Villa Elicriso

Portoferraio - Picchiaie

Completely independent villa located in one of the most panoramic areas of the island, a hill in Picchiaie, surrounded by greenery. A place characterized by a unique landscape context, which overlooks the valley from above and reflects the sunset on Monte Capanne. It is located on a hill in a sunny position overlooking the gulf of Portoferraio on one side, and which from the road at the back leads to the gulf of Lacona. A corner of great beauty and intimacy from which to enjoy the spectacle of the surrounding panorama. Here we are in the heart of the Tuscan island and the house is in a privileged position because at the crossroads of some of its most loved beaches - all the beaches north of Portoferraio (Capo Bianco, Sottobomba and Padulella), Le Prade in Schiopparello and to the south Lacona, Margidore, Norsi and others. The charm of the place, the scent of the Mediterranean scrub all around, its simplicity and energy make it an intimate place of tranquility. The house is located on the stretch of the GTE – Grande Traversata Elbana – between Campo ai Peri and Colle Reciso. A series of paths wind around the house for those who love walking and for mountain bike enthusiasts.

Villa Elicriso was chosen as the cover of the May/June 2023 edition of Casa Naturale magazine, the first magazine for building, furnishing and ecological living.
