POMONTE
Pomonte is a characteristic seaside village divided between the Municipalities of Marciana and Campo nell’Elba, on the western coast of the Island of Elba, known for tourism as the Costa del Sole, which from the slopes of Monte Capanne lies on the sea revealing a land characterized by a rich biodiversity, warmed by the sun until its unmissable breathtaking sunset on Corsica. Pomonte is a picturesque village divided between the sea and the mountains that form a precious frame to the valley of the same name, crossed by ditches, streams and old mule tracks, now transformed into paths for hikers among the Mediterranean scrub that historically allowed the peasant inhabitants to reach the persistent terraces cultivated with heroic vineyards.
Pomonte is also a perfect base for visiting Elba and its thousand natural facets, with a return home galvanized by the most beautiful sunset visible on the Island.
THE WRECK
The main attraction of Pomonte is the Elviscot Wreck, a merchant ship that sank in 1972 near the Ogliera rock. Just 160 meters from the shore, it is easily reached by swimming and offers a thrilling spectacle; the two parts of the wreck lie on a seabed of about 12 meters, but the control cabin reaches almost 2 meters just below the surface. The wreck has been chosen as the home of all the local fish and you can enjoy a unique spectacle immersed among hundreds of saddled breams and damselfish in a splendid blue water.
THE BEACHES OF POMONTE
THE “WRECK BEACH” is made up of small dark pebbles, is not very large and is largely occupied by a beach resort under concession (from June to September).
THE “SPIAGGIA DELLE SCALETTE” is the easiest to reach in the country, it is made up of pebbles and white granite gravel of various sizes, it is completely free, with easy access to the sea even for the smallest children.
The northernmost part of the Pomonte coast is characterized by a large smooth white granite cliff, “IL CALELLO”, with slightly sloping seabeds that allow easy descent and ascent from the water.
THE “SPIAGGIA DELL'OGLIERA” is the wildest and almost always with very few people even in August, because it is more difficult to reach, going down from the provincial road with a short steep path or from the same Spiaggia del Relitto along the cliff entering the sea up to a meter. It is made up of dark pebbles.
TREKKING AND OUTDOOR
Pomonte is not just sea, for those who love trekking or for mountain-bike experts there are numerous marked paths that go up the mountains and offer a wonderful view of the entire Tuscan archipelago and Corsica.
SHOPS
In the village there are all the essential shops: minimarket, tobacconist, newsagent, pharmacy, ice cream shop, two bakeries, beach and diving clothing, typical products, three bars, pizza by the slice, kiosk on the beach, a restaurant with a terrace on the rocks, hotel with 2 restaurants attached and open to all.
During the months of July, August and September, village festivals are organized where you can find local dishes based on fish or game.
THE WESTERN COAST OF THE ISLAND OF ELBA
If it is your first time on the Costa del Sole you cannot miss the famous sandy beaches of Fetovaia, Seccheto, Cavoli, Sant'Andrea and the very long beach of Marina di Campo. The medieval villages of Marciana and Poggio on the north side, San Piero and Sant'Ilario to the south. Marciana Marina, a pretty town with a tourist port and Marina di Campo, larger towns where most of the nightlife of the island is located and all kinds of shops for shopping that are also open in the evening.
These are just a few brief and main indications of what you can discover on your holiday in Pomonte. If you are convinced in your choice after booking we will send you even more detailed information to ensure that your holiday on Elba remains one of your most beautiful memories!
We look forward to seeing you in Pomonte!
