Hotel description
The Hotel Hermitage is the perfect choice for guests seeking a classic beach holiday with excellent service and delicious cuisine. The hotel provides 5-star service from an incredible location, not only bordering one of the island’s most stunning beaches, but also surrounded by gorgeous natural greenery and featuring two wonderful pools. The guestrooms are decorated in classic style and spread between the main building and charming little houses on the hillside, overlooking a breath-taking view of the bay. Guests are also treated to a choice of three restaurants as well as a range of holiday activities.
5 star hotel: Professional service and luxury, with a hint of nostalgia
The hotel’s classical Italian design creates an atmosphere of luxury throughout the building. Everything is kept to the highest standards of cleanliness and comfort, and a beautiful colour scheme featuring vibrant yellows and soft cream tones lends a summery mood along with the stylish furniture. The design and furnishings of the 128 rooms differ according to their size, ranging from the Classic rooms to Suites, but every one opens onto an incredible balcony or patio framed by geraniums, bougainvilleas and other flowers. The Junior Suites and full-size Suites all come with a stunning sea view, while other rooms look out onto the parklands or in the direction of the sea.
Beach hotel: Private beach access with stunning panoramic views
The Hotel Hermitage is situated on the edge of the pink-tinted sands of Biodola Beach, the site with which the hotel’s founder fell in love in the 1950s. The beach is approximately 750m long and separated from the other beaches at either end by dramatic cliffs. Towards the East lies the Hotel’s private bathing area, where guests can enjoy the sunshine on sun loungers and relax under parasols. A whole range of options allow guests to enjoy the gorgeous blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea, from kayaks to pedal boats and motorboats. A diving school is also onsite to help guests explore the crystal-clear view beneath the waves.
Spa hotel: Relaxation from the sun lounger to the massage bed
For those that need a little extra help to relax, The Hotel Hermitage provides the perfect service at its in-house spa and wellness area. A whole range of treatments is available, from massages to face and body treatments, as well as a sauna, solar shower and fitness suite. Pure peace and quiet also awaits guests in the gardens around the hotel, where a gentle stroll through the oaks and pines of the now protected area within the Tuscan Archipelago Park is highly a recommended.
Eating & Drinking: Three restaurants to choose from
The hotel has three restaurants: At the main restaurant Hermitage guests are treated to Italian classics and a choice of select wines. The beach restaurant La Ghiotta serves locally inspired dishes at lunch time. In the evening guests are invited to watch the cooks concocting delicious menus, which are strictly seasonal and based on produce and fish fresh from the market. Each product is sourced from a local producer, and many are organically grown. The Fuoco di Bosco restaurant serves Mediterranean specialties, fish and seafood right by the pool.
Sport & Leisure: Tennis, golf and watersports
The Hotel Hermitage is the ideal destination for guests seeking a more active holiday. For sea lovers the hotel offers seawater swimming pools, sailing, windsurfing and yacht chartering. The in-house diving school also teaches guests (above 8 years) how to explore the local waters and has snorkel equipment available to rent. On land guests can also take advantage of the hotel tennis courts, 9-hole golf course with practice ground, beach volleyball, five-a-side football, 3km jogging track and fantastic mountain bike trails.
Location: Between the woods and the water
The Hotel Hermitage is situated in the Biodala Bay on the north coast of the island of Elba. Set within its own parklands at the end of Biodola beach, its grounds spread along a wooded hillside with an incredible view of the sea. The main town Portoferraio is just 7km away.
