Location & what to see

LA SCALINATA is situated along the characteristic Salita del Falcone, in the heart of the historic centre of Portoferraio, the main gateway and historical emblem of Elba Island. The property is set in a quiet, panoramic residential area, located a very short distance from the Medicean ramparts overlooking the promontory. This location offers scenic views of the town’s ancient architecture and allows guests to walk to both the island’s most emblematic historic monuments and the pristine bathing coves along the north coast.

Just a 150-metre walk away lies the wonderful Le Viste beach, renowned for its colourful pebbles and clear turquoise waters. Also 250 metres from the guest house stand the impressive Medicean Fortresses and the famous Villa dei Mulini, official residence of Napoleon Bonaparte. Continuing west along the coast, the picturesque Padulella beach is about 1.1 km away, while the splendid Sansone beach is 4 km away. For those wishing to explore Napoleonic history, the Villa di San Martino country estate is 5 km away, while Marina di Campo Airport is just 9 km from the property.

The geographical context allows guests to fully experience Elban life in every season: in the summer months it is easy to alternate relaxing sunbathing with dinners at typical restaurants overlooking the Darsena Medicea. In the shoulder seasons, Portoferraio becomes the perfect base for trekking the trails of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, which extends 4.2 km away, or for planning trips to the western side of the island up to the Monte Capanne cable car 23 km away. Easy travel by car and proximity to ferries complete a highly convenient logistical picture.
