Location & what to see

Hotel Paradiso stands along the north-western coast of Elba Island, set in the natural backdrop of the Gulf of Viticcio, a sheltered bay characterised by clear waters and cliffs covered in Mediterranean scrub. The area is known for its quietness and provides immediate access to the famous white pebble and shingle beaches that dot this stretch of the Portoferraio coastline.

The property is approximately 5 kilometres from the main port of Portoferraio, the arrival point for ferries from Piombino, and just 6 kilometres from Marina di Campo Airport. In the immediate surroundings of the property, several renowned coves can be reached on foot: the famous Sansone Beach is located 400 metres away, while the Enfola headland and beach are just 700 metres away. Around 1.8 km away lie the wide sandy bays of Biodola and Scaglieri.
