The best thing about the hotel is its location..right on top of A wonderful beach and with a magnificent garden with seaview to relax. The bad part is breakfast. Get there fast or have very little to eat..the staff do not refill breakfast items at all and are just busy clearing tables and getting coffee. There are no breakfast tabs... More

Hotel Barsalini represents excellent value for money: it has charm, pleasant staff, excellent food, lovely facilities and is surprisingly affordable for such an idyllic location - on the edge of a small beach, at the foot of a lush, forested mountain. The scenery is beautiful: crystalline water, dramatic rock formations and countless remote coves and inlets to be explored by... More

It is a beautiful place to visit where you can find a real spirit of Italy. I have two years old daughter and the Barsallini hotel could offer her plenty attractions. You can find there a park with a playground and small zoo with animals such as parrots, rabbits, ducks and fish. Apart from that, there is a lovely sandy... More

The hotel is made by many buildings close to eachothers, on the side of a hill facing the sea. Common spaces between the buildings include pool, garden, relax area, lounge area. In every small corner all is perfect: clean, fresh, with a lot of plants and flowers. We chose a "Il cigno" room, with balcony facing the sea. The room... More

To be honest I’d never heard of Elba before I started searching on the internet for somewhere to go and just laze about on a beach for a few days after a stay in Rome but now I’ve been I’ll be recommending the island to everyone I know. That goes for Hotel Barsalini as well. As I say we just... More

I wanted to recommend this hotel, I really did! But the owner of this hotel actually *yelled* at me in both Italian and broken English b/c I had forgotten my luggage there ("abandoned it" as she said) and she threatened to leave it at some police station on this Island for me to 'go pick up' while I was standing,...

Spent a long weekend here in mid-June. Excellant swimming/snorkeling weather. The hotel was friendly and charming--tiled floors, flowers everywhere. They put out a lovely antipasti spread with drinks on the terrace before dinner. Good local food in modest proportions. The beach just steps away was typically Italian with lounge chairs and umbrellas lined up for rent, and walks to rocky... More

The ambience in the general areas of the hotel was terrific ~ Daniel in the bar was excellent, a real treasure. The food in restaurant was (only just) OK. The rooms were a real disappointment, 70's furnishings, faded and mis matched, also garish dark green paint on walls ~ dreadful lights on wall over bed ~ like something out of... More
