How to reach the Hotel Aurora
Hotel Aurora is located in Chiessi, a small village in the municipality of Marciana on the west coast of Elba Island. Accessible from Portoferraio (ferry landing stage) in about 40 minutes by car, the shortest route that goes via Marina di Campo. You reach it by arriving at the westernmost tip of the island, which, referring to the round shape of the coast, is better known as the western ring.
Chiessi
Chiessi is a charming seaside village on the western coast of Elba, directly overlooking the sea. It offers sunsets of rare beauty, with Corsica, Pianosa, and Capraia visible on the horizon.
The small village, with its white houses, stands out between the green of the mountain and the intense blue of the sea. Its privileged location allows you to enjoy the sea both from the cliffs and from the small beach with smooth pebbles, entirely free and without beach establishments.
Chiessi is also an ideal starting point for exploring the numerous trails that lead to the top of the mountain, passing through gardens and vineyards. These beautiful panoramic paths are especially frequented in the off-season by hikers, cyclists, and enthusiasts of emerging sports such as Sky Trail and Nordic Walking.
For those who prefer to sunbathe on a sandy beach, in just five minutes, you can reach the beach of Fetovaia (5 km), and along the Western Ring, the beaches of Seccheto, Cavoli, and Marina di Campo, the latter a must-visit for those who love evening and nighttime life.
The nearest food market, along with tobacco and a bazaar, is about one kilometer away, in the nearby hamlet of Pomonte.
