In a beautiful location, on top of a hill and with an amazing view on the sea, the Relais delle Picchiaie is a complete resort ideal for a good stay on the Elba Island. Hotel rooms are either in the main building or on separate structure, they are pretty essential but clean. All areas of the resort have Wi-Fi connection, and there is a public computer for free use in the lobby. Staff is nice and polite, always available to help and care of their customers. The restaurant offers a different menu every day, and food is really good and at an affordable price. Breakfast buffet is very abundant, and the bar offers a little finger-food buffet for the evening's happy hour. Outside there's a swimming pool and sundecks for those who don't want to reach the beach for a tan, a spa and wellness center, tennis courts, and a large parking lot. The way to the beach and to the closest town is pretty long and steep, so you'll need a car to explore the island, but the management has a cute little convertible Smart car for rent at a honest daily rate, or can provide other cars for rent with pick up and delivery directly at the lobby. In general the resort's position is great to reach every corner of the island with ease, and my stay has been very good. I'd definitely return here next time I am on the Elba. read more
