Sundial House in Rio

Treat yourself to an authentic holiday in this cosy two-room apartment in Rio nell'Elba, just a short walk from the village’s historic centre. An ideal spot for those who love tranquility, panoramic views, and the timeless atmosphere of Elba’s small villages.

Rio nell’Elba is a charming village, made up of narrow alleys, stairways, and houses perched high above, overlooking the sea. Here you can sense an ancient spirit, linked to the island’s mining history, which is still brought to life today by the Civic Archaeological Museum. About 2 km away is the port of Rio Marina, while the beaches of Nisporto, Nisportino, and Cavo—as well as Porto Azzurro, Capoliveri, and Portoferraio—are just a few minutes’ drive away. Leaving the village, the picturesque Volterraio road offers spectacular views all the way to the island’s capital.

The apartment is located just 100 metres from the main square and is easily accessible via a short walk from the road, where free parking is available. The interior is spacious and comfortable: the apartment features a bright living area with a kitchenette, dining area, and sofa bed; a hallway; a bathroom with a shower and bidet; and a spacious bedroom with a double bed and a single bed, making it ideal for families as well.

The apartment is equipped with all the amenities you need for a pleasant and carefree stay: air conditioning in the living area, TV, Wi-Fi, washing machine, microwave, coffee maker, electric kettle, dishes, and kitchen utensils.

The location is particularly popular with those who love to walk and explore the island at a leisurely pace: don’t miss the trail leading to the Volterraio Fortress, the oldest on Elba Island, which stands on a promontory 395 metres above sea level, offering a breathtaking view of the gulf. From here, it’s easy to explore the northern coast with the white-sand beaches of Portoferraio, the eastern coast all the way to Cavo, or the southern coast of Capoliveri with its coves and long sandy beaches.

This apartment is the perfect choice for those seeking a relaxing, authentic, and easily accessible holiday, immersed in the history and beauty of Elba Island.
