Hôtel Sant'Andrea, The Originals Relais (Relais du Silence) 3.0 Stars

A gorgeous, distinctive hotel in Tuscany that backs up to the mountains and looks over the sea, the Relais du Silence Hotel Sant'Andrea is heaven for those in search of tranquillity, as- well as proximity to nature, simplicity, and comfort. In Marciana in a bay of Elba island, this gracious house has a magical, unforgettable quality.

The small, unusual Italian hotel consists in nooks and crannies where guests can find solitude, both indoors and outdoors. Flea market finds, antique furniture, paintings, and curios make up the charming decor. The 18 rooms are all different. Traditional, more modern or rustic - regardless of the style, they are really pretty and refreshing. Some overlook the garden and others have mountain or sea views. They are comfortable, with satellite TV, minibar, safe, telephone, air conditioning, fan, tea supplies, shower, and hairdryer. The best rooms also have a living room, shower with massaging jets and chromotherapy, and a private garden or small balcony overlooking the sea.
Charm abounds at this Marciana hotel, where the dining room is a long and lovely veranda facing the sea. It serves refined family cooking focused on fresh fish, meat and vegetables from the island, which are followed up with carefully prepared desserts. For breakfast, which can be taken outside, organic and gluten-free products are available.
Near Marciana Marina, the Relais du Silence Hotel Sant'Andrea rents boats for the day. With a prime location on Elba island, which is great for trekking, it makes for easy visits to the villas where Napoleon lived and the Notre Dame du Mont Sanctuary.
