The Ilio proved to be the perfect destination after a long road-air-boat journey from the English Midlands. From the welcoming prosecco to the fond farewells a week later, we were positively cossetted by proprietor Maurizio, his wife Anita and their wonderful staff. Nothing was too much trouble - not even my strange diet that had the capocuoco pulling his hair... more

It's hard for me ot imagine a better place in the world to enjoy a week (or two) than the Hotel Ilio. The location is fabulous—near a fine beach framed by really interesting rock formations and stunningly clear water. The setting of the hotel is Edenic—with the units set amidst vineyards, bountiful lemon trees, oleander, and bougainvillea. Different positions on... more

Certainly explain a fabulous vacancy with a few words, is not simple. I stayed 5 nights on the beautiful island, but I think the next time I will stay two weeks. There is such a lot of things to do and to see . I did snorkelling in the blue and clear sea of Sant’Andrea , then for three times... more

We are two couples of friends and love travelling in the springtime. My parents told us of a little hotel on the elba island. Visiting their website we saw so beautiful colors, red and violet flowers overall, the blue sea and white beaches... It seemed a paradise. We booked two Green Rooms( there was no sea-view, but we slept very... more

We booked this hotel based on the reviews on this site and from looking at the hotel website. We really thought it would be something very special but it was just an ordinary hotel. The room was fairly small and basic but we had a nice seaview. The breakfast was adequate, nothing special. We thought it odd that we HAD... more

We have found the hotel through an Elba website and were very impressed by the page and the pictures of the hotel. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment when we arrive. We booked the biggest room (considered to be the "honeymoon suite") and where very surprised about the size of the room especially it was promoted to be two rooms.... more

We stayed in the Hotel Ilio for 5 nights in August 2007 during our honeymoon. I had found the hotel through Tripadvisor and having read all the good reviews I booked the hotel three months in advance ( the hotel was already full all summer when I tried to change our reservation in June ). We got one of the... more

We stayed for 8 nights here as part of our Honeymoon in Tuscany. We were in Tuscan Room number 16 which I would recommend as having the best view by far. The hotel room was really nice and clean, and the maid service was excellent. The hotel is less than a five minute walk from the fantastic little beach in... more

My husband and I stayed at the Ilio in July 2005 on our honeymoon. Since it was our honeymoon, it was really important that we find a comfortable, romantic hotel. Two years have passed, but we felt compelled to finally review the hotel. We had an absolutely wonderful stay. We stayed in the only room that directly overlooks the sea.... more
