Review & FAQ:
Elba is a large island within the Tuscan Archipelago in the Tyrrhenian Sea, the nation’s third-largest island region after Sicily and Sardinia.
Historically, the region is best known as the site of French Emperor Napoleon’s 300-day exile in 1814 and 1815, which is documented in detail at Portoferraio’s National Museum of Napoleonic Residences. Today, the island has become known as a prime wine tourist destination in Tuscany, known for its beautiful beaches and summertime resort residences. A network of road racing trails span the island, including a noted stretch between Rio nell’Elba and Porto Azzurro linked to famed 20th-century racer Fausto Coppi.
