Boutique Hotel Ilio

We had a group stay here and it was pretty good. The hotel is a close walk to the main beach area and they are friendly and helpful at the front desk. Rooms feel a bit dated to me. While rooms are nice and clean, they could use a refresh. My partner liked the firmness of the bed and I felt it too hard, anyways we slept because the days were long so I was happy to come back to a clean place to rest my head. There is a zero noise tolerance at the hotel after 10pm, a few of us were sitting out in the courtyard having a night cap and were told to shut it down, that was disappointing because it didn’t seem we were being overly loud or disrespectful. So just a heads up on that - it a quiet resort. Breakfast was great, nice options for many cultures.

L'accoglienza, che ci ha fatto sentire davvero coccolati

Nulla tutto perfetto. L'unica cosa cambierei il modello dei copriletti della camera essential , che la rendono un po' "vecchia" a primo impatto e invece la camera é nuovissima e pulitissima

Colazione molto buona. Posizione anche

Check out impersonale

We stayed in the beachside annex. This is really on the beach and therefore next to restaurants, but steps to the water. So there are lots of people around during the day, but mostly families. Also, San Andrea is tiny, so by restaurants, I mean three. By the time we had finished dinner, the entire beach had cleared out and we were the only people there. For breakfast, we could make the short trip to the hotel, where the coffee is prepared as you like it and the buffet offering a wide range of healthy, fresh food. The staff are highly professional, which came in handy for me. I needed assistance for an unpredicted and serious problem, which was miraculously solved by Maurizio, who is as knowledgeable about Elba as a person can be. You can rent an umbrella, or you can buy a snorkel and swim off the rocks (very satisfying) or you can make a short trek to a peaceful, sandy beach. All said, a great location with a mostly Italian clientele and very good, fresh seafood. We rented a car and the driving can be challenging. If you are not accustomed to winding roads and Italian driving (other cars come close and often at high speed) it might be a bit scary.

The private garden. Very cozy :)

Nothing in particular.

Beautiful view from the terrace. The “garden view” room faced a retaining wall separating property from someone else’s garden. Would recommend d the upgrade to the ocean view rooms.
