On our beautiful island, it is possible to combine the beauty of the sea and the Mediterranean environment with the exercise of some sporting activities, always with respect for the environment and nature.

There are:

MTB

There are excellent routes for beginners as well as for professionals, who can do a perfect workout in our ups and downs.

Windsurfing

Chiessi is the home of windsurfing on Elba Island, and home of many Italian sporting events, thanks to thermal winds that blow throughout most of the year, it is an ideal location of shallow freeride / small water wave and all practitioners, from beginner to racer or freestylers.
Recommended Boards: Freestyle, Slalom, Race (from 95 to 150)
Recommended sails: Freestyle, Freeride, Race (from 5 to 11)
PS: At reception, you can always ask Giorgio for information, who has been a practicing and avid windsurfer for over twenty years.

Diving and snorkeling

An ideal place for diving or snorkeling, thanks to the rocky soils, gorges and caves where they can easily meet groupers, moray eels and other species of underwater life. Elviscott is the wreck of the ship, which sank in 1972 and now it’s the home for many fish, about 1.5 km from the hotel.
The nearest dive center is 5 km away.

Trekking

Chiessi is an excellent starting point for all activities that can be practiced on the trails (on the Elban west coast); only 10 meters from the hotel begins the trail no. 3, perhaps the most famous and longest in this area, which connects Marciana with Chiessi and Pomonte. During a 4-hour hiking trip, the trail shows the most beautiful views of the whole island. From here, other routes lead you through the Mediterranean vegetation.

Freeclimbing

Just above Chiessi is one of the best freeclimbing areas of the island, the cliffs of Monte San Bartolomeo.
In about 45 minutes from the hotel, from the CAI hiking trail no. 3, you reach these rocks. The San Bartolomeo is divided into two floors, which are not very visible from below.
The first floor, which is reached by a detour, is signposted and has several routes, while the second floor offers a route.
There is also a short via ferrata that offers the opportunity to climb to the summit.
For this climbing garden it is necessary to have at least 12 karabiners, a 60 m long rope and the use of the helmet is recommended.

Here are the characteristics that distinguish it:
