Overview

Once upon a time. . . there was an enchanted place of a timeless world, a magical land called Tuscany.

Here the waves of the rolling hills, privileged custodians of mysteries of ancient peoples still present in daily gestures of its inhabitants, crashing gently into the sea of those Thirrenii where lustful Venus lost seven gems of her divine tiara...

As scenery hatched by superior minds, blue sea and beautiful islands.

Undisputed queen Fabricia, Elbe Island today, the one chosen by Jason and the Argonauts searching the Golden Fleece, for stop and resting. Porto Argo, Cosmopoli, Portoferraio: from a fisherman village to the capital of the Napoleon's ephemeral empire

mooie oude stad, met leuke shops en winkeltjes rond de haven; op de heuvel zijn er twee forten te bezoeken waaronder Forte Falcone zeker de moeite van het klimmen is; ook de verblijfplaats van Napoleon kan je bezoeken mits betaling (25+ is 6 euro; 18-25 is 3 euro); zeker de moeite waard voor wie ...

Vale la pena trascorrere almeno una giornata nella cittadina piΓΉ importante dell'isola, scoprendone l'ereditΓ  medicea e quella napoleonica. Salendo le scalinate del nucleo piΓΉ antico , si godono scorci panoramici suggestivi.
