Relais Delle Picchiaie Portoferraio

Situated on the top of a hill, amidst the deep green of pine trees and the silvery green of century-old cork-oaks, the Relais offers a breathtaking panorama that sweeps over the beautiful town of Portoferraio and its port before dissolving into the bright blues of the sea. The isolated location, well above the roads that run 500 metres below and its large multi-hued park full of oleanders, geraniums and lavender, all make the hotel a peaceful oasis where the tap-tapping of green woodpeckers and the song of other birds become pleasant interruptions to the silence.
Its swimming pools, one of which is a Jacuzzi, nestling among the palm trees and surrounded by green lawns spotted here and there with flowerbeds of red geraniums, are an invitation to guests to either relax on the sun beds under the shade of large umbrellas or enjoy the benefits of the sunshine, far away from any source of pollution in pure and fresh air.
Fitness Centre, sightseeing trips, tennis, golf and the Marine Park. The Fitness Centre that offers Turkish baths, sauna, showers, sun beds for relaxation and, above all, Ayurveda massage by qualified Indian personnel, is the appropriate place for regenerating after months of stress and work in the city.
