Here we are going to show you a side of the Isola d’Elba that you might be unfamiliar with. If you want to see it with your eyes, browse our vacation rentals in the area, and come to visit this amazing place.
You are more than likely familiar with Napoleon, at least by name and reputation. What you may not know is that he spent almost a year in exile on the beautiful Italian island of Elba from 1814 to 1815.
Although originally used for little more than the rich iron deposits that were found throughout the island, it is probably best known now as the location of some of the houses that Napoleon lived in during this period of his life.

By far, the most important sites related to Napoleon in Elba are his public residences. During the short time that he was located there he managed to improve the military defense of the island as well as its roads, fisheries, and even agriculture.
You can also visit the private residence of the Emperor which, although somewhat less lavish than his public residents, is still an impressive sight to experience firsthand.
True history buffs will appreciate the museum on the island which houses Napoleon’s death mask.
Of course, even if you have absolutely no interest in Napoleon whatsoever, there is still plenty to see and do on this unique and scenic island. From fortresses and ruins to the beautiful natural landscape itself, an entire vacation itself can be dedicated to exploring all that this area has to offer.
