Hotel and Residence Crystal
The Hotel Residence Crystal is situated just outside the Medician walls of the old town of Portoferraio, just a stone’s throw from the port, the town centre and the wonderful beach of Le Ghiaie. It is open all year round.

Le Ghiaie Beach
This picturesque beach with its characteristic white pebbles is right opposite the hotel, just across the other side of the public gardens. There are sunloungers and beach umbrellas for hire from mid-June through to mid-September for Residence guests (free of charge for Hotel guests).

Hotel Facilities
The hotel foyer, furnished in the ‘Old Marine’ style, provides an informal, welcoming atmosphere, as do the reading lounge, bar, TV room, billiard room and breakfast room. The buffet breakfast offers the guest a selection of hot drinks, juices, fresh fruit, cereals, cheeses and hams, cakes and Elban specialities. The hotel restaurant is right on the beach, 25m from the water’s edge, in a quiet, pedestrianised area, just a few metres walk through the public gardens that surround it. Private parking near the hotel (50 metres) (E.10,00 per day/car).
