Although Procchio is a very small village, it has many shops, bars and restaurants, as well as a public playground for children that hosts a lively craft market and various cultural events in the evenings.
It is located in the central part of the island, a short distance from Marciana Marina, Marina di Campo and Portoferraio.
The real stars of your holiday, however, will be the beach and the sea.
The Procchio bay is long and the golden sandy beach has some bathing establishments equipped to meet everyone's needs.
A short walk starting off right at the hotel takes you straight to this beach that, due to the fact that the water is shallow till quite far out, makes it perfectly safe both for small children and for not-so-good swimmers.
The beautiful coves that lie hidden along the coast, surrounded by lentisk and rosemary, where you can sunbathe in peace or swim in the crystal clear water, make this bay one of the most popular on the island.
Our hotel has an agreement with one of the bathing establishments on the beach, so if guests wish, they can book on site beforehand.
Here is a list of some of the beaches near Procchio:
Campo all'Aia: simply the continuation on the right hand side of the beach in Procchio. As well as a large car park, there are also buoys for small boats, fully equipped bathing establishments, restaurants, bars and a jet-ski rental.
Spartaia: immediately after the beach in Procchio, along the road for Marciana Marina, Spartaia is a shallow water, golden sands beach, 150 meters long, perfect for families with small children. There is a bar on the beach.
Paolina: this beach is called after Paolina, Napoleon's sister, because this is where she most loved to go swimming. It is a small, sandy beach on the road to Marciana Marina, just 2 km from Procchio. Here there is a bar as well as a bathing establishment. The car park, unfortunately, is very small.
Redinoce: small beach access to which is along a small dirt road on the right just before a spacious belvedere about 3 km from Procchio, in the direction of Marciana Marina. There is a bar and small, bathing establishment on the beach.
Marina di Campo: one of Elba's most famous sandy beaches and also one of the longest, along with that in Procchio. Every type of facility is available on this beach that is only 5 km from our hotel.
Cavoli: the most "in" beach on the island, very popular with teenagers. It is a fine, white sands beach, 150 meters long, with more than one bathing establishment. Unfortunately the car park is somewhat limited, so leaving your car nearby isn't always easy. About 10 km from the hotel.
