Local Real Estate Market: Elba Island represents a niche and high-prestige real estate market, with valuations reflecting the exclusivity of the territory. In Porto Azzurro, the average requested price for residential properties is approximately € 3,327 per square meter. However, for small units located in the historic center and equipped with independence, valuations can easily exceed € 3,800/sqm. Compared to other parts of the island, Porto Azzurro maintains more stable values thanks to its year-round attractiveness. Comparing prices with the Tuscan mainland coastline, such as Cecina (€ 2,741/sqm) or Piombino (€ 1,542/sqm), buying on Elba ensures much higher capital protection against market fluctuations. Tourist and Historical Information: Porto Azzurro, formerly known as Porto Longone, is a timeless village that proudly preserves traces of the 17th-century Spanish rule. Dominated by the imposing San Giacomo Fortress, currently a prison but visible from the outside, the town overlooks a sheltered bay that hosts a modern marina. The heart of the village is the scenic Piazza Matteotti, considered Elba's "living room," surrounded by historic cafes and boutiques. Walking through the narrow "caruggi" of the center, one breathes an authentic Mediterranean atmosphere of sea scents and traditional cuisine. Among the natural gems reachable on foot are Pianotta beach, with its crystal-clear waters, and the coastal path leading to Barbarossa Beach. The area is also famous for the Sanctuary of Monserrato, nestled among the rugged Elban mountains, and for the rich enogastronomic tradition celebrating local wines and fresh fish.
