“Le Picchiaie” is a park in the heart of the isle of Elba, on the top of a hill overlooking the Gulf of Portoferraio. The verdant nature sets up the frame of an unique panorama: the vibrant blue of the sea and the Tuscan coast stretching far along the horizon, complemented by the presence of the Volterraio Castle, witness of over eight centuries of history. The hills and heights all around Le Picchiaie are covered by Mediterranean vegetation, such as pine trees, oaks and secular cork oaks, together with scented broom, briers, wild lavender, rosemary and rare wild orchids. The hills surrounding the Relais reveal paths concealed in a natural environment with astonishing panoramic vistas of all the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago, up to Corsica. It is a true oasis of peace, where guests can choose among relaxing walks under the woodland shade, mountain bike trips or horse-riding.The Wellness Hotel Relais delle Picchiaie offers a breathtaking panorama, showing the beautiful gulf of Portoferraio on one side and meeting with the majestic fortress of Volterraio on the other. The quiet location with its fresh air, enhanced by evocative surroundings and the wide range of services offered, give the chance for absolute relax and well-being. The delicious breakfast buffet is served until 11:00 am, whereas an Italian style breakfast is available until noon at the bar, giving you the freedom to enjoy a holiday at complete ease. Guests will dine in a romantic atmosphere fashioned by warm colours, silky linen and astonishing views of the gulf from the restaurant. Local dishes, reinvented by our Head Chef, are served and accompanied by a wide selection of Tuscan and Elba Doc wines, while on some nights the piano bar will be a delightful addition to the rest of the evening.
The family-run Relais delle Picchiaie pays special attention to guests and guarantees a discreet and high quality service. A cosy wellness centre is available to guests free of charge, while the nearby Golf Club, the San Giovanni Spa and the Diving Center offer promotions to Relais delle Picchiaie vacationers.
