We couldn’t have asked for a kinder and more attentive host in Francesca; I’d recommend her locations to friends/family and wouldn’t hesitate to come back! She was warm and responsive in her communications from beginning to end (which made her stand out from other hosts when I was searching for a place and had questions up front). She lives nearby as well so is able to respond quickly if something pops up. The house is 1 of 3 in a cluster on a plot of land there, with everyone having their own patio space. The outdoor space being the best part, places to have your meals outside, lounge chairs, a wood-fired oven (!). If you need to do laundry, the area where the clothes line is lined with a wall of jasmine flowers, so you might find yourself wanting to linger a while. The inside was clean and well kept, the beds comfortable, shower pressure was good. Note there is no living room space, which we found ourselves outdoors so much we didn’t mind. The kitchen is minimal but worked for the light cooking we did. The house is in walking distance to a nearby beach, the port, and gelato, etc.

It is a very friendly and very clean apartment. The garden and private area is very beautiful. It is closed to a nice, small beach and also to the city. You need a car to shop in the grocery. Francesca is very friendly and open for all your questions. She answers very fast, when you need something. We felt very comfortable and welcomed in her house. It was a wonderful holiday! Thanks a lot :-))

Een mooi, ruim en schoon huis op een prima locatie. Heel fijn dat er airco aanwezig is. Privé parking bij het huis. Het strand is op loopafstand. Huis is mooier dan op de foto’s! Elba is een prachtig, groen eiland met mooie stranden en leuke dorpjes. Echt de moeite waard.

Matteo’s and Francesca’s place was simply amazing. It really made our stay in Elba island special. I guess we will never forget how well we felt at their place. For us is undoubtedly a 5 star rating! 100% recommended. Check-in, check-out were perfectly arranged also according to our needs. Communication with the host was smooth and effective throughout the entire process . The house (a portion of an amazing villa in Portoferraio) was way beyond our expectation. Stylish, super clean, comfortable, and fully equipped with all you can possibly need (air-conditioning, TV, strong wifi, garden, patio, barbecue, private parking etc.). Superb location, close to Portoferraio (main harbour in the island) yet in a very quite and green residential area. Walking distance (15 min) from shops/restaurants and most importantly literally 2 min walking distance from what I believe are among the most beautiful beaches in the island. The so called white beaches like Padulella, Cala dei Frati, Sottobomba etc. It is also a very strategic location to use as a base to explore this wonderful island. I know reviews should also speak about cons, but we really could not find one. One suggestion… if you ever stay at this place try to wake up early at least one morning during your staying and simply walk down to the Padullella beach….you will enjoy one of the most beautiful swim ever.

Wir können das Haus bestens weiterempfehlen. Super Lage, schnell zu Fuss an unglaublich schönen Stränden und in der Stadt. Das Haus und der Umschwung waren viel grösser als erwartet. Viel Platz für die ganze Familie. Es war alles da, was man braucht. Vielen Dank!
