This experience, in a nutshell

Are you looking for a good reason to spend a holiday in Elba? In addition to the almost 100 km of coastline, where there is a succession of breathtaking beaches and crystal clear waters, such as the beautiful beaches of Fetovaia, where turtles nest, or Ghiaie, to name only the most famous, this island is also the guardian of an ultra-millenary history and a unique and enchanting nature.



In fact, wonderful excursions await you such as those that lead to the summit of Monte Capanne, to be done on foot or by cable car, or to the ancient mining quarries, a source of supply of precious metals and minerals since Etruscan and Roman times and remained in operation until the last century.

Elba is home to seven municipalities and offers visitors different atmospheres, while remaining on the same island, passing from the lively and popular Porto Ferraio, to enchanting villages such as Sant' Ilario al Campo, an oasis of peace and serenity, even in the busiest months.



In addition to the Etruscan, Roman and Medici remains, the mining industry, the beaches, the landscapes and the excursions, you can enjoy a beautiful and crystal clear sea, where you can see gorgons, corals, moray eels, breams and starfish, as well as colorful reef fish and other underwater species, such as amberjacks and lobsters.



The Island of Elba is also known all over the world for the exile of Napoleon Bonaparte, whose residences remain as a testimony of that ancient splendor and can still be visited. The island offers a safe shelter from all winds, giving the possibility of safe roadsteads in wonderful sheltered bays, as well as stops in equipped ports, and is suitable for all ages and expectations, combining sailing holidays with the possibility of cultural and naturalistic tourism.



There is no shortage of nightlife, with beach parties, aperitifs and live music, all accompanied by the renowned Tuscan cuisine and its delicious wines. Not to mention the other nearby islands of the Tuscan archipelago, such as the beautiful island of Capraia, which we will visit during our holiday.

Barca disordinata e sporca Tender datato e privo di manutenzione Skipper forse meglio non entrare troppo nel dettaglio ma sicuramente tutto ciò che NON avrei mai voluto incontrare!! Rimango scioccata dalle recensioni positive che ho visto in merito a questo individuo.. In passato avevo gia fatto vacanze con sailsquare e mi sono sempre trovata bene ma questa volta è stato veramente un disastro !! Vacanza terribile, unica nota positiva la coppia che ha condiviso con noi la vacanza con cui ci siamo trovati benissimo, se non ci fossero stati loro sarei scappata. Diciamo che sailsquare è una bella vetrina ma non è sempre una garanzia e questo ne è stato di esempio!

Esperienza unica da tutti i punti di vista! Mario è il capitano ideale, attento alla sicurezza sotto ogni punto di vista, la sua esperienza in mare è notevole e riesce a trasmettere l'amore per la navigazione a tutti. Ci siamo divertiti, abbiamo condiviso momenti speciali, ha esaudito i nostri desideri senza perdere di vista le esigenze di una vacanza in mare. La compagna Antonella è stata una presenza altrettanto preziosa, simpatica e di grande cultura. Ripartirei ora, l'amore per la barca a vela ormai è totale, una prospettiva per vivere il mare che vince del tutto l'alternativa via terra perché ti regala libertà e felicità in ogni istante....e il libro che mi ero portata, per riempire eventuali momenti di "calma piatta", è tornato a casa senza mai essere aperto, ottimo segnale per una settimana trascorsa alla grande!

Settimana a dir poco fantastica. Mario, lo skipper, un personaggio che non incontri tutti i giorni: ci siamo subito affezionati e sentiti parte della sua ciurma. Ci ha coinvolto e insegnato tante nozioni sul mondo della vela. Il divertimento non ci è mancato con lui!!
