Tuscany Umbria Vacation

The Tuscan Archipelago is made up of seven large islands, three small islands, reefs and sand-banks between Corsica and Tuscany.

The largest island is Elba, which has a long history having been inhabited by the Ilvati, the Estruscans and the Romans. Two villas (Villa dei Mulini and Villa San Martino) bear witness to Napoleon Bonaparte’s exile on the island.

With the island of Elba, the other large islands, Gorgona, Capraia, Pianosa, Montecristo, Giglio, Giannutri, and the small islands, Palmaiola, Cerboli and Le Formiche di Grosseto, make up the Tuscan Archipelago National Park.

The archiplelago is part of the Livorno province and comprises the following municipalities: Campo nell'Elba, Capoliveri, Capraia Isola, Marciana, Marciana Marina, Portoazzurro, Portoferraio, Rio Marina e Rio nell'Elba.
