Vacation rentals near Mineral Park of Elba Island

Sylvia helped us find our way. Me with little Italian (but I do try) her English was perfect. The galley is perfect and well stocked. Perfect for making romantic meals for our anniversary trip. Groceries just up a block so shopping made way on the island STAY HERE! You won’t regret it!

Capoliveri reminds me of Matera, but with sweeping views of the sea. It's also how Vernazza once was 20+ years ago. This town is historical, CLEAN, architecturally beautiful, pedestrian friendly, bursting with flowers and planters where people from all over the island seem to gravitate - it is not isolated. and yet, it is not a fabricated gated Disney, thank goodness. This apartment is perfectly situated & outfitted in such a European way - engineered & designed intelligently with good esthetics. The views from every room are stellar - even the loft allows you to see out the french doors. Views of the church steeple from the bedroom, the town from the living room, the sea from the kitchen. Take your pick from the patios. Communication with hosts is easy & quick. We wasted money on a 3-day bus pass and after one day decided to rent a car to have freedom and time to see what we wanted, when we wanted, and as fast as we wanted - you're not in Rome with busses every couple minutes going in every direction. We worked out a very close parking spot with owners.The town is so beautiful - the art, laid back social feel, and in Italian fashion - family friendly. Capoliveri wakes up early with shops and bakeries and music and the church bells and people visiting. Then as traditional Italian towns do, Capoliveri takes its siesta to remind you to rest before it wakes up in the evening for great socializing. No question, we would stay in this apartment again.

What a special place for relaxing and enjoying Italy!

This is a hidden treasure – a bit of paradise! We had the most delightful holiday retreat at this cottage on the hillside overlooking our own small beach. The hosts, Luigi & Simone made us feel very welcome. They provided helpful suggestions about making reservations for the ferry to the island months ahead of time. Check in was easy. They were waiting for us on the beach with the keys and a cold drink! The apartment was spotlessly clean. The house handled our group of 4 adults and 2 boys very well. The weather was wonderful so we had all the meals that we prepared ourselves out on the porch. The private overlook deck that was just steps away for the house had amazing views! We enjoyed many morning coffees and lovely sunsets there. From the house there was a private path down to the beach just for our use. At the bottom of the path there were beach umbrellas and beach chairs for us to use all week! Plus, the wonderful bonus of a very good restaurant right there on the beach. We had dinner there 3 evenings as well as a few lunches and snack stops. The island has charming towns with heart stopping vistas as one traverses up & down the mountain sides but we were delighted to spend most of our time enjoying this private treasure.
