Elba

Elba used to be known for its minerals and ores, and even today, its stunning hills are seemingly sprinkled with delightfully coloured crystals, such as green beryl and purple amethyst. Find them twinkling at Month Capanne amidst the slopes, particularly detectable after bouts of rain..

Today, Elba is probably best identified as the site where Napoleon was once exiled. It’s the third largest Italian island, and is a genuinely gorgeous, rural paradise. In Elba you’re spoiled with startling coral reef, perfect for scuba diving fans, and is poetic with its romantic landscapes and quiet beaches.

Things To Do in Elba:

 

  • Eat Differently: La Ferrigna welcomes you with a Chef who smiles at every guest as they arrive. Try the fish!
  • Create: fans of Photography, Writing or Art are encouraged to take the time to create something new here.

Naples

If you love people watching, pizza and exploration – Naples is for you. In many destinations worldwide, street food is not recommended. However there is an exception with Naples. L’Antica Pizzeria Da Michele is highly recommended but be warned, they offer only two options: tomato and mozzarella or tomato and anchovy – a small price to pay for perfected pizza.

Pompeii still demands attention to this day – 79 AD saw Mount Vesuvius’ most catastrophic eruption, where the wealthy citizens of that time were all but wiped out. Today, “The Garden of the Fugitives” serves as a sobering reminder of our shared mortality. But, for the Naples of today, consider enjoying some lively street people-watching from the many charming city bar and rooftop terraces.

Things To Do in Naples:

 

  • Eat: dare to indulge in the tastiest international street food.
  • Reflect: visit San Severo Chapel Museum to see ‘The Veiled Christ’.
  • Shop: for Christmas, pick up original trinkets from the Nativity Markets.
