Villa Lacona

Full Description

Located a scenic ferry ride from central Tuscany, Elba is a magical island bordered by turquoise waters and spectacular beaches. Tucked above Portoferrraio, Villa Lacona is the ultimate luxury villa in Tuscany for those seeking to experience the island’s natural beauty and charm.

Designed to make the most of its extraordinary vistas, the villa boasts airy interiors with plentiful windows and French doors, creating seamless indoor/outdoor living. The villa features a double living room with three inviting sitting areas, one with a modern fireplace, and a third sitting area conveniently located by the entrance. Guests can enjoy both a home and outdoor cinema equipped with Netflix and Amazon Prime, while the dining room adjacent to the well-equipped kitchen provides the perfect space for indoor meals, with some bar seating adding casual flexibility.

Villa Lacona has five beautifully designed bedrooms, including four double en-suites and one twin room with a bathroom across the hall. The master bedroom and its en-suite are wheelchair accessible. Each bedroom has its own personality and color scheme, with many offering direct outdoor access and luxurious tub/shower combinations in select en-suites.

The villa is fully equipped for modern comfort, with Wi-Fi throughout, Bluetooth loudspeakers, air conditioning in all rooms, and convenient laundry facilities.

Outdoors, the villa offers a panoramic terrace with built-in seating and stylish cushions, surrounded by pine trees, olive groves, and native vegetation. The long infinity pool extends toward the sparkling sea, complemented by sunbeds and a pool terrace perfect for soaking in the view. Scenic trekking and mountain biking trails surround the villa, including paths leading to the historic Villa di San Martino, Napoleon Bonaparte’s summer residence. A charming beach with a beach club and restaurants is just seven minutes away, and the island’s more than seventy other beaches offer endless opportunities for paddleboarding, snorkeling, and water sports. Local villages provide a glimpse of authentic Elban culture, making Villa Lacona a fully immersive luxury villa experience in Tuscany.

Villa Lacona is the epitome of a luxury villa in Tuscany, where comfort, elegance, and nature come together to create an unforgettable holiday retreat. Please note this villa is not available to children below the age of 6, as the terrain around the house is steep and the pool is not fenced.
