Elba is a big and beautiful island, famous also for beeing the Napoleon residence until 1815; it lies in the Thyrrenian Sea, 10 kms off the Tuscan coast, connected to the port of Piombino with a ferryboat from Portoferraio in an hour journey.
The island is very big and varied: in the south you can see sunny
beaches, while in the northern part you find wooded slopes, with
chestnut-trees and holm-oaks.
The Elba Island is part of the protected marine park of the Tuscan Archipelago and has developed a very good touristic organization. |
|
Villa EVA is in the area of Poggio Marciana, a medieval village
about 40 minutes from Portoferraio's port, at 350 m altitude, and
5 km from Marciana Marina public beaches.
The characteristic village of Poggio is only 5 minutes walking from
the villa; its old granite paved streets have been built like concentric
rings around St. Niccolò Church, standing on the highest
part of the village. Poggio has excellent restaurants, bars and
food stores. 2 km away there is the cableway to Mount Capanne, from
where you can enjoy a wonderful view of the whole island of Elba
and Tuscan archipelago.

Villa Eva stands in a chestnuts, pines and holm-oaks wood.
The view from the house
is very charming: on one side the view to the old Poggio village
and to the highest top of the island, the Mount Capanne (1019 meters), on the other the sea, with
Marciana Marina, the bay of Fenicia and the headland of Enfola,
while in the distance you see Leghorn coast.

| Villa
EVA consists of 2 independent apartments.
The MAIN has a large lounge with panoramic view,
a spacious terrace facing the sea, a well equipped kitchen with
dishwasher, a double and a twin bedroom and a bathroom with bath.
A stone BBQ is out of the entrance.
|
 |
 |
The SMALLER apartment is used from time to time
by the owners who live in the Chianti area. A washing-machine
outside is shared. Poggio Marciana area is ideal for wonderful
walks, even through CAI (Italian Alpine Club) paths.
|
|
A visit to Marciana Marina should include the Promenade from the
Cotone (a natural shelter) to the 12th Century Saracen Tower, a
fortification built among the others to defend the Elba island from
invaders over the centuries.
All year round many events take place on the island: visitors will
have the chance to see antique regattas on the sea, as well as the
Napoleon commemoration day in April, or all sorts of religious processions
and sports marathons through the uncontaminated nature. |
