Agriturismo la Lecciola

Giulia and her family made our week on Elba especially memorable. We stayed at their Agriturismo Lecciola, a lovely, impeccably kept property. The apartment was spotless, well furnished and equipped, with spectacular sea views. They were incredibly generous hosts.

Giulia and her family made us feel so welcome. Their warmth, friendliness, and helpfulness are something I'll remember. Our house was stylish, quiet, cozy, and spotlessly clean, with all the amenities we could want. From the porch, you can see the farm, vineyard, olive and oak trees, hills, sea, and mainland in the distance. The place even seems to have its own microclimate. La Lecciola was the highlight of our time in Italy, a real gem tucked into the hills of eastern Elba, surrounded by beautiful nature and incredible views. There's a former mining town nearby, a 15th-century fort on a hill, and lots of towns, villages, and beaches within a half-hour drive. Walking or hiking takes a little longer, but not much, and is well worth it for the scenery.

Elba is a great island, and this is a lovely, peaceful spot on it. Giulia also gave us really good tips for places to eat and beaches.

We had a restorative week here and will definitely come back. The shared veranda was a favorite, with an exceptional view and space to eat, have an aperitif, or just sit and chat. Our accommodation had everything we needed. It's a green, leafy farm reached by an easy dirt road, with several places to stay, including tents and a caravan. Rio Marina's center is only a five-minute drive away. Giulia made us feel at home and was kind and available whenever we had questions.
