Surrounded by pine forest, this two-storey villa is the perfect setting for a family getaway or a friend reunion. As an added bonus, the home is close to the ocean, meaning trips to the beach are on the cards. Although the interior is a little dated, it's got plenty of old-world charm, reflecting its 19th-century origins. It's the outside that caught our attention most, though – there's plenty of space for alfresco dining and chilling by the pool. And if you really fancy unwinding, there is a spa here you can use for an additional fee.

Home truths

    The pool is only available for use between the first Saturday of April and the first Saturday of October. It also isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.

    You'll need to climb stairs to reach the entrance here.

    At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in one of the bedrooms.

    One of the double beds is a French bed. It may not be suitable for two adults.

    The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.

    Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free parking here.

    Your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.

About Livorno

Home to white-sand beaches and impossibly clear waters, it’s not difficult to see why so many travellers head straight to the islands of Livorno. Elba, the largest of the seven, is a scenic collection of seaside towns, mountain villages, and pretty coves – whether you’re into hiking, cycling, or just fancy a week on the beach, this island won’t disappoint.
