Elba Island, Italy hotel rooms at the Independent

"Il proprietario mi ha contattata una settimana prima, perché non avevano terminato i lavori. Mi ha proposto, a sue spese, l'hotel Barracuda resort, che ho accettato dopo aver visionato il link. È stato corretto e gentile, mi ha chiamata più volte e l'hotel in cui ho soggiornato mi ha offerto un servizio superiore a quello prenotato. Per questo motivo l'hotel Tamerici merita il massimo punteggio."

"Amazing hotel staff are all so helpful nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast and dinner plentiful with lots of choice. Pool nice and warm"

"Great hotel, very friendly staff (less so the head receptionist), good food, beautiful view, too much bird poop on the balcony (not cleaned). All in all nice!"

"Beautiful location. Reception clerk helpful in showing us the path to town and a dinner recommendation. View from room amazing. The only negative is the spa hot tub was not hot or clean. The Turkish spa was great. "

"Very pleasant stay. Very friendly staff, clean throughout, good breakfast whats not to like. Also, a short walk to beach and restaurants. Would recommend but probably very busy in the summer months."

"Excellent staff. Everyone helpful, courteous and friendly. Fantastic views. Great beach access. Only complaint is thin walls of room. We could hear every word of people in next room."

"Not sure why this place has a 4 star rating, a 3-star rating is being nice. While it’s close to the beach and the house keeping staff were amazing, that’s about all the nice things I can say. The check in staff was rude and basically threw us our key and didn’t explain anything. We got yelled at for parking near our room after being told to park there to unload our bags ourselves. While there is a private beach for the hotel, they don’t tell you beforehand hand that you have to pay to use it....

"Hard to get to with bus system"

"Very few parking spaces to claim parking available. It’s not."

"This property is beautiful! Your own private beach, aperitivo by the pool, buffet breakfast and multi course lunches and dinners. What more do you need? The rooms are pretty basic, but the views are incredible. Service is excellent and the staff is friendly. We would stay here again."
