Description:
Porto Azzurro is located on the east side of Elba. At only 15 kilometers from Portoferraio, Porto Azzurro is a good parlour of Elba where hill-houses in pastel colors frame the harbor that recently has rendered the remainders of an ancient Roman mill. Porto Azzurro is the heart of the islands' worldly pleasures that take place around the lively piazza Matteotti and also offers interesting possibilities of excursions in the villages immediate vicinity. It is certainly well worth visiting the Fortresses San Giacomo and Del Focardo, built in the 17:th century by the Spanish, as well as the Sanctuary della Madonna del Monserrato that can be reached by taking on to the road to Rio nell'Elba
