Elba Island

In the medieval village of Rio nell'Elba, this extraordinary residence known as the Green House stands out for its profile enveloped in lush vegetation and for its exceptionally beautiful setting, nestled between the rolling hills of Elba and the deep blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Fully renovated in 2018 using high-quality materials and with meticulous attention to detail, the property seamlessly combines the authentic charm of a historic village with the comfort of a contemporary home. Bright and harmoniously arranged across multiple levels with independent entrances, the interiors feature refined finishes and a pleasant visual continuity between indoor and outdoor living spaces. The 1,400-square-meter terraced garden unfolds across several descending levels, creating a succession of vibrant greenery, Mediterranean fragrances, and unexpected scenic corners. Bougainvillea and fruit trees alternate with intimate seating areas, outdoor dining spaces, and a magnificent panoramic terrace from which the eye can wander across the surrounding hills and the sea. This enchanting outdoor setting has been designed for year-round enjoyment, enhanced by a barbecue area and spacious relaxation zones immersed in nature.
Situated 165 meters above sea level, Rio nell'Elba enjoys a strategic location for reaching some of the island's most beautiful beaches, from long stretches of golden sand to charming coves of dark volcanic pebbles. The area also offers scenic hiking trails, historic villages, and a vibrant cultural identity. The port of Piombino, with ferry connections to the mainland, is easily accessible, making this property an ideal primary residence as well as an exclusive seasonal retreat.
