Residence le Acacie

My wife and I took a short break in Elba during a trip to Italy mainly to reconnect with family. We really enjoyed the island as we were able to do some hiking and visit a number of beaches. We stayed at Le Acacie Hotel which is well appointed, great for families (even though we were just a couple) and we were treated very well by the staff who are very accommodating.

The hotel "Le Acacie" is located in a small bay, surrounded by greenery, has a swimming pool, but is a few kilometres away from the city (restaurants, shops, pharmacies, ATMs...). A wonderful sandy hotel beach, clean sea, suitable for small children, and twenty meters from the cost, the sea depth is over 2m. A restaurant with superbly prepared food and a diverse offer. I recommend taking full or half board, because there are no other restaurants nearby. The staff is friendly, but most of them only speak Italian. The rooms are spacious, clean, and perhaps ready for renovation. The only thing missing was a safe for storing personal belongings. The island of Elba has an interesting tourist offer, and in addition to water sports, it also offers hiking and cycling tours.

The hotel is very close to the beach and everyone is extremely friendly with the kids. There is a great swimming pool that is very precious for those days when the beach is not inviting. The area around the hotel is wonderful for watersports, trekking, biking, sailing. The two beautiful towns close to Naregno, Capoliveri and Porto Azzurro are gems. The food is amazing. There is wonderful activities for young kids. It was amazing. (we have a 8 and 2 year old kids)

Although we expected a little more comfort, we were pleasantly surprised by all the other suitability and advantage of the hotel itself. Excellent location of the hotel, with direct access to the sandy beach with provided umbrellas and sunbeds. The location of the hotel allows for a full, active vacation. The half board food was absolutely fantastic. It was a pleasant surprise for us. Breakfast was varied and rich, dinner was extremely good. The service in the restaurant is excellent. The cleanliness was very good as well as the organization of other services such as parking, beach service, etc. I was impressed by the small details, such as the quality of the towels in the rooms, for example. The prices in the bar and restaurant were quite correct. What I think is not convenient, is the lack of shops nearby, due to the distance from the town, where where can common items like mineral water or vegetables be bought.

The hotel location is good with access to the beach and close to Capoliveri. The hotel rooms are comfortable with good facilities and very clean. We could park for free, and traveling to the east part of Elba is convenient. To improve the rating, the hotel could offer discounts for guests to use the beach facilities and the trips/activities by the providers.

We've spent a week with our 4-years old boy at the residence. The location is great, just few steps to the beach, and the beach is very beautiful! Overall, everything worked fine! However, the apartment needs some renovation and the mattresses could be more confortable.
