With direct access to Padulella Beach, this villa guarantees a memorable stay on the island of Elba. Outdoor living is encouraged here, thanks to the summer kitchen complete with a wood oven, infinity pool and a covered terrace overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. There’s a rustic approach to the interiors, which we find charming, and we love the sunken Jacuzzi in the main bedroom. Hiring a car is recommended if you fancy exploring the island – let your first stop be Portoferraio, a six-minute drive away.

Home truths
We recommend hiring a car for ease of exploring the island.
The swimming pool (open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October) isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times. Your host can provide a cot and high chair upon request.
At capacity, two guests will sleep in the bunk bed on the veranda – we think this arrangement is better suited for children.
