Perched on a scenic cliff overlooking the sea, Villa dei Mulini was Napoleon Bonaparte’s official residence during his exile on Elba. This elegant yet modest villa, nestled between two ancient windmills, reflects both the emperor’s refined taste and strategic vision. Inside, you’ll find period furnishings, Napoleon’s personal library, and breathtaking views of the gardens. Visiting schedules may vary; depending on the day, we might instead explore Villa San Martino, his lavish summer retreat set in a tranquil valley. Unlike the simplicity of Villa dei Mulini, this residence is a masterpiece of neoclassical architecture, boasting majestic halls, intricate frescoes, and the iconic Egyptian Room. Surrounded by nature, it embodies Napoleon’s longing for both solitude and grandeur.

Immerse yourself in this coastal gem where history and modern vibrancy blend seamlessly. Wander through quaint alleys adorned with historic architecture, explore bustling waterfronts filled with artisan shops and delightful eateries, and savor culinary treasures amid breathtaking views. As part of our visit, we’ll also explore a unique shop offering a wide variety of minerals, gems, and jewelry, along with an extensive selection of books and magazines on geology and mineralogy.
