I can find no fault with Porta del Mare, clean, charming, comfortable, warm and helpful hosts, a huge bathroom, great breakfast at the cafe downstairs. A million dollar view. I even managed the 68 stairs and I'm 70 years old. Definitely good value. Thankyou for everything Rossella.

My boyfriend and I stayed at this bnb for two nights in may 2022- and it was spectacular! The room is simple and beautiful, it had a lot of character, and it was very, very clean and comfortable! It had everything you needed, bed, bathroom, mini fridge… and an amazing view!! Rosella the owner was fantastic, even though we did not speak Italian she was able to communicate with us and show us around the room, truly great customer service! She was very very kind and made our stay so much more comfortable knowing we were in great hands! The bnb was quite and it was the perfect place to relax. The view was truly the best part, I cannot simply put into words how amazing it was! For coffee in the morning- I recommend the bar under the arch, you can see it through the window! Great people and great coffee, and very nice to tourists- I do not recommend the bar downstairs as the man working there didn’t seem to like tourists too much… or so it seemed, we paid €2.50 for a tiny bottle of water… which is not ideal as they are usually not that pricy. Overall amazing experience, and we will 100% be returning back to Porta Del Mare the next time we’re in Elba! Grazie mille Rosella e Porta Del Mare BnB per aver reso il nostro viaggio all'Elba indimenticabile, a presto! - Olivia (from Toronto, Canada)

Very clean rooms, comfortable bed. Noisy in the evening, but that is always the price if you want to stay in the center. Very close to everything: bars, restorants. There is a supermarket CRAI nearby. For the morning cappuccino go to La Gran Guardia or Bar Certosa: a couple of steps from the place.

This is a delightful and restful place to stay in the old port. It is near wonderful restaurants and historical sights. The town is full of stairs including the B and B which adds to its charm but is challenging for those with mobility issues. Parking is difficult which makes it difficult to tour the island from here unless you use the bus. Rosella and Bruno were helpful and shared their knowledge of how Elba works.

Bruno and Rossella were the most amazing hosts and gave us a lot of tips regarding beaches and restaurants. The room was very clean and cosy and perfectly located in the old center of Portoferraio, which is the reason why it can get quite noisy during the night when you leave the windows open. Other than that we had a wonderful stay and would definately stay here again

My wife & I stayed with Rossella & Bruno in June. We arrived & took a taxi from the port to the B & B for 10 euros. However, once you are familiar with the area it is walkable in 10 - 15 minutes with cases. We were met by Bruno & he insisted on carrying our 2 fairly heavy suitcases up the 4 flights to the appartment. A very nice gesture & greatly appreciated after the 4 flights of stairs we had negotiated on the Toremar ferry. We were introduced to Rossellla & then shown to our lovely room, Grecale, with stunning views over the harbour & old town. As most reviews have stated the room & apartment are very clean & the web site has very accurate pictures. You are very near to lots of restaurants, bars & some lovely shops, not all aimed @ the tourists. Rossella & Bruno are charming hosts & were quick to give us their personal recommendations for restaurants. Also, they gave us timetables for the local buses to other beaches & towns. This is either a short walk to town by the ferry arrivals or if going to Biodola beach the blue bus stops near to the Fiorella clothes shop on the harbour front & is 2 euros return. A great service & you can either buy tickets @ the tabbachi on Piazza Cavour, or from the driver for a slight surcharge. Breakfast is over the Piazza @ Café Roma, where you each can have a fresh pastry & coffee for 6 euros. The staff are really friendly & welcomed us each day. You can sit looking @ the massive yachts docked in the picturesque harbour. However, in the morning the road is back open, so there is some traffic but we never found this an issue. We had a fantastic time in Elba, & the holiday I believe was enhanced by staying @ this delightful B & B. Thanks Rossella & Bruno for your fantastic service on our last day & for making our holiday so special. We loved it.

We stayed in the room that didn't have an ensuite but our bathroom (which was huge) was just across the hall so it was fine. The room had a large double bed and a beautiful view of the harbour and shops below. The place was very clean and tidy, and the hosts were absolutely lovely - so friendly and helpful! We had breakfast every morning in Cafe Roma across the road which was a coffee and a delicious choice of pastries. Porta del Mare is in a perfect location, about a 10 minute walk from the ferry and right next to the harbour next to all the waterside shops/cafes/restaurants. We had the best time staying here and only have great things to say about it. Thank you for having us!

Great stay in mid-April with Bruno and Rossella. Their appartment is located absolutely centrally in the old town, on the fourth floor (careful for the wary, no elevator, makes for your daily exercise) in a lovely re-furbished 19th-century house. In the cooler months, you'd be greeted by the sweet scent of their two woodstoves (one in the salon, one in their kitchen). Big room, amazing view on the harbour, which is literally on their doorstep. They offer no breakfast yet will point you to one of the may bars/cafes in town where you can start your day.
