Description

The birth of al 28 B&B stems from a desire: for that grand apartment on the 1st floor of Via Carducci 28 to continue telling the story of the Mazzei & Bartolini family. After a careful renovation - in its structure but not in its soul and essence - "al 28 B&B" comes to life in May 2017. Strategically and centrally located, near the Medici fortresses and just a few steps away from the renowned Ghiaie beach, it is a prestigious apartment situated on the first floor of an early 20th-century building. In the renovation, we sought to preserve its uniqueness by blending the vintage charm of some long-standing furnishings with more modern ones, creating a truly personal environment: eccentric, unconventional, and eclectic.

My name is Barbara, I enjoy traveling and taking care of things and people. I had a dream to keep my grandparents' large apartment alive, and so, together with my family, we brought "al 28" to life; a big family home where we can continue to spend happy moments.

Barbara and Andrea are perfect hosts,attentive and responsive to their guests' needs. The property is located right in the center of Portoferraio,so very convenient for reaching magnificent beaches such as Le Ghiaie and La Padulella. Excellent cleanliness and great breakfast.

The structure is located close to the historic center, just a few steps from the departures for the mainland. The building from the early 1900s has been recently renovated, preserving the coverings and furnishings of the past with various contemporary touches, making the overall atmosphere quite pleasant and welcoming. The rooms are new, spacious, and equipped with all the amenities of a 4-star hotel. The breakfast is excellent, with homemade yogurt and jams and high-quality raw materials. The hosts welcomed us upon arrival and were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

I add to the 10 the praise. Two simply fantastic days. Everything perfect: the location, the organization, the atmosphere, the hospitality, the generosity, the cleanliness, the services offered. Barbera and Andrea really carry out this activity with passion, they fully make the common areas of the apartment (two terraces, a large well-equipped kitchen, the dining room) available and manage wonderfully to make the guest feel at home. Congratulations. See you soon.

Small but delightful B&B. Exceptional breakfast. It is very convenient to have access to the kitchen if you want a coffee or herbal tea with cookies when you return after a day out. The location is great, near the port and the bus station. The proximity to the wonderful Ghiaia beach is also excellent. And what can I say about the owners? Competent, helpful, always smiling. What more could you want.

I had a short but very nice stay at B&B Al 28. I was warmly welcomed and felt really comfortable. My room was beautiful, well equipped with an air conditioning, strong Wi-Fi, a TV, a couch, a big comfortable bed, a kettle and decorated with loving attention to detail. Also in the bathroom I could find everything I needed, like a hairdryer and enough towels. I could also use the kitchen and take prepared sweet snacks (like muffins and croissants) and water. The kitchen contained also a coffee machine, a kettle, a microwave and a toaster for free use. Everything was very clean. I was already in contact with Barbara, the owner, before my stay and she gave me advice concerning parking. There was also the possibility to arrive at the accommodation in the morning and leave the luggage there if the room was not yet ready. All in all my stay was enjoyable, easy and uncomplicated.

I had the pleasure of staying at this B&B, which exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we arrived, the owners made us feel right at home. They are truly special people, ready to welcome you with a smile and meet your every need with great attention and care. The B&B is a real gem: tastefully furnished and attention to detail, every corner exudes warmth and familiarity. The cleanliness is impeccable, which made our stay even more enjoyable and relaxing. But the real surprise was the breakfast! A rich and varied buffet, with fresh and local products, delighted us every morning. There’s no better way to start the day! If you’re looking for a place to feel pampered and rejuvenated, this Al 28 B&B is definitely the right choice. I highly recommend staying here: not only for the beauty of the structure but especially for the family atmosphere and the hospitality of the owners, which make every stay an unforgettable experience. A place to return whenever possible.

Everything was wonderful, from the apartment itself, to the room, to the breakfast, to the owners. We only stayed one night, but we will definitely come back: despite the short stay, we were welcomed by the sweetness and availability of the owners; the breakfast is abundant with homemade products (delicious cake, dreamy) and more, available both sweet and savory breakfast, delicious cappuccino and juice. Two amazing touches in our opinion: kitchen always available, with some snacks to eat at any time, and the possibility to use the 'blue bathroom' even after check-out. Congratulations for everything, thank you thank you thank you! We hope to see you soon. Sara and Laura.

My partner and I were welcomed by Barbara and Andrea in this huge apartment. The room and the bathroom were very clean, the modern furniture, comfortable bed and pillows. The breakfast was always plentiful and of quality, Barbara's mother makes excellent cakes, a different one every day. The location is strategic, close to the pebble beach, very beautiful and not too crowded and just close enough to the port (the ferries are not annoying, but they are 5 minutes away). If you need advice on where to eat or which beaches to visit, they are available to give suggestions. When I return to Elba, I will definitely go to them.

It is curated in every detail, furnished with originality and style. The room is very spacious, we stayed in the Boheme. The terrace is beautiful, where you can enjoy a great and abundant breakfast with delicacies like biscuits, jams, homemade yogurt.... and much more. The owners are courteous, kind, and know how to make the stay unforgettable. Thank you!!! Highly recommended.

We spent 3 nights in this wonderful B&B. As soon as we entered, it felt like being at grandma's house thanks to the new furniture with references to the past years. The whole place is managed by Barbara and her husband, two really nice and very sunny people, they recommended many places to eat and which beach to go to, I would say they hit the nail on the head. Breakfast is mostly made with homemade products. The atmosphere is very convivial, a strong point is also the terrace where breakfast is served, where you can meet other guests. I could add a thousand more positive things, but I conclude by saying that it will always be the first choice to go to Elba. Thanks Barbara and Andrea and see you soon!

The place is located near the port, in the center of Portoferraio. It is very calm, very nicely decorated and very cozy. The breakfast was fantastic: almost everything was prepared by our host. I will remember the cappuccino, the best I have ever had! And, last but not least, a word for our host who has been very kind to us. I can only be thankful to her for our stay in Elba. If I have the opportunity to come back to Portoferraio, I will certainly choose the 28 B&B.

anna

In the following grid there is a list of reasons why I might have liked the property, but the reason why Al 28 B&B conquered me is missing: love. In every detail there is so much love and passion and also so much respect. Respect in the care of cleanliness and hygiene (not a speck of dust, everything shines), and in the kindness with which guests are welcomed and taken care of throughout their stay, a discreet presence that is not noticeable except in the comforts provided as if one were at home and also in the management that leaves nothing to chance to make the stay more comfortable. Love in what is offered and in how it is offered, breakfast becomes a moment of pampering that sees Barbara offering many delicacies made at home by her but especially by her mother, who delights us every day with amazing cakes, all genuine products like Andrea's figs used to make one of the many delicious jams offered. Love in the grace with which Barbara and Andrea interact with their guests giving themselves without barriers and making them feel like family from the start. Love in preserving the grandmother's house and offering it to all of us, but intact to keep the memory alive which is evident from the care with which every detail of the splendid antique furniture is offered to customers, and the terraces that retain that ancient charm and become oases of peace. Passion that shines through their eyes full of light like those of their beautiful daughters who, together with their dear grandmother, help with obvious involvement in the tasks and make Al 28 B&B a unique and beautiful experience to live.

stayed from 08/21/2022 to 08/28/2022

The answer from the host:
Anna mi hai commosso. Grazie per le belle parole che hai speso per noi e che condivido immediatamente con il resto della famiglia. L'amore è sempre uno scambio, si dà quello che si riceve. Grazie per averci donato il tuo.

stefano

I stayed at Al 28 B&B in the middle weeks of August. Very strategic location, close to the center of Portoferraio and the beautiful beaches in the north of the island. The structure is very well-kept and clean, breakfast in line with the tradition of the best Bed and Breakfasts, with homemade cakes, jams, and yogurt! The kitchen is also available to guests to have other meals. Barbara and her husband are nice and very helpful. We really enjoyed our stay.

A splendid bed and breakfast managed with passion and love! 10 fantastic days, pampered by Barbara and Andrea, caring and super kind. Beautiful and spacious room, everything taken care of in the smallest details! Splendid terrace where to have the varied, tasty and abundant breakfast. Another gem, coffee and sweets always available for guests. Strategic point to tour the island and convenient to supermarkets and restaurants. Thank you from the heart Barbara and Andrea, we were divine and we recommend to everyone to choose you for their stay on the wonderful Island of Elba! We hope to see you soon!

This place was absolutely lovely, and so was the host. The check in/out was smooth, and the location is perfect. You have access to a kitchen all day and a great breakfast in the morning. I definitely recommend!

A gem in front of the port of Portoferraio. For me and my friends, it was the last stop of the Great Elban Crossing and we found everything we were looking for: hospitality, comfort, elegance of the structure, attention to detail, a rich and varied breakfast, and the pleasure of exchanging a few words with Barbara and Andrea. Until next time.

Kindness, hospitality, cleanliness. Unfortunately, a few days of stay, but we will return to the island and to this B&B that made us feel at home. Impeccable management, care and love of the place that was not at all obvious to find at these levels. Thank you again, we were positively amazed. Long live the island of Elba and the people who love it and who contribute to making it loved like you.

In this structure you can feel the family atmosphere. The old house of Barbara's grandmother is restored with the taste and passion of those who live in modernity but want to preserve the beauties of the past. Barbara, the owner, the daughter, and the mother are very helpful, present but not intrusive. The breakfast is genuine and varied. The location is central and strategic. Departing guests are given the key to the "Blue Bathroom", a bathroom equipped with towels and bath products to allow refreshing before boarding. A simple but much appreciated service.

Fantastic B&B! Great location, well cared for in every detail. Very kind and helpful owner. Impeccable cleanliness. A stone's throw from the ferry embarkation and the most beautiful beaches on the island. Highly recommended.

Al 28 B&B is a truly welcoming accommodation, carefully cared for in every detail. Moreover, the host is very kind and always available! The location is great, especially if you choose to move around on foot, the port is reached in a few minutes and there are beautiful beaches in the surroundings.

marco

The stay at Al 28 B&B was very pleasant, Barbara managed to create a very welcoming atmosphere where no detail was overlooked. The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful with a certain variety. As a base for visiting the island, it is very convenient. Furthermore, the location is also strategic for dining and strolling in Portoferraio in the evening.

A splendid stay! It will be our reference point for our future stays on the island of Elba. The friendliness of the owners combined with their professionalism is excellent. The rating given (10) would be worth it just to have breakfast outside on the terrace with a 5-star luxury hotel selection. Thanks again for this wonderful vacation.

We are 3 guys who stayed for 5 days in this splendid accommodation. Very central location and close to the best beaches is just one of the reasons why you shouldn't miss staying here. The room, breakfast, and the place do not make the difference, they are still excellent, but the owners' couple showed a sensitivity and an ability to make you feel at home like no other. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Greetings from Alex, Andrea, and Emanuele.

The beautiful terrace where you can enjoy an excellent breakfast and moments of relaxation is greatly appreciated, as well as the kitchen and laundry facilities available. But above all, the friendliness and sympathy of Barbara, Andrea, and the girls leave a mark and deserve much more than just a visit. Absolutely worth a try!

We stayed for three nights at the B&B Al 28 and it was an experience that I feel like recommending to everyone. The environments are very well-kept, the rooms comfortable and the management of Barbara and her family ensures that every detail is not left to chance: from the very rich breakfast, to the furnishing of the structure and the kindness and availability shown for every request. Staying at B&B Al 28 is really like choosing to feel at home, on vacation... it perfectly embodies the spirit of the bed and breakfast as such.

laura

We have never found a bed and breakfast cleaner and more welcoming than this for our stays. Dedication and commitment are felt everywhere, in the breakfast preparation, in the organization of the structure, and in the friendliness and hospitality throughout the entire stay. The room is beautiful and comfortable, as is the breakfast with different proposals every day: nothing is missing. The structure is very close to the port and it is not difficult to find parking in the area. The beaches of Portoferraio are very beautiful, but reaching others is not difficult because you can easily get to the other side of the island in about an hour and a half. Highly recommended!

We stayed during the barter week and had a lovely long weekend. Brand new structure, well furnished, close to the center of Portoferraio and the ferry arrival. Carefully decorated rooms, warm and with everything needed for maximum comfort. Extremely kind, friendly and super helpful owners, abundant breakfast with delicious homemade cakes and cookies by Barbara. We felt at home and it will definitely be our choice for the next holidays on the island of Elba. Highly recommended!

The B&B Al 28 is located just a few minutes walk from both the port and the old town - ideal for travelers using public transport. The rooms of the spacious apartment are very tastefully and lovingly renovated, and the hosts are very friendly and accommodating. It's a pity we only spent one night there.

I stayed at Al 28 B&B last week. I was in Portoferraio for personal reasons and I was welcomed by Barbara and Andrea with discretion and great professionalism. The house is elegant, very well furnished, attention to details, and spacious. The location is strategic. The breakfast is abundant, varied, and attentive to the guests' needs. The kitchen is available all day with coffee, tea, and excellent pastries prepared by Barbara. The owners are professional and discreet. Thank you very much, Barbara. Simonetta.

The structure is very close to the port of Portoferraio, so very convenient to reach, the welcome is very familiar, everyone is very nice and courteous, cleanliness is a strong point, if I were to return to Portoferraio I will not fail to contact the structure for a room, certainly to be recommended.

virginia

An absolute delight to stay at the B&B with Barbara and Andrea. They are wonderful, friendly, helpful hosts. We appreciated their personal touches and no request was a problem. The breakfast was delicious, scrumptious home baking and the use of the kitchen at any time was helpful as we often bought food back and sat outside on the terrace. The bed linen is high quality and the bathroom spotless. I cannot fault our stay. It was perfect. Thank you and all the best Barbara and Andrea.

Strategic location, rich and varied breakfast, rooms with a carefully designed and well-crafted details; accurate and excellent cleanliness. Al 28 B&B is managed by Barbara and Andrea who make their guests feel at home, but with the discretion that only the most pleasant owners can have. Always present, but never intrusive, Barbara is helpful and smiling every time you meet her in the corridors of the property managed with passion and love. Much more than recommended to experience what it means nostalgia for a place. Thank you.

Two days on the island of Elba, cold but fantastic where the mountain and the sea meet. At Al 28 B&B it's like being at home, delicious cake, courtesy, and fantastic rest. A meticulously curated antique and modern decor made with taste, the works with unique bottle caps.

Our experience at 28 B&B was absolutely fantastic. Situated a stone's throw from the historic center of Portoferraio, very close to the Molo, in a beautiful building. The apartment is wonderful, recently renovated, it boasts a timeless design with a perfect combination of ancient and modern. Everything is taken care of in the smallest details and with a thousand attentions, you can feel the affection of the owners for that place full of memories. The welcome is warm and familiar, Barbara and Andrea are personified cordiality! Excellent breakfast and cleanliness. What else to say, we will return again, goodbye! Giulia and Daniele.

I stayed here with my boyfriend for a couple of days but I would have gladly stayed longer. Barbara is amazingly kind, she made me feel comfortable right away and was always extremely helpful from arrival to departure. The B&B is located just a short walk from the Portoferraio embarkations and equally close to the bus station with connections throughout the island. The structure is in a great location, also brand new, the room very spacious, equipped with all possible comforts and with a very comfortable bed! Highly recommended.

I booked two nights at Al 28 B&B to give a birthday gift to a friend who had never visited Elba. And what can I say, from the beginning I could notice the availability of the managers, as I called them late at night! As soon as we arrived, we met Barbara who showed us the house and made us feel at ease. The brand new structure is inside a historic building and offers every kind of comfort. The optimal location, right in the center (maximum 2 minutes walk from the port and 5 from the center), allows you to move on foot without having to take the car. The room, furnished with care and attention to detail, is very clean and with all the comforts you could ask for. The bathroom is a gem. A wonderful terrace where you can have breakfast or enjoy a moment of relaxation outdoors completes everything. The fresh, abundant breakfast, catering to all tastes, is truly exquisite. We will definitely return to this bed and breakfast, different from the usual accommodation facilities, as we immediately felt at home, pampered by the kindness and details that Barbara and her husband had the foresight to notice and take care of. Details that make the difference. 10 out of 10.

giulia

I have been to Portoferraio with two friends for three days. The B&B of Barbara is very nice and welcoming, and the decor is very well taken care of. Great location, a stone's throw from the port and a few minutes from the Ghiaie beach. The room we took, the Boheme, was large and comfortable. The only downside is the location, overlooking the main street which is a bit noisy. Barbara, the owner, was very kind, on the last day she allowed us to use the room until 5 pm at no additional cost. Recommended.
