We stayed for a week this past summer and hit a different beach every day, so the central location was great.  The pool is a nice to have amenity.   We thought the staff was a little cold at first, but very helpful and more and more friendly  as the week went on :)

The effort that was put into the mid-week buffet was much appreciated by everyone and the food was very good.    The rooms are a bit dated but clean.   It wasn't a wow hotel, but I'd still recommend it because  of the reasonable price, location, pool and restaurant.   I really think the staff is  doing their best and overall we really enjoyed our  stay.   Who gives a sh*&%t if the WIFI doesn't work that well...  you're on vacation folks, read a book by the pool.

Great location to visit the island.

Huge swimming pool which was empty most of the time. Lovely grounds, nice big apartment with two rooms and even a small kitchen! Very helpful staff!  We especially enjoyed a Wednesday night with a live musician and a pizza night!

Huge swimming pool!

An old structure with a very nice pool (where I've never been). We choose an apartment for 2 adults and 2 children thinking that a small kitchen would have been useful for our stay. Unfortunately the kitchen was useless given its minuscule size (fitted inside a wardrobe!) and we used only the refrigerator. Rooms are decent but would benefit from a refurbish. Cleaning is NOT included in the price but bath towels are changed every three days. Please note that you'll need a car anytime since the road where the hotel is located it's NOT usable otherwise.

Cheap accommodation.

I’ve been very disappointed by different aspects of this property.
First and foremost disrespect of the Anti-Covid norms that must be followed now.
The receptionist that greeted us did not wear the mask and she did not take it even when we arrived and talked to us and showed our rooms.
I saw cleaning personnel going into rooms without masks
At the restaurant some of the waiters took their mask on the chin while not serving at the table, but still working on food.

It’s clear that there’s no one checking and directing the staff correctly 

The restaurant is to forget.
You should not book an half-board or full- board as you would have so little choice in the food that is much better to go out and have some serious dinner
The service is terribly slow as they will go through the order of the courses, main and second, for all the table even if you’re having only the second.
So you’re going to wait that all the tables had their first course
I got my dish “cold” and left it 
The room was quite fine but had some “spot” to be better cleaned 

I won’t come again

Forget restaurant

My boyfriend and I booked a hotel here for two nights. The room looked very old, the wifi didn't work, it wasn't what we had expected from the pictures. Then during check-out they made us pay double the price per night, they claimed we had to pay the price per person per night, and not per room. We basically payed the price for a four star hotel, but this place is not worth more than two stars! Don't go to this place, it's terrible! 

They made is pay double, don't go to this place! 

We booked this hotel fooled by the photos. The rooms are infest with mosquitos, and look worse than camping accommodation. 

The hotel manager is utterly helpful and borders on being uncouth. Apart from being racist and rude. When we complained about the AC not working, she suggested that we may not know how to operate one! When we asked about no handwashing soap in the loos, we were given a sachet of liquid douching soap! And when we complained about the mosquitos we were handed a spray can of DDT!

We arrived around 6 pm, and we were made to feel so unwelcome, we left at 8.30 pm, and left Elba by the last boat out. They shamelessly charged us for one night even though the hotel facilities were not up to scratch. And when we complained (we took the trouble to have our letter translated in Italian, because the owner knows no English apparently), they wrote back saying our expectations were too high.

At over 150 Euros a night we think we might deserve to see hand washing soap in the bathroom.

The worst hotel we have ever experienced. DO NOT GO HERE.

it took me very long time to write this review, I stayed here last August, for a week.

The hotel matches completely all my needs and was exactly how we expected based on other review, but the whole vacation has been ruined by the staff, absolutely incompetent  and arrogant.

To finish I'll give them another chance this year, perhaps they had a bad week...............

Nice place ruined by bad manager

Expensive for a total lack of atmosphere. Breakfast was unbelievably bad. 
Nice big pool and the room was fine. 
Town is walkable distance-wise but inappropriate along busy roads with no pavements.
