Sant'Andrea is one of the most charming resorts in the area of Marciana. You reach it by going along a country road with villas and gardens on either side. There is a small stretch of sandy beach and some lovely granite rocks which mean that either families with young children or people who prefer rather more isolated corners can be easily satisfied here.
The breathtaking natural beauty of the area and the crystal clear blue of the sea around the bay of Sant'Andrea, mean that this part of the island is one of the pearls of the NATIONAL PARK OF THE TUSCAN ARCIPELAGO.
If you prefer to leave your car parked safely in our private car park, during the summer months there is a local bus service which connects the nearby villages with the main town of Marciana. From Marciana itself, there are many little footpaths which take you to some of the most fascinating places; one of these is Monte Capanne, the highest mountain on Elba at 1019 metres above sea level, but there is also a cable car service which takes you right up to the top; there is also the Oratorio di San Cerbone and the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Monte where you can visit one of the many Napoleonic sites on the island.
The services offered directly in Sant'Andrea village are: bars, restaurants, a few shops where you can buy food and anything you may need for a holiday by the sea, a newsagent, a diving center and you can also rent rubber dinghies, pedal boats, canoes; there is also a windsurf school and, for emergencies, a first aid point.
