About this property

Lovely seaview villa in Elba Island Natural Park - Sea, nature and sunset.

A third stand-alone seaview double/twin bedroom (dependance) is available and can be combined with the house (ON demand).

We are in the middle of Elba Island Natural Park, deep in a quiet green, with forests and mountains behind and a charming blue sea ahead. The sea and coast below the house are the most beautiful of the Island, still uncorrupted and quietly savage. The position, just a bit high on the coast between Marciana Marina and Sant'Andrea bay, leads a superb sea lookout and a greatful peace . Casa La Scuola (it has been used as an elementary school for locals up to the '60, that's why the name) is a single house with large seaview terraces. A large roofed front terrace with marble table, sunbeds and chairs and lateral sun shelters, during summer becomes the real living area of the house. A second lateral "full seaview" flyover terrace overlooking the sea and "in the water" sunset is at guests disposal (and private of the house). Additional amenities as a seaview barbecue, a practical additional hot/cold external shower, let the house perfect for an agreable outdoor living.

Casa La Scuola is composed by a living area with new fully equipped kitchen, extensible wooden table, sofa and TV area, a nice double/twin bedroom, a single bedroom, a mezzanine with 2/3 beds and a new bathroom with large shower.
An additional stand-alone double/twin bedroom (named Torara) with its own bathroom and shower is available. It was the old cantine where agrarians stored oil and wine, now a dependance that can be combined with the house.
This way the accomodation becomes a 7 sleeps accomodation with 2 bathrooms and showers. Beds are all single and they can be combined on a double and reverse.

The location is the ideal starting point for beach and sea life but also for charming trekking through forests, valley and mountains of Elba Island Natural Park and for visiting medieval villages in the area.

Finally Casa La Scuola is a comfortable accommodation in a quiet natural place with wonderful seaview over a magnificent blue sea.

Amazing
We were not prepared to the beauty of this place. Yes we read reviews but we did not expect it was SO beautiful. Seaview from the house terrace is extraordinary: the sun goes down into the sea right in front, bringing a sky of exiting colors for hours. All in a really quiet place and beautiful house. We just loved.

Original house in wonderful place
Ancient rural house in a wonderful place. It is part of a small agricultural village immersed in tranquility. The house, well renovated, is independent, has its own outdoor spaces and a beautiful sea view. From the terrace in front of the house (original from 1700), if you are sitting, the sea is partially hidden by the roof of a lower house, but attached to the house there is a comfortable raised terrace with table, chairs and deckchairs, from which you can enjoy a complete and magnificent sea view. In fact we always had lunch and dinner there, with the sea in front. The house itself is cozy, the living room is not very big, but it is functional and comfortable, with good beds, a new bathroom and an equipped kitchen. And then there is the large outdoor area, where we always liked to be, even if it was a bit cold in the evening. The place is special, nature, silence and sea. From the house we always left on foot and explored all the surroundings, until we reached Marciana Marina and Sant'Andrea. The beach below is beautiful, natural and uncontaminated. We recommend this accommodation to all nature lovers and special places seekers.

tolle Feiertage
Danke an Andrew (der Besitzer that rented his two houses to us and our friends. We stayed in La Scuola/Aia while our friends stayed in Casa Sant'Anna. La Scuola is a wonderful practical house with everything we needed: good equipped kitchen, good beds, good new bathroom, nice outdoor facilities (barbecue), befriedigent Wi-Fi, seaview from its elevated terrace was meravillous. The same can say for Casa Sant'Anna (a few meters away but a little zurucksetzen and with the terrace on the other side, perfect for spending holidays in company but without disturbing). We can hardly say which was the best as it certainly depends on the type of group and personal tastes. Finally we had a great holiday with our friends, great barbecues and sunshines, great walks around and great baths in the wonderful sea. We all really enjoyed it.

Una piacevole vacanza
La casa è bella e ben curata, perfetta per una famiglia di 5 persone come noi. La cucina è ben equipaggiata, ha tutto il necessario per cucinare, c'è anche il forno, il microonde e la macchina per il caffè all'americana. Gli spazi esterni sono ampi e comodi, ed è tutto è vista mare. C'è il barbecue e una piacevole doccia esterna. La terrazza sopraelevata è stupenda. Dalla casa si può scendere direttamente a piedi a La Cala, una bellissima spiaggia di ciotoli e roccia ancora molto naturale. Il sentiero è un po' pendente ma è molto breve (10 minuti). Sempre dalla casa ci sono tanti altri sentieri, noi siamo andati solo fino a Marciana e poi sù alla Madonna del Monte (c'è un Santuario con una piazzetta con fontane bellissima), per un trekking bellissimo in mezzo al bosco, ma si può andare anche a Sant'Andrea o a Marciana Marina. Pensiamo che la casa e il luogo sono stati perfetti per noi, e lo sarà per tutti quelli che li piace il mare la natura e il trekking. Unico appunto è che per fare la spesa bisogna prendere l'auto, ma è un piccolo sacrificio per un posto così bello.

Il nostro in Casa La Scuola
La casa va bene e comodo per 5 persone forse 6 se sono bambini, molto pulita. Lo spazio esterno è tanto, una terrazza davanti alla casa con tettoie e vista mare, molto confortevole e spaziosa, e una vicina piu alta con vista mare ancora più bella, e un tavola per splendide pasti. Ci ha piaciuto molto la doccia esterna, davvero piacevole. E il parcheggio della auto proprio a due metri da casa, molto comfortevole. Il luogo è bellissimo. Ci piace tornare in autumn se possiamo.

Great view and position
Nice house in fully quiet place. We mostly appreciated the sea in front and sea view from everywhere (overall from the terrace) and house quiet position at the intersection of many trails so we could start on foot without using the car. Sea and coast below the house are wonderful.

Belissimo
Since our last visit, many years ago, we have dreamed of a family vacation on Elba, and we finally got it. For us who live in Germany, the important thing was the sun, tranquility and a beautiful sea and seaview. Renting this property we found the above and more. A lovely and comfort house, intresting and natural surroundings, and really kind and helpful hosts. We can absolutely recommend this accommodation, without hesitation.

Mereveilleux
Nous avons passé de merveilleuses vacances entourées de nature et de silence, avec une magnifique vue sur la mer. La maison est une ancienne ferme bien rénovée et entretenue, salle de bain toute neuve, cuisine neuve, parfaitement équipée, avec superbe vue mer depuis la fenêtre. A l'extérieur, devant, une grande et confortable terrasse avec auvent, table à manger, chaises et transats. A côté une douche extérieure très agréable, un barbecue avec vue sur la mer, et la magnifique terrasse surélevée d'où nous avons profité du coucher de soleil directement dans la mer devant nous. Les environs sont quelque chose d'incroyable : sans utiliser la voiture, vous pouvez quitter la maison pour des promenades et des randonnées dans les bois, ou descendre à la mer et trouver de belles criques solitaire où il y a très peu de monde. Pour notre famille, c'était un endroit idéal pour des vacances merveilleuses. Conseillé

Just to confirm the excellent accomodation, the peaceful location and the full seaview. As the Owner explained us, because of the northern exposure the sun is behind shoulders and the panorama is something unique: the sea takes magical blue shades mixed with pink reflections coming from some passing white clouds, kissed by sunlight. The result is extraordinary, almost touching. We had just a quick bite but it was enough to let us satisifed and relaxed for the months to come.

Quality holidays
In addition to its fantastic seaview, tranquillity and natural setting, the house offers an high quality living comfort and beautiful spaces for outdoor living. For those like me who love nature it was a delightful experience. I also add that from booking to departure we were looked after in an impeccable way, and this also makes the difference. 5 stars is mandatory.

Mare e natura
Siamo una famiglia di 4 persone, abituata a soggiornare in case vacanze da tanti anni. Abbiamo visto molte case e molti posti. Onestamente devo dire che questo è stato il soggiorno più bello in assoluto. Non tanto per la casa in sé, comunque confortevole e ben curata, quanto piuttosto per gli spazi esterni, le terrazze, il barbecue, la stupenda vista mare, e soprattutto la posizione. Abbiamo trascorso giornate stupende ammirando il mare e godendo della pace e della natura attorno a noi. Quando ne avevamo voglia partivamo dalla casa per scendere al mare oppure per bellissime passeggiate in mezzo ai boschi. Senza mai usare l'auto. Da scoprire.

Our stay
We had a perfect stay in this property. The interior is comfortable: beds, sofa, new bathroom with large shower, new kitchen, mosquito nets on windows (excellent) and good Wi-Fi Internet. The exterior is exceptional: large front terrace with roof and additional lateral elevated spectacular seaview terrace with table and sunshade. Apart from the wonderful view over the sea and sunset in the water ahead, what we mostly appreciated was the seaview barbecue (we had magnificent dinners), the external shower and the comfortable car parking at 2 meters. Finally the place is, I would say, unique: a small group of houses on the top of a hill facing the sea, surrounded by mountains and woods, full of paths and history. The beach below the house (10 min walking) is named La Cala and it is a jewel. It is a varied small pebble beach with a torrent (mostly dry) flowing in the central part. It is the only beach where we found natural shadow (tamarisk trees and reeds) and where we had the most exiting snorkelling. In the end our stay was the best we could find, we will definitely return.

Magnificent
The house is a lovely, fully renovated ancient farmhouse with large stone walls, large seaview front terrace, new kitchen and new bathroom. On the outside, in addition to the front roofed terrace, there is another elevated terrace with full and magnificent overlook on the wide blue sea ahead, Capraia Island in the background and setting of the sun in the water in front. It is so rare and exiting to have the sunset in the water in front of you that we have not missed a day to enjoy it between an aperitif and a dinner. Seaview during the day instead, was enchanting and relaxing. The place is the right frame to this magnificent accomodation: a small cluster of cottages facing the sea at the end of a no exit road. The area is crossed by many paths so we could start from the house and reach the coast and sea below or trek through the wood and mountains behind. Nothing to add, except to confirm that this property is something we dreamed for a long time and finally found. Maya and friends - Munich, Germany
