I stayed only 2 nights at the end of July, but I will definitely return to enjoy more of this enchanting property. The real luxury here is the class without extravagance and ostentation, it is the blatant beauty of the essential understood as nature: views that impress the sight, the symposium of delicate notes on the terrace from the manager's piano and the skillful hands of various artists, the fragrances of purple, lilac, white flowers in the hanging garden where you can enjoy a good breakfast and excellent aperitifs with a view of the Gulf. The staff's delicacy is absolutely discreet, helpful, and professional. Barman Davide recommends drinks enriched with local botanicals like the amazing Mojito dell'Elba, the Sound Americano with selected Vermouth, and many others. Saverio is a character and a musician of excellence, the same manager Davide amazes with his eclectic nature that also sees him intoning atmospheric pieces on the piano during the terrace aperitifs. The whole ensemble has the flavor of a literary-artistic circle transposed into the modernity of our times with the comfort of a spacious, bright, airy room (we didn't even need the air conditioning despite having it available), clean and in my case with a view of the sea and the greenery of the island that cannot be described. The furniture from the '900 that recalls a bit of Art Deco (reductive to call it vintage) blends perfectly with the high ceilings with rosette and the large windows that give light and air. Even in the bathroom, there are retro-style elements like the brass mixer with a waterfall spout, perhaps a bit maintenance-intensive but I liked it a lot and the water flow was just right. Simple shower with a uniform and pleasant jet, all very functional, the windowsill is so wide that it also serves as a support surface. The beds are comfortable. Finally, Davide, the manager, gave us valuable tips on the most beautiful coastal stretches and places to eat. On the first evening, you can walk to the center of the village around the corner, full of artisan shops and more modern stores, music from the square's stage, people (of all ages and with a festivity reminiscent of "Saturday in the Village"). Another strong point is staying in an oasis of peace while being able to reach the center on foot in a few minutes, with all the services, not to mention the space for the motorcycle. The value for money is 10, the minimum. I sincerely thank Davide, a delightful and welcoming person. See you soon!
