Gliding into the town of Portoferraio,
you can see why Napoleon chose Elba for his exile: an island of pink granite,
pine forests, and pristine beaches. The contrasts of the Elba countryside--from
its typical fishing villages and high mountain passes to its stylish summer
resorts on the coast--are enchanting. Elba's restaurants feature excellent
seafood, and small private vineyards produce local Moscato and Aleatico wines. |
