From the ferry to the hotel

Hotel Ape Elbana is at Salita Cosimo de' Medici 2, in the historic centre of Portoferraio, on Elba Island.

Blu Navy docks at the Alto Fondale quay. There you leave the ship and you are already on the seafront: the hotel is a few hundred metres away.

Blu Navy is also the company for our discounted ferry offer.

The hotel map: the dotted route follows the seafront to the hotel (blue dot). The Blu Navy arrival is at Alto Fondale, already on the seafront. Parking, in yellow, is in front of the building.

On foot

From the Blu Navy arrival at Alto Fondale the hotel is a few hundred metres away, along the seafront promenade.

  1. Leave the Blu Navy ship at the Alto Fondale quay: you are already on the seafront.
  2. Follow the promenade towards the historic centre, with the sea on your right, along Banchina Capitano Alfredo Foresi and then Via Vittorio Emanuele Secondo.
  3. At the Town Hall continue on Calata Giuseppe Mazzini, along the harbour (Darsena).
  4. You reach Piazza Cavour; a few steps further is Piazza della Repubblica. The hotel car park is in front of the building; the entrance is at Salita Cosimo de' Medici 2.

On foot, from any landing, always follow the seafront promenade.

By car

Hotel guests can always reach us by car, including through the ZTL (limited-traffic) zones, by letting reception know — even after driving through. The car park is in front of the entrance, on Piazza della Repubblica. Salita Cosimo de' Medici is a pedestrian stairway: leave the car in the hotel car park.

  1. From Alto Fondale, leave the ship and join the seafront directly, towards the historic centre.
  2. Hotel guests can always reach us by car, even through the ZTL zones, by letting reception know — even after driving through: continue to Piazza Cavour and Piazza della Repubblica.
  3. The hotel car park is in front of the entrance. Do not drive up Salita Cosimo de' Medici: it is pedestrian only.

By car, if you arrive at another landing (Calata Italia or the other piers), first go to Viale Elba and from there continue to the seafront.
