4-star Hotel with restaurant on Elba Island
Lovers of fine food know well that some of the best food and wine in Italy, like
everywhere else, is often found in the most famous hotels. And on Elba Island, to be precise, in the charming, quaint Spartaia Bay, a hotel has been operating for more than half a century whose quality and quantity of
services meets all its guests’ desires, accompanied by food and wine of the highest
quality. This is Hotel Désirée, established as a “good retreat” by the great opera singer Tancredi Pasero,
whose art is referenced in various buildings in the hotel.
For example, the “Don Carlos” restaurant, which gets its name from the famous
opera by Giuseppe Verdi, the kingdom of one of the most renowned chefs on Elba Island, Giuseppe Brescia, assisted by his cooking staff lovingly trained and managed
by him. The restaurant offers a wide range of typical Italian and Tuscan dishes,
with special menus with low calorie content or menus for vegetarians or people
with gluten allergies.
A lunch or dinner in the hotel restaurant or even on the splendid “Boheme” terrace with an unparalleled view over Spartaia
Bay right up to the Enfola headland alone is worth a visit to the island. A real celebration of colours and flavours that honour the beauty of this place,
leaving guests enchanted from appetising starters to the tasty selection of desserts,
prepared with great creativity by the hotel pastry chef.
