The Hotel Montemerlo is a small, family-run, eco-friendly (with awards to prove it) hotel, a five-minute walk from the famous Fetovaia Beach in Elba Island. There are 35 simple rooms spread out over four buildings as well as a casual restaurant and a beautiful garden with a variety of exotic plants. It's not on the beach, but there is a swimming pool and a whirlpool hot tub (for a fee!) on-site.
