POMONTE
Among the most charming and authentic villages on the Island of Elba, located on the Costa del Sole on the western side of the island, bordering the municipalities of Marciana and Campo nell'Elba.
Pomonte is a picturesque seaside village, nestled between the sea and the mountains, appearing like a nativity scene on the water. It is quiet, not overly touristy, and maintains a relaxed atmosphere, ideal for those seeking a more authentic vacation, with a slow pace, immersed in nature and tranquility, for those who prefer the crystal-clear sea and outdoor activities to the social life.
In the summer, for generations, local children and teenagers have mingled with tourists from all over the world, playing beach games and competing in cliff-diving competitions. They meet in the square in the evenings for other entertainment, and new friendships and companionships are formed that often last beyond the holiday period. Adults can savor local cuisine in family-run restaurants, enjoy an aperitivo on the rocks, relax while sipping excellent cocktails, or wake up with an espresso or cappuccino in the bars in the square. Or, take a pizza to the beach for a smart dinner at sunset. In Pomonte, you can taste one of the island's best artisanal ice creams, and buy bread, schiacciata, pizza, groceries, meat, and traditional products. There's a tobacconist, a newsstand, a pharmacy, a beachwear shop, and a vital emergency response center. In July, August, and September, unmissable village festivals are held, where you'll find local fish and game dishes prepared by the villagers.

Pomonte is one of the best spots on Elba to watch the sunset; the sun dips into the sea just behind the silhouette of Corsica, painting the sky orange and purple, offering unforgettable moments.

THE WRECK
Pomonte's main attraction is the Elviscot Wreck, a merchant ship that sank in 1972 near the Ogliera Rock. Just 160 meters from the shore, it's easily accessible by swimming and offers an unforgettable experience for adventurous adults and children alike: perfectly visible even with just a mask and snorkel, the two halves of the wreck lie at a depth of about 12 meters, but in some places they reach almost 2 meters from the surface. The wreck has become a true marine ecosystem, home to a wide variety of fish and marine flora, and you can enjoy a unique spectacle swimming among the fish in the crystal-clear water.

POMONTE'S BEACHES
Pomonte doesn't have sand, but several pebble beaches of various colors and sizes and flat granite cliffs, all easily accessible on foot from each apartment. The pebbled seabed ensures exceptional water clarity, perfect for those who love to observe the seabed.
"SPIAGGIA DEL RELITTO" (SHIPWRECK BEACH): dark basalt and serpentinite pebbles of medium to small size, it is mainly occupied by a beach club (open from June to September).
"SPIAGGIA DELLE SCALETTE" (SCALETTE BEACH) is the closest to our apartments. It is composed of white granite pebbles of various sizes. It is free, with easy access to the sea, even for small children, thanks to the shallow, gently sloping seabed, and is therefore the most popular with families.
"SPIAGGIA DELL'OGLIERA" (OGLIERA BEACH) is the wildest and least crowded, even in August, as it is the most difficult to reach. It is composed of dark pebbles.
The northernmost part of the Pomonte coast is characterized by a large, smooth, light-colored granite cliff, "IL CALELLO," ideal for sunbathing and diving, with gently sloping seabeds in several places that allow for easy entry and exit from the water. This is the area most popular with young people, especially the rocks around the "MOLETTO," a pier 3 meters above sea level once used as a dock for boats loaded with granite and wine, now used primarily by young people as a diving board.
All this is just minutes away from other towns with sandy beaches, allowing you to enjoy the best of both worlds.

HIKING AND OUTDOOR
Pomonte is more than just "beach and sea," it's a favorite destination for those who enjoy combining time on the beach with hiking or mountain biking: behind it lies the Pomonte Valley (the largest on the island), which extends from the town to Monte Capanne (1,017 m). The valley is crisscrossed by ditches, streams, and old mule tracks. Once entirely cultivated with vineyards on stone terraces, it has now become a hub for hikers of all levels, allowing you to immerse yourself in the scents of the Mediterranean scrub, including strawberry trees, cistus, mastic, myrtle, lavender, and broom. Climbing the mountains offers wonderful views of the rest of Elba, the Tuscan Archipelago, and Corsica.

THE WEST COAST OF ELBA
Don't miss the Costa del Sole's famous beautiful sandy beaches of Fetovaia, Seccheto, Cavoli, and Sant'Andrea, as well as the long beaches of Marina di Campo and Procchio, are just a few of the many options. For a touch of historic atmosphere, visit the medieval villages of Marciana and Poggio on the north side, and San Piero and Sant'Ilario to the south. For an evening stroll through the shops, spend an evening in Marciana Marina, a charming town with a marina, and Marina di Campo, larger towns with great nightlife.

These are just a few of the highlights of your vacation in Pomonte. If you're sure of your choice, we'll send you even more details so your Elba vacation remains one of your most cherished memories!
We look forward to seeing you in Pomonte!
