The Hotel Relais delle Picchiaie is sited in a locality of the same name in the municipality of Portoferraio. Picchiaie is the Italian word for an area inhabited by woodpeckers, which as one would expect, are in abundance around the hotel’s grounds.

How to Get There

By Car : Ferries sail to Elba from Piombino. Crossings are regular but heavily booked on summer weekends. Visit www.toremar.it for times and booking details.

From the North take the A12 motorway to Rosignano, come off on to the duel carriage way, direction Rome. Exit at Piombino and follow the signs for the port.

From the South take the Rome to Civitavecchia motorway which leads on to the duel carriage way, direction Livorno. Exit at Piombino and follow the signs of the port.

After a 50 minutes crossing you land in Portoferraio. Exit the port and follow signs initially for Porto Azzurro. Follow the Porto Azzurro road for 4 km and the road leading to the hotel, which has yellow name signs either side of it, is on the left after “Elbaland” fun park.
