Just 10 km. from the mainland of Tuscany, Elba is the third
largest Italian island. If you are travelling by car the ferry to Elba leaves
from the mainland port of Piombino and takes between half an hour to an hour. In
many ways Elba is Tuscany in miniature. There are the same distinctive Cypress
trees, the olive groves, the old farmhouses, many now renovated and reborn as
delightful holiday accommodation. The great culinary tradition of Tuscany is
also evident on Elba, with many trattorias and ristorante serving delicious
local fare.
Because of its small size it's very easy to explore the island
and discover the hidden coves and inlets where crystal clear water invites
swimming from the sandy beaches. Inland the landscape is surprisingly varied,
from lush woods and fields to barren hillsides where the cactus thrives. Small
fishing villages are found around the coast, where some great sea-food can be
found, and inland the settlements cling to steep slopes, hinting at their past
role in repelling pirates and invaders.
So if you're looking for something a little different check out
the Eurocamp campsites for a camping holiday in Elba. Both campsites are
situated right next to beaches, and they both offer superb swimming pools on
site.
Rosselba les Palme is the more lively of the two, very popular with
Italians, while
Ville degli Ulivi is rather more laid back, although with every amenity.
Flights are available to Pisa, where you can hire a car from
Auto Europe Car Hire or
Argus Car Hire. If you want the freedom of bringing your own car, check out
our
route planner where you will also see our hotels displayed for you to
book an
overnight stop. It's possible to drive here from Calais with a single
night's stop, but we'd recommend at least 2 nights en-route. Take your time and
enjoy the journey. For
