About this villa rental
The Villa Le Grotte, independent and for up to 8 guests, is located directly on the sea in front of the Gulf of Portoferraio with a large terrace overlooking the sea with table, chairs, sun loungers, umbrellas for unforgettable outdoor holidays by the sea.
The Villa lies in the ‘Golfo delle Grotte’, with a suggestive view of Portoferraio and its Medici Fortresses and a few steps from the archaeological site of an ancient Roman villa. From the nearby little beach, a jetty allows the mooring of small boats and a characteristic round wooden platform, directly over the water, with sun beds and umbrellas, are available for the guests of the villa.
The lower level of the villa offers guests a large living room (with a sofa bed) and a dining area with sea view. From the living room and the dining area you reach the terrace through a large sliding window door. On the same level there is also a double bedroom and a bathroom with shower.
3 steps only are leading to an upper level where guests find a fully equipped kitchen, a double bedroom and a bedroom with two single beds as well as an additional bathroom with shower.
Portoferraio with its port, the Calata, restaurants, bars, shops, boutiques, markets, summer events is less than 10 minutes away by car. But also the famous villages of the island of Elba such as Capoliveri and Porto Azzurro can be reached in less than 20 minutes (10 km).
The long sandy beaches of Biodola and Procchio are 9 km away.
The Villa is ideal for families, or a group of friends, who love the sea and the comfort and outdoor life during the holidays.
Pets allowed on request and payment.
The rental price includes utilities, bed linen and towels with weekly change and final cleaning.
On arrival there is a € 300 security deposit to be payed.

great location - very calm and beautiful view on the bay of Portoferraio. We especially enjoyed the direct access to the sea for swimming and wingfoiling as well as the wonderful terasse where we celebrated our dinner every evening and enjoyed the beauty of the bay.

A Million Dollar View, But…Most importantly, we had a lovely time. Elba is a truly beautiful island, and the view from the house and patio — which was the main reason we specifically chose this property — was absolutely stunning.However, the house did not fully meet our expectations. The property feels dated and unfortunately does not appear to be well maintained.The owners provide very little for guests. There are no basic supplies such as paper towels, cleaning products, hand soap, or even trash bags. This was particularly inconvenient in Italy, where recycling requires separating waste into multiple bins and using different bags for each category. A few basic provisions would have made the stay much more comfortable.We also experienced a significant ant problem in both the kitchen and patio areas. There were many weeds and overgrown bushes, cigarette butts scattered around the patio, and the outdoor grill/BBQ chimney was so covered by vegetation that we did not feel comfortable using it. The downstairs beach area is public and shared with others.The property gave the impression that it is being managed more as an income-generating rental than as a place that is carefully maintained and prepared for guests. The owners live right next door, and reaching the house requires driving down a very narrow and steep alley, which can be challenging (depending on car size).Overall the view was the one thing that stood out!
