Hotel Paradiso Elba is the ideal starting point to set off and discover the landscapes, trails, and villages that will reveal the soul of the island.
Below you can find the maps of the beautiful trekking routes available at Elba Island:
A spectacular promontory connected to the island by a thin isthmus: two beaches on the sides and a nature that blends with history. Inhabited by the Tuna Fishery (Tonnara) until the 1950s, Enfola was transformed into a fortified base during World War II. Today, it hosts a panoramic trail that runs all around the promontory: easy to walk and full of breathtaking views.
A must-do stop for those who love to be active outdoors. The route starts from Viticcio and runs along the sea to the beaches of Forno, Scaglieri, and the well-known Biodola. The walk is immersed in the Mediterranean scrub, amidst the scent of pine trees and mastic.
Just 4 km from the hotel is Portoferraio, the island's main town. Here you can breathe in an irresistible mix of history, culture, and local life. The Medicean ramparts erected by the will of Cosimo I de' Medici have dominated the city since 1548, while the nineteenth-century traces of Napoleon's passage make every corner unique.
• The Roman itinerary, with the Villa della Linguella, the Villa delle Grotte, and the Archaeological Museum.
• The Medicean itinerary, between Forte Stella, Forte Falcone, and the Torre della Linguella.
• The Napoleonic itinerary, with the Villa dei Mulini, the Villa di San Martino, the Teatro dei Vigilanti, and the Chiesa della Misericordia.
Portoferraio is a lively city, with boutiques and venues where you can stop for an aperitivo, and a marina that is always animated.
