Hotel Hermitage, only eight kilometres from Portoferraio, in the most exclusive bay of the Island of Elba, the Hermitage Hotel was estabilished in the 1960s next to a beach with golden sand. There it nestles in the luxuriant Mediterranean landscape with its mastic, holly oak, arbutus and rosemary bushes.
Today the hotel Hermitage is a modern structure right beside the sea, rising up from the sand and the rocks and blending harmoniously into the natural beauty of the landscape. The Hermitage offers everything you could wish for in a recreational or relaxing holiday: a private beach with finest sand, a jetty, three seawater pools, a restaurant at the water’s edge, a piano bar, a small golf course with nine-holes, nine tennis courts and facilities for various games such as football, volleyball, bowls etc. Hotel is renowned for its high level of service and the exquisite cuisine it serves. The rooms, fitted out with all the most modern amenities, are for the most part located in small cottages surrounded by the lush green of the hotel’s own private park.
Rooms & Suites Hotel Hermitage
Most of the 5-star Hotel Hermitage rooms and suites on the Island of Elba consist of private cottages set into the rock and surrounded by Mediterranean Maquis, a real refuge from the rest of the world.
Restaurants and bars
Our executive chef Paolo Balestrazzi prepares his gastronomic creations using local ingredients, like tomatoes from San Martino, anchovies, lobster, and bait-fished fish. Most of the fruits and vegetables used in our cooking are grown on Elba with aromatic herbs collected from Biodola. The kitchens of our three restaurants use only the freshest ingredients of the season, at zero km whenever possible, from local producers.
