Where to sleep on Elba for Elbaman, September 29th
If you are reading this article, it is very likely that there is no need to explain anything to you, what a triathlon is, what Elbaman is....
You have already experienced - even if only mentally - the magic of this island, the strength that comes from the earth, the thrust that comes from the water, the breeze of its winds bringing dry salt, tears and sweat.
Elbaman is not a simple Triathlon, Elbaman is the strength of the Island of Elba that blends with that of the athlete, with the tenacity, resilience and thirst to succeed.
3.8 kilometres are before you: crystal-clear water, kissed by the dawn of a new day, it is your day. It will not be the arrival at the sea to spend a day at the beach, it will not be the sea of Elba for a swim with the family; it will be the start of your new challenge.
180 kilometres on the saddle of your partner, the one who knows how to work together with you, the one who has not left you alone on a long Sunday, when you leave in the dark, the only one next to you on the most burning climbs.
The only one who will know about your adrenaline after the swap, your hunger and thirst, the shivers not from cold but from beauty, when you will arrive together at Punta Nera and you will master the immensity of the sea; the intoxication of the air in your face during the descent, with the Sirocco that pushes you from behind and provides you with relief, lifts you up.
And finally, the marathon: 42 kilometres and 195 meters of effort, again in solitude to fight with cramps, with pain, fatigue and doubt, will I make it, then finding that voice that roars and says I will make it!
You already know all this, you have experienced it in other races and yet it is always different and always new, or you just imagined your first time, you have visualized it within you and it will never be as you thought, because it will be much more.
Choose to sleep at Rosselba for Elbaman
Well, we at Rosselba know what awaits you, and we bear in mind the excitement of the night before the race, the tired smiles on the way back, the group barbecues in the evening after the competition. We are ready to welcome you if you come as a family, if you come as a group, with your team or if you come alone.

We stayed in a Diamante and are a family of 4. Our pitch was ideal for us being close to the swimming pool and near the amenities of the campsite. We thoroughly enjoyed the lamination which was excellent for the kids. It was all very welcoming. I would come back again and recommend to other families.

Stayed for 2 weeks in a Diamante chalet with my family of 5. The chalet is small, but big enough because we can stay outside on the terras because of the beautiful weather. The chalet has airco and that's great at night as temperature doesn't drop below 20 degrees. On forehand we did not know what the inventory would be and we expected a dishwasher , that was not present. Not a big problem of course.
There is a very nice swimming pool with 3 slides that the kids loved. The slides close between 13 - 15, but the swimming pool stays open. Everybody wears a cap, at first it's a bit strange, but you get used to it soon.
I would specifically like to mention the Just Friends Animation Team with Emanuel, Nunzio, Yuna, Matteo etc. that made this holiday unforgettable. They make you feel at home straight away and they work their ass of to give everyone a good time.

We spent 10 days here (two adults and two children) in a Diamante bungalow. It was an excellent accommodation, fully equipped with all we needed, and very comfortable. Great view from the veranda, the breeze was constant and much welcomed (we also had A/C inside which in the heatwave we experienced was a life saver).
The village is very safe, our two children (5 and 7) could easily go from the bungalow to the baby club without any concern.
One other point of excellence is the staff that manages the entertainment: OUTSTANDING!! the girls in charge of the baby club (4-12 years old) were amazing, children loved it, they had many activities and the international aspect of the village made for a great mix of languages and culture. We will definitely go back!
There is a mini market in the village, fully stocked with all you may need at very normal prices, but in any case a larger convenient store is only 5 min drive away.
The only thing that is not super is perhaps the beach, it's a public one, not too far, it is quite small and the sea is not the best of Elba. We didn't mind that at all as we spent most of the time at the pools.
We stayed here in a cabin/static caravan thing and it was great. The staff were Really great and could you get out site is arranged in a valley full of lush tropical vegetation with the entrance at th...
We stayed here in a cabin/static caravan thing and it was great. The staff were Really great and could you get out site is arranged in a valley full of lush tropical vegetation with the entrance at the bottom in the middle surrounded by reception, the bar, the restaurant and the super market (good value).
If I was staying there again, I’d go for the top end safari tents which have the best place on the site in that they are near the pool and have lovely view down the valley.
The restaurant is ok, the bar is fine and serves good lunches but the pool with its slides is great.
Elba has loads of amazing beaches with excellent snorkelling conditions. Be aware that many beaches are pebbles so take rubber shoes.
We drove and stopped in Obernai, Lugano and near Parma before getting to the ferry.
By the way get to the ferry on time or it will leave!
Elba is amazing and we all loved it.
