This charming newly refurbished XVIII century Villa faces the spectacular gulf of Porto Azzurro, with its crystal blue waters. Since mid-summer 2021 a new fabolous private pool with beach area and solarium is available for Villa Bacci guests. The pool is located 60mts from the Villa and gets sun all day long. It is fully fenced for safety reason and to give privacy to the users and it is for exclusive use of Villa Bacci guests. The swimming pool is perfectly integrated in the area and is characterized by nice stone walls to match the XVII century ones and by marble slabs in the solarum, bought from the owner in an exclusive cave in Puglia (south of Italy). Pool facilities (sun loungers, sun umbrellas, teak chairs and table) are located in the area to guarantee extreme comfort to the guests. A shaded gazebo built with peeled chestnut poles has been built in the pool garden for relaxing moments and to enjoy drinks or food during the day. The 350sqm Villa hosts 14 people in seven fully air conditioned double bed rooms, finely furnished with antiques. The Property, surrounded by olive, lemon, secular pine trees and palms, has a big flowered garden and a private coppice with all the facilities to enjoy the outdoor life. The Villa, which is a Tuscan Architectural Heritage, is characterized by original terracotta floors, terracotta vaults, a spectacular elliptical stone staircase and it is furnished with antiques. The garden has a large ‘800 iron archway that leads to the private vineyard and to the shaded parking area. From the privileged location it is possible to enjoy unique breath-taking views,while drinking an aperitivo with local wine from the Villa’s vineyard. A second home for enjoying both the country and seaside of Tuscany, exploring the magnificent beauty of Elba and relaxing in absolute privacy with family and friends. Since January 2015 Free unlimited WI-FI is available at Villa Bacci. It is the perfect location to enjoy a nice holiday with family and friend in a isolated position far from the crowd. Since 2020 we increased the cleaning standard to ensure a safe environment (i.e. use of sanitizing products for floors and use of industrially sanitized mattress and pillows covers). The house has been mentioned by a local turistic web site as the most beautiful in the Porto Azzurro area and one of the most beautiful in the entire island.

Majority of guests are very happy about the property. This is a very nice message i received recently from Don, an American guest who got married at Villa Bacci and that i would like to share with oter potential guests:
"If you are looking for a magical, historic Italian villa for a family vacation than stop searching and be confident that you will love Villa Bacci on Elba Island. You are perched on a mountain top overlooking the sea, olive trees and a winery. The Villa itself is a destination you want to savor. Spacious, refined interior rooms and bedrooms. The bathrooms are large, beautifully tiled and every room has a view to be captivated by. Even with a large group it never feels crowded because there are so many places to spread out inside and outside. Pergolas with wisteria for a game of cards in the shade. Morning coffee taking in the breathtaking view below. Every corner offers a great place to gather or find a space to enjoy the scenery in peace. Then there is the spectacular pool area with the same view of the sea! It is accessed by taking a short walk along a stone lined path shaded by ancient trees behind the house that opens up to a pool area that is out of this world spectacularly beautiful! I love how it has a safety lock for children, shade with another pergola, lounge chairs and umbrellas and a view that feels like you have been transported in time.
The house has everything you would need to prepare meals and have family dinners together in the gorgeous dining room that also has a view. Only everyone in our group wanted to eat outside on the patio every night. The owners have had this home, which it truly is, in their family for two centuries. It was an incredible experience to be able to be in a home so clearly loved and meticulously maintained. Even the historic family photos of Villa Bacci on the hallway wall tell a story of a place that has an ability to create incredible, indelible memories.
If you are thinking of visiting Elba than I can say without a doubt you will love Villa Bacci"

our entire family, grand-parents, parents and kids enjoyed the time at Villa Bacci.
We loved the marvellous view over bay Porto Azzurro, appreciated the authentic of the house, and the nice time near to the swimming pool.
We already consider renting the house next year
We felt very comfortable in beautiful Villa Bacci.
We didn't miss anything.
The location and the view were very nice, including the beautiful pool.
Thank you for a great week on Elba.

Hello Alexandra,
Thank you very much for your nice review. I am really glad that you enjoyed your stay at Villa Bacci. I do the best to keep it in good shape for the guests. Kind regards, Alfredo
If you want an authentic stay in a beautiful location, villa Bacci is for you. The view from the house and the pool is unbeatable, and Porto Azzurro is a beautiful place to go for a stroll. Communication with Alfredo was very easy, no matter the reason. A very nice place, especially if you go with a large group of people.

We had a fantastic week at Villa Bacci, it’s a beautiful and unique villa with the most stunning views. Off the beaten track but a short drive to Porto Azzuro and Capoliveri, two of the most picturesque towns on the island and in a good location to explore many of Elba’s beautiful beaches. Lovely pool and outside space. Great communication with the host Alfredo and house manager Giovanni. Thank you for a great stay!
This was a whole family, 3 generational holiday. Staying in Villa Bacci was the reason the holiday was such a success. Room to spread out upstairs, a large terrace in front, with beautiful views over Port Azzurro. Refreshing swimming pool with a childproof fence and garden area for the little ones to explore and play in. And Alfredo always helpful when needed.
Elba is spectacular too. Altogether pretty perfect.

Villa Bacci is a truly beautiful 1800's villa, restored to an Italian 1800's style with incredible views over Porto Azzurro and Capoliveri. Alfredo is a very helpful host who was always available if I had a question to ask the response was always very quick and useful, with tips on what to do on a cloudy day. We were a family of 3 couples and everyone had their own space. A great villa, location, host and pool. Thank you.

Hello Dan,
Thank you so much for your superb review, i really appreciated it. I am so happy that you enjoyed Villa Bacci and you had a great time there. I hope you will come back in the future.
The house is wonderful and the view is incredibly beautiful. we really enjoyed the stay. The way tobte Villa is difficult to find and extremely bumpy. Four wheel drive would be good. Alfredo and Giovanni were super helpful and nice. The terrace is just a dream! There were enough bathrooms for our group of four families with teenagers. Some of the rooms are small. Kitchen (very tiny, cooking with several people is a bit difficult), washing machine, air conditioning (but watch the electricity costs), barbecue - everything works perfectly. The pool is great, but cold and a bit away from the house. Unfortunately you have to walk up a dusty, rocky path. Despite small points with room for improvement, we would come back and absolutely recommend it.

Hello Marc,
Thank you for your nice review that is very appreciated including the reccomensaftions that are always useful. I give you some info to better understand some aspects of the Villa. The road is adjusted every year and unfortunately can’t be asphalted as it is forbidden by the Tuscan Park but in some ways in a country house you do not expect an asphalted road. The pool has been located 70mts from the house to give privacy and quietness to the Villa (pool areas are normally quite noisy), to keep it cleaned from the pine trees that are around the Villa and over all to guarantee sun exposition all day long. The kitchen had a close room that is supposed to be a kind of support room for food preparation. Lastly all rooms are quite big a pet two that are slightly smaller but have all the facilities and space you need. I hope to see you soon back in Villa Bacci for another great holiday.
Ciao Alfredo
We were a family of 14 from the age 10 to 80 years old and everybody was happy and enjoyed Villa Bacci very much. Villa Bacci can room so many people because of its size and the authentic way it is build.
Villa Bacci has outstanding view and surroundings with space for everyone. Our family has traveled all over the world, and we all agreed that this has been one of the most spectacular places we have stayed.
We have enjoyed the authentic house, the very beautiful view over the sea and vineyards, and the swimming pool. We enjoyed the swimming pool during daytime and had sandwiches at the table in the shadow. The terrasse, with the beautiful view, was used morning and evening, where we enjoyed self-made food with ingredients from the local shops. We spend most of the holiday relaxing in the beautiful environment of Villa Bacci.
We can recommend you too order chief Michele Nardi to make a dinner for you. He takes care of everything, and it was very delicious.
If you rent Villa Bacci you don’t have to go out, because it is so beautiful and relaxing to live in.
We all hope to come back to Elba and beautiful Villa Bacci.

Dear Barbara,

Die Lage, der Pool und das gesamte Anwesen sind wunderschön. Leider war der Weg zur Villa Bacci durch vorherige starke Regenfälle mit normalen PKW schlecht zu befahren. Dies müsste ausgebessert werden.

Liebe Claudia,
Ich freue mich sehr, dass Ihr Urlaub so gut verlaufen ist und Sie die Villa Bacci und ihre Attraktionen genossen haben.
Dieses Jahr war die Straße aufgrund der häufigen und starken Regenfälle etwas holprig. Wir reparieren sie jedes Jahr zu Saisonbeginn, und dieses Jahr dauerte es weniger als erwartet. Vielen Dank für Ihren Bericht. Ich werde sie umgehend reparieren lassen.
Herzliche Grüße
Un posto meraviglioso con vista stupenda!Einzigartige Villa mit mehr als 180 Grad Meerblick. Gepflegtes Anwesen, super Pool. Hervorragend geeignet für einen entspannten Großfamilien-Urlaub. Beste Kommunikation mit Alfredo und Giovanni vor Ort. Haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Mille Grazie!
Das Objekt ist eine wunderschöne, gut erhaltene und teilweise modernisierte Villa mit traumhafter Aussicht sowohl von der Villa als auch vom Pool. Die Bäder sind meist geräumig und mit großen Duschen ausgestattet. Die Räume sind stielvoll möbliert und ausgestattet. Man fühlt sich direkt zurückversetzt in die "gute alte Zeit". Der Eigentümer versorgt einen mit vielen Informationen zur Villa und zur Gegend und kümmert sich auch sonst um das Wohlbefinden der Gäste. Die Villa war bei unserer Ankunft frisch gereinigt und der "Check In" erfolgte pünktlich und problemlos. Lediglich der Anfahrtsweg ist etwas holprig und nicht sportwagentauglich.
Es war eine unterhaltsame, intensive und abwechslungsreiche Woche mit unseren Söhnen, deren Partnerinnen und Kinder.

Guten Morgen Alex,
Ich bin froh, dass der Urlaub gut verlaufen ist. Das schlechte Wetter tut mir leid, es kann den Urlaubsgenuss durchaus trüben. Danke für die nette Bewertung
Soeben aus unserem Grossfamilien-Urlaub zurück, sind wir glücklich, eine wunderbare Zeit in der Villa Bacci verbracht zu haben.
Die Kommunikation mit Alfredo war vor, während und nach dem Urlaub sehr gut und umfassend; er hat sich immer nach dem Befinden erkundigt und seine Hilfe angeboten. Das CheckIn und CheckOut mit Giovanni war sehr freundlich und schnell und eine leere Gasflasche für den Grill wurde umgehend von ihm ersetzt.
Die Lage der Villa und der Ausblick ist atemberaubend. Umgeben von riesigen Pinien und Palmen, einem Weinberg und viel Natur (inkl. Fasanen und Hasen), kann man sich bestens erholen. Das Übrige tut der wunderschöne, gepflegte Pool.
In der Villa hatten wir viel Platz für uns 11 Erwachsene und unsere zwei Enkel.
Die Schlafzimmer bieten viel Stauraum und sind geräumig. Bis auf ein kleines Bad im EG, sind die Bäder gross und sehr gut ausgestattet.
Die Küche und der angrenzende "Lagerraum" bietet alles an Ausstattung, was man zum kochen für eine grosse Gruppe braucht.
Der Anfahrtsweg ist in den asphaltierten und naturbelassen Abschnitten "etwas" holperig, ist aber selbst mit einem normalen Kleinwagen gut zu bewältigen (auch während und nach Regenfällen); während unseres Aufenthaltes wurde ein etwas steileres, zerfurchtes Wegstück ausgeebnet.
Wenn man die Wegbeschreibung von Alfredo befolgt, findet man problemlos zur Villa.
Fazit: wenn wieder einmal ein Familienurlaub auf Elba geplant ist, ist die Villa Bacci erste Wahl!
Grazie mille, Alfredo

Hallo Andreas,
Vielen Dank für die wunderbare Bewertung. Ich freue mich sehr, dass Ihr Urlaub gut verlaufen ist und Sie die Villa Bacci, ihre Aussicht und die Umgebung genossen haben. Ich hoffe aufrichtig, dass Sie nächstes Jahr wiederkommen. Nochmals vielen Dank, Alfredo
Tolle alleinstehende geräumige Villa fern ab vom Trubel, sehr ruhig, Platz für über 10 Personen, leicht zu erreichen 5 Min. von Hauptstraße (teilweise Schotter - kein Problem). Fantastische Aussicht über die Bucht von Porto Azzurro. Toller Pool (sauber, täglich gereinigt!). Exzellente Kommunikation sowohl mit Host (Alfredo) als auch mit Hausmeister vor Ort (Giovanni), sowohl vor Check In als auch während des Aufenthaltes. Insgesamt nur zu empfehlen!!
Kleine Kritikpunkte:
-man muss mit erheblichen Zusatzkosten rechnen (Reinigung, Bettwäsche, Strom (!)), über 500€ für eine vierköpfige Familie/Woche. Zu der Zeit meiner Buchung teiliweise nicht aufgeführt (steht jetzt aber drin, daher nun mehr Transparenz).
- teilweise nicht sehr sauberes Geschirr (Essensreste vom Vorgänger), etwas ältere Küchengeräte (z.B. Außengrill defekt)

Hello Matthias,
Thank you for your nice review. I am glad that you had a god time with family at Villa Bacci. Regarding the extra costs i am sorry if it was a surprise for you but this is strange as I clearly indicate them in the website before booking, in the booklet i send to guests one month before and in the e-mail i send 3 days before the beginning of the holiday. I will check again all the property descriprion to make sure they are fully visible. cleaning is 180€, electricity is 0,5€/kw and bed sheets are paid only if you rent them otherwise if you bring your own you do not pay anything. Anyway it is important that you enjoyed the Villa, the nice view and the holiday in general. KInd regards, Alfredo
Super Villa, super gepflegt, wunderschöne Aussicht auf das Meer und die Dörfer. Wie die Bilder vermitteln sollen aber noch viel schöner.Unkomplizierte und schnelle Kommunikation mit dem Hausbesitzer und auch mit dem Verwalter vor Ort. Herzlichen Dank für die schöne Zeit.
Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in Alfredos Villa! Riesig groß, mit allem ausgestattet, was wir brauchten und vor allem mit der besten Aussicht ever!
Es war an Ostern noch etwas kalt, aber die Heizung hat gut funktioniert. Den Pool kann man im April noch nicht nutzen, das sollte in der Anzeige erwähnt werden.
Die Anreisebeschreibung in den sehr gute Reiseunterlagen ist etwas irreführend (ein Wegweiser ist falsch beschrieben), aber wir haben den Weg dennoch gefunden.
Küche ist gut ausgestattet, wir haben fast immer zusammen gekocht - einzig für 4 - 5 Personen zum Arbeiten etwas wenig Platz, aber das sind halt die baulichen Voraussetzungen.
Insgesamt sind wir mit einem positiven Gefühl abgereist und könnten uns gut vorstellen, ein weiteres Mal in der Villa Bacci zu residieren :-)
Hatten eine wunderschöne Woche.
Die Villa hält was sie verspricht😉.
Ideal für eine unkomplizierte Ferienwoche, Lage ist traumhaft!!!
Waren 12 Personen ( 6 Erwachsene, 6 Kinder ( zw. 5&9J.)) Gerne kommen wir wieder😊.
Wir waren mit unserem Aufenthalt in der Villa Bacci sehr zufrieden. Die Lage ist in der Tat traumhaft und auch das Haus selbst entspricht voll und ganz der Beschreibung. Der Außenbereich mit dem wunderbaren Pool ist ausgesprochen gepflegt. Im Haus selbst, insbesondere im Erdgeschoss, hätte es ein wenig sauberer sein können. Aber das ist tatsächlich der einzige kleine Kritikpunkt.
Erwähnenswert ist auch die gute und freundliche Betreuung bereits vor der Anreise und auch während des Aufenthaltes. So blieben wirklich keine Fragen offen.
Danke nochmals für alles, wir würden gerne eines Tages wiederkommen!

Kind regards

Wir haben in diesem schönen Haus mit der Großfamilie Urlaub gemacht. Der Austausch mit dem Vermieter war exzellent. Er selbst war auf Reisen, hat sich aber immer wieder nach unserem Wohlergehen erkundigt und auch seine Schwester war als Ansprechpartner verfügbar. Das Haus war sehr sauber und spätestens jeden 2. Tag wurde der Wunderschöne Pool gereinigt.
Der Pool ist ein Glück( als wir gebucht haben, gab es noch keinen). Wenn man zu Fuß im Sommer, Einkäufe tätigt, weiß man ihn nach solch einem Marsch sehr zu schätzen.
Einige von uns hatten Schwierigkeiten, das Haus zu finden...beziehungsweise das Haus war kein Problem...das war zu sehen...doch der Weg dorthin ...hält man sich jedoch strikt an Alfredos Anweisungen könnte es auf Anhieb gelingen...die deutsche Sichtweise wie eine Strasse auszusehen hat, sollte dabei aber vermieden werden.
Wir sind aber sogar mit einem Anhänger den Berg hinaufgekommen.
Ich denke wer Mountainbike fährt wird glückselig sein in diesem schönen Haus, auch wandern bietet sich an. Wenn man allerdings schlecht zu Fuß ist und nicht gerne holperige Feldwege mit dem Auto zurücklegt ist man dort nur glücklich, wenn es einem ausreicht, sich im schönen Garten, am Pool, den liebevoll eingerichteten Zimmern oder der wunderschönen Terasse aufzuhalten.
Perfekt finde ich das Haus für 12 Personen.
Das 7. Zimmer liegt direkt hinter der Küche und ist etwas klein, das Bett ist gut aber als Rückzugsraum wenn man mit einer großen Gruppe unterwegs ist (die viel kocht )eher nicht so gut geeignet. Es ist als Zimmer ok...aber im Vergleich zu den anderen Zimmern hält es nicht stand.
Wir möchten uns nochmals ganz herzlich bei Alfredo für die gute Kommunikation bedanken und wünschen allen die dieses schöne Haus buchen einen tollen Aufenthalt.

Hello Sabine,
Thank you so much for your great review. I am very glad that you had a great time and that you enjoyed the outdoor life. Villa Bacci can offer very much for its guests and can meet the needs of everybody. The Pool is for sure a great facility very appreciated by everybody.
KInd regards

A truly memorable holiday enjoyed by the whole family.
We found Villa Bacci to be a special and an impressive property commanding a wonderful view over Porto Azzurro. It is in easy reach of this characterful port; its shops, bars and eateries; walking for the young and fit or driving. On some days we rented boats and bicycles and explored some of the island. Several good beaches were within an easy drive. The spacious villa and its substantial and verdant outdoors comfortably accommodated our thirteen and its age range in its bedrooms, bathrooms and its indoor and outside living spaces. The swimming pool met all our expectations and was a continuous source of fun and relaxation for the whole group. What we enjoyed most was the scope the villa provided to either relax and do little or get out and be active, of which the younger members of the group took full advantage. We appreciated Alfredo always being on immediate hand to answer questions or deal with requests. One such request was arranging a cook, Paolo, to prepare two excellent meals for us. The wonderful lasagne was a great success. Villa Bacci is a place we would all be very happy to return to.

About the host
Hosted by Alfredo De Flora
Architect, aged 50, based in Genova and who has lived abroad (Spain and UK) for a while. I really love my family Villa that was bought in 1810 by my ancestor Salvatore, a doctor from Florence, who enjoyed the island and who started to produce wine that was transported by sailing boat to Genoa. As an architect, I took care in the last years of the renovation of the whole house, including the garden, with full respect of its history, architecture and materials. I did a conservative refurbishment using traditional local materials and increasing the already high living standards of the house. I travel a lot for business and Villa Bacci is for me a paradise place where to rest from stress and work and where to relax and enjoy with family or friends in front of unique views of the seaside and countryside.
Why they chose this property
Because it is unique. It is a Tuscan Architectural Heritage Villa, one of the oldest building in Porto Azzurro and it is in a superb location, in the typical Tuscan countryside, just a few minutes away from the best beaches of Elba island. With the new 2021 pool facility the property is becoming even more exclusive and quite unique in the Elba panorama. The house has a private vineyard where a great and tasty white wine is produced. All guests have always been very happy about Villa Bacci and this makes me feel well. Very reccomended for families, group of friends and people who likes outdoor life and sports (jogging, cycling, etc). The house is conveniently located by the GTE (Grande Treversata Elbana), a spectacular footpath that crosses the whole island. Is worth trying a part of it, believe me.
What makes this property unique
Private pool facility, A/C all over the house, sightseeing, quiteness, relax, unlimited WI Fi connection, charming eniviroment, private vineyard with tasty wine....and much more that you have to discover

English, Italian, Spanish
