La casa dei fichi

Casetta in campagna carina e nuova. Ottima per camminate e bici. Tranquillo e silenzioso il posto.

Un pó di cura in più e oggetti per il comfort ma considerando le esperienze avute prima in giro ottima.

Good, quiet location, in own private courtyard. Very helpful and friendly host. Good view to hills and possible to walk to the town/sea. Nicely refurbished.

We were unlucky with our timing and Elba suffered unusual, very cold weather (about 4 degrees C, January 2023) and unfortunately the heating in the apartment was not able to make it warm enough inside to be really comfortable (and we have lived in the Alps for 20 years so we are used to the cold). In spring, summer and autumn, I'm sure it would be fine. The kitchen is good but was underequipped for self-catering with only one cooking pot and one frying pan (we asked the host to bring more) and very few utensils. The bed could do with a firmer mattress. Its a new rental, so I think the host will pick up on feedback and remedy the few negatives and in spring, summer or autumn this could be a great place to stay with a really nice, quiet garden and view.
