Hotel Relais delle Picchiaie has 49 rooms split between three buildings. The main structure, where you will find most of the higher graded rooms, is on three levels even if there are only 2 rooms on the second floor. There are 4 rooms that via connecting doors can be smartly transformed into family accommodation. In addition to double rooms there are also two single rooms. All come equipped with air conditioning, direct telephone, colour TV and mini bar. Fourteen of the rooms have balconies and a similar number have sea views.

En-suite bathrooms are extremely clean and spacious. Complimentary kits are given to all guests. The private bathrooms have a bath tub or a shower. Electric hairdryers are also at guests’ disposal.

Cribs are available for very young guests and in specific rooms your pets are also welcome.

Breakfast is a must as the waiters keep the tables well laden with fresh fruits, cheeses, hams and cereals to very late in the morning. If you fancy some scrambled eggs just ask.

Common areas are characterized by high wooden beamed ceilings and large windows to admire the view into the bay. The Picchiaie was designed by one of the leading hotel architects of the day when it was built around a Victorian villa some forty years ago. Sofas provide comfortable seating for reading or playing board games in a spacious climate controlled environment. Here you can also have a game of billiards or take a drink from the well stocked bar. The reception is open 24 hours. There is even a grand piano, whose cords are struck out three evening a week. There is an internet point and complimentary newspapers are provided for guests.

The restaurant and bar
At Relais delle Picchiaie do not expect hotel food. The restaurant serves a menu of creative Mediterranean cuisine that draws from the traditions of Tuscan fare, the particularities of the Isle of Elba and the talents of the chef. There are fish and meat options on the first three of the four courses and a light choice if you’re keeping an eye on the calories. Sweets are home-made. The cellar holds wines produced in local vineyards.

Ask the highly qualified and experienced Sommelier to advise you on the right wine to enhance the flavours of your culinary choices. Waiters are impeccably turned out and the service they offer matches.

Pool and gardens
Amongst the lawn and flower beds the hotel has two swimming pools, one of which is a Jacuzzi. You’ll find plenty of sun beds to allow you to relax in the sun or the shade of palm trees.

Wellness and Fitness Centre
In the fitness Centre you work out or can take a Turkish bath and sauna but in particular you can enjoy an Ayurveda whole body massage by qualified personnel.

Tennis, mountain biking, billiards and table tennis
The hotel has two tennis courts, plenty of bikes, a plush billiard table in the reception area and an outdoor ping-pong table. All are free of charge. Walking and cycling are made easy on the island by the highly developed network of paths that crisscross its wooded slopes.
