“Laid back hotel on the north western corner of Elba. Twenty bedrooms are individually decorated, most with a contemporary style. Great choice of restaurants close by. Come here for total relaxation in an unspoilt region of Italy.”

Hotel Review

The Hotel Ilio enjoys a fabulous position on the northern coast of the Island of Elba. Owner manager Maurizio Testa claims to have created the island's first "boutique" hotel. Built above his grandfather's wine cellar (where he produced tradition Elban red and white wines) the twenty bedrooms are spread throughout the lush gardens. All are contemporary in style, each with a different theme; there is certainly something to suit all tastes. The hotel also hosts regular photographic exhibitions. A new wellbeing corner offers a range of relaxing massages. Plus you'll find a bar, library and chic winery for sampling the local favourites. Maurizio has produced a guide to help you sample the best of Elban cuisine, and closer to home there are plenty of eateries within walking distance. The atmosphere is laid back - this is a great destination for simply kicking back and enjoying a spot of relaxation.
