Winter holidays on the Island of Elba

Elba is the ideal place for a fantastic holiday all year round: just choose from exquisite cuisine and first class wine, touring the tiny towns and villages rich in culture and traditions, and the truly suggestive natural environment, and you can be certain of a holiday you will never forget.

Without a doubt each and every tiny town and village on the island, each with its own unique traditions and customs, is well worth a visit. Whether they are set like precious jewels in the hills or overlooking the sea, you will be enchanted by the narrow lanes and alleys with plants and flowers on either side.

But Elba is also rich in artistic beauty, historical places, fortresses and churches that you can visit all year round because they are all in perfect condition. Not only that, history tells us that there are often important, special events on the island, where people of different nationalities meet and leave clear traces of their presence there. You will be pleasantly surprised to know that you can more or less go anywhere on the island, and that the museums and mines are open all year round.

Needless to say the Island of Elba grants you a breathtaking, natural environment as well as several possibilities for sports lovers, enabling them to always have a good time, and make new friends while practising their favourire outdoor sport with the sea all around; all this is possible thanks to a mild climate all year round, because even in winter it is never very cold, and the weather is more often sunny than rainy. Although it is often windy, sometimes very windy indeed, the conformation of the coastline allows many areas to remain sheltered regardless of where you are.

And don't forget that having a holiday in the winter means you can also take advantage of prices that are much lower than in summer; not only that of the cost of the ferry tickets but also that if you stay in one of the hotels open all year round or in one of the holiday homes that you can rent even in the winter, or in a B&B, in a holiday farmhouse or in one of the residences on the island that are always open.
