Holiday houses on Elba & holiday apartments on Elba

Escape to a perfect holiday home on beautiful Elba

A holiday apartment is where you'll want to base yourself when you visit Tuscany's most impressive island, because there are so many beautiful spots to park you and your family for a replenishing, relaxing getaway. However, a holiday home also offers the comfort and freedom to explore some of Elba's other attractions, from crystalline beaches to ancient churches to seafood sensations. Book quickly to snap up your perfect flat, then look forward to a slow, relaxing holiday in the sun.

Beach bliss with a holiday home - and you're spoilt for choice

Elba is the largest island in the Tuscan archipelago, and it has dozens of diverse beaches of world-class standards. If you want bright golden sands and turquoise waters, nestle into a holiday apartment on horseshoe-shaped Marina di Campo and soak up stunning morning views. If you prefer a secluded cove where the ocean and forested hills basically kiss, then rent a holiday home at Capoliveri, while if you want something truly out-of-the-way,then plant yourself at Nisporto Beach in Rio nell'Elba, where a calm, flat beach belies the staggering views from high hills nearby.

Book a trip back in time - or to food and wine

Elba boasts a disproportionate number of cultural and historical attractions for a single island, a result of the countless civilisations that have passed through this vital Mediterranean settlement over millennia - all of which, of course, have left their mark on the culinary scene. The best place to base yourself for true cultural immersion is a holiday apartment in Portoferraio, Elba's capital city and a bustling web of old streets, cathedrals and spectacular fish markets. Heading inland reveals diverse landscapes perfect for hiking, cycling or simply admiring some hill-top views, but it's also home to some of Tuscany's finest wineries and authentic restaurants. For history buffs there are countless historic churches to visit, and even the seasonal homes of Emperor Napoleon during his time in exile.
