The Local Area

Hotel Biodola is situated in Biodola on the central north coast of Elba, 7km from the ferry port of Portoferraio and 9km from Marino di Campo airport.  It is in an ideal location to explore the island including Portoferraio, the main town on the island and Monte Capanne (1,019m) the highest point on the island, reached by cable car for superb views of Elba.

Being just 27km long and 5km wide, guests can explore the island easily including Napoléonic houses, De Laugier barracks, Linguella Roman villa, markets, historic churches, vineyards and the lovely coastline with numerous lovely beaches.

Huw's View

Hotel Biodola is suitable for families and has gained an excellent reputation for its location and quality of service over the years.

This hotel is the perfect choice for families who are looking for a beach hotel with pool, restaurant and activities along with a children’s club. Biodola is also a good base to explore the island.  

We would recommend this hotel for either a few days as part of a combination holiday or for a longer stay.
