Elba Island: what you need to know before taking a holiday on Elba

Here are our tips to make the most of your trip, including climate and beaches!
A holiday on an island is always a magical experience: the charm of the sea is more powerful than that of a mere seaside resort.
The Island of Elba is no exception and so are its inhabitants, its cuisine, its climate, and its beaches feature an extraordinary mix of Tuscan and island life.
For this reason - and because at Rosselba we care about your holidays - we want to give you some advice on how to plan a holiday on our island and in our camping village.

Scattered advice and small tips to get you organized and to depart already in love with our beautiful Elba.

Plan for the ferry

To get to the Island of Elba, ferries depart from the port of Piombino and arrive mostly in Portoferraio. The departures have a frequency of about one every 30 minutes and the journey takes on average 1 hour and a half, depending on the company and the type of boat.

Our advice is to book the ferry always in advance so as not to pay unnecessarily high prices and to have all the departure times available to be able to choose the one that is most convenient for your trip. Do not forget that Rosselba has an arrangement with several shipping companies and that after booking with us you will receive a discount code to apply to the ferry fare.

Just as with an airport boarding, it is also necessary to arrive at least 40 minutes, to one hour in advance, in order to take a ferry. Obviously, as with all travel and boarding, a valid identity document is needed, which must be presented together with the boarding pass at check-in.

If you suffer from seasickness, there are effective remedies that you can request at the pharmacy and some tricks that are worth trying. Choose a spot outdoors and stare at a fixed point in the distance, such as the horizon or the mainland, it is advisable to take the trip on a full stomach, having eaten something savoury and solid, always keeping it light.

Climate and weather

The climate on the Island of Elba is heavenly: the classic maritime climate typical of the Mediterranean islands, with mild winters, hot springs and summers that are never scorching hot.

Wind is also a feature of this island, which is not too extensive, so it is rather easy and fast to travel from one side to the other to find a beach sheltered from the wind and enjoy a day by the sea without being disturbed by the currents.

The rains are scarce and from April to November it almost never rains. This makes Elba a paradise for holidays during the low season: enjoy the first hot days of April and May to go trekking, mountain biking, diving or any other outdoor sport; end of the summer in September and even October, when temperatures drop slightly but the sea water is still pleasant for the last baths of the season.

If you are wondering what to pack, long clothing is always recommended, both for the ferry trip and for more breezy evenings, while during the day you can show off your favourite summer clothes until the autumn!
 

Beach mission

The beaches of the Island of Elba are our passion, read our article if for some reason you missed it. In order to enjoy them at their best here are some tips to be followed.

Rubber shoes for stony beaches: to walk without squirming on the pebble beaches we recommend rubber shoes to protect your feet, to be worn even while bathing ... not only for children!

Mask, fins and snorkel: the sea of Elba is as transparent as the water of a swimming pool; if you want to enjoy the schools of fish that are hiding among the rocks or who will come to swim around you with curiosity, we recommend that you wear at least a mask or a pair of goggles because the spectacle that you will find underwater will be really beyond all expectations.

Watch out for sea urchins: always pay attention to the many sea urchins that you may encounter while swimming among the rocks. Watch out for where you are going!

Plan with the weather in mind: when you decide which beach to visit in the morning, always keep the wind in mind! So, with the weather in mind, choose beaches on the southern side on mistral days and the northern coast in case of Sirocco.

With these simple and essential tips your holiday on Elba will be very well planned and - we hope - without unforeseen surprises.

View our offers for September to travel to Rosselba and put them all into practice!

My holidays for 28 years!

(translated with Google Transalate) Village surrounded by greenery, comfortable facilities, activities for the little ones, large swimming pools with slides! Excellent restaurant and the mini market always well stocked! Everything is very nice and the staff is always available! An added value of this village is the entertainment service, the just friends! Every evening is always guaranteed fun! More than entertainers they are friends!!

Nostalgia

(translated with Google Translate) It is the fourth time that we have stayed at the Rosselba and for the fourth time we leave again with the nostalgia of this magnificent place. The botanical garden in which villa le palme is immersed is wonderful, the swimming pools are beautiful and well kept (the bar service in the pool is comfortable and the guys are nice). The beach is not the most scenic on the island, however it is quiet, easily reachable on foot or with the shuttle service (very efficient!) and the sea is crystal clear. What makes the difference most of all, however, are the market and the just friends animation. The market is well stocked, i excellent gastronomy products made with passion, more than accessible prices and all the staff are a love (Paola, Maria and Laura have remained in my heart!). The animation is the top, very varied and fun activities for adults and children, entertainers that are engaging but not insistent, always with a smile and warm (a big thank you to Giuseppe, Emanuel, Nunzio, Bianca, Laura, Younes, Samu and all the others ). We can't wait to go back!

Great

(translated with Google Transalate) The village is beautiful and large, beautiful swimming pool with hydromassage with a view. The village is terraced and therefore full of stairs and climbs. If they assign you an accommodation at the top as happened to us, you will do a lot of gymnastics!!!

Fantastic vacation

(translated with Google Transalate) Very nice campsite, well equipped, clean and tidy. We stayed in a seaside mobile home surrounded by greenery and tranquility. Our dog was welcome. Fabulous pool area, with fantastic slides and entertainment for young and old. A 5-minute walk from Ottone beach via a path or the possibility of taking the free shuttle thanks to the legendary Nunzio! Very beautiful, quiet and wild beach with a breathtaking view of the beach bar. But the highlight of the holiday was the Just Friends Animation, guys full of enthusiasm and energy who entertained the whole family! Max accompanied us on archery and canoeing courses, while Manu made us laugh at any time of the day! Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
