Workation in Portoferraio: the essentials

Ferries from Piombino land at Portoferraio, the main town of Elba, largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago. Cosimo I de' Medici fortified the harbour from 1548, and Forte Stella still looks down on the old town. Napoleon spent his exile here in 1814, and his two residences, Villa dei Mulini and Villa San Martino, are open as museums. The crossing takes about an hour and runs all year, while Pisa airport is about 97 km off in a straight line, with a transfer to Piombino and the boat still to come. Coves, hiking routes and mountain-bike trails are a short drive away, and June to early September is very busy.
