threshold.

Staying at Il Podere dell'Imperatore was like listening to good music, without ever a wrong note. Enchanting place, in the countryside but a stone's throw from the sea, managed by a very kind family, always present but never intrusive. Large room, carefully furnished and very clean. Super breakfasts with homemade pastries, fruit, savory options and anything you could wish for, all served under the branches of a centuries-old apricot tree. And when you return tired after a day at the sea or after a wonderful trekking experience in Elba, you can relax on the comfortable sun loungers provided in the garden right in front of the room. Everything really well taken care of and perfect. Rating 10 out of 10!

We stayed at this magnificent property, my partner and I, for a week and everything was magnificent. The property is very well-kept and immersed in greenery with a spectacular view. The managers, Cristina and Vittorio, along with the rest of the family, are very kind, helpful, and attentive to the guests' needs and immediately make you feel at ease. The rooms are very beautiful, well-kept, and spacious. The breakfast is sublime and very rich with fresh pastries prepared by Cristina. There is also savory food, fruits, and other delicacies. The company of the various animal friends that color the environment and are part of the family is also excellent. We really did not find any negative notes. Thanks to Vittorio, Cristina, and the rest of the family for making us spend a beautiful week.

I stayed with my partner for a week in this property and we had a great time. The owners were very kind, located a few kilometers from the center of Portoferraio, I also gave the highest rating on the location even though it is far from the sea because it is very peaceful. At night, a starry sky visible to the naked eye and during the day a tranquility, a peace that sometimes we didn't even want to go to the beach. One of those places you hope to return to.

A beautiful stay at Il Podere, what can I say. Spectacular welcome, from the location, for its tranquility, immersed in the countryside but a stone's throw from the city center, a strategic point to reach the entire island in a few minutes by car; at breakfast, with delicious fresh homemade cakes; the kindness, availability, and friendliness of the owners who with their various animals, from the courtyard and as companions, brighten up your morning and return home! Beautiful memory of this spectacular island. A big hello to Cristina and her family. Paola and Andry.

We stayed for 5 nights with the intention of relaxing and resting. We could not have found a better place and people than Il Podere dell'Imperatore and Cristina and Vittorio who manage it. Saying that everything is amazing is an understatement. The central location compared to Elba (inland from Portoferraio) allows you to reach any Elban location in the same amount of time. The structure is new, the rooms are tastefully furnished and have everything you could need. Cristina is a discreet but very efficient presence, and her breakfasts are a spectacle to envy the most renowned hotels. If, like us, you love animals, then this is the ideal place. Two dogs, two cats, two sheep, ducks, geese, rooster, hens, turkey, and the goose Guendalina and her group of 6 adopted ducklings. Thank you for everything and goodbye because we will definitely return.

The two two-room apartments are brand new, super clean, and furnished with great taste and attention to detail. The breakfast is excellent, complete with fabulous homemade cakes and freshly squeezed juices. Cristina and her family, the managers, are friendly and welcoming, very helpful, and full of attention. If you love animals, there is no better place: in addition to the 3 dogs (oh, no, Giendalina is a goose) and the 2 kittens, there are 2 sheep, some roosters (but they don't sing in the morning, you sleep magnificently) and even real mallards!
