Location & what to see

Aethalia Bed and Breakfast is located in Località Albereto, a quiet residential area situated on the outskirts of Portoferraio, in the north-central part of Elba Island. The location allows guests to experience the tranquility of the Elba countryside while remaining very close to the most famous coves of the northern coast. About 1.4 km away is the famous Sansone Beach, characterized by white pebbles and crystal-clear waters, while Padulella Beach is less than 1.8 km from the property.
