Residence Lido Azzurro

Residence Lido Azzurro is a three-star residence in Capoliveri, built around the useful things rather than a long list of frills: a choice of apartments, cottages and bungalows, air conditioning, a garden, a terrace and direct access to the beach. It suits you if you prefer accommodation with room to settle into your own rhythm, whether that means a simple double room or a more spacious self-contained option for a family or a small group.

The feel is practical and outdoorsy. You can swim, take a windsurfing session, cycle, or simply sit under a parasol with the sea close by. A barbecue area gives the evening a little more purpose than staring at the minibar.

You are in Capoliveri, on Elba, at Loc. Lido di Capoliveri. The residence is by the sea, with direct access to a golden-sand beach equipped with sun loungers and parasols. That makes the shoreline part of the daily routine rather than a separate excursion.

Capoliveri town centre is 3 km away. The setting therefore gives you beach access without putting you in the middle of the town itself. The address works particularly well if your priority is coastal time, with cycling and windsurfing also available for days when you want to do something other than sit on the sand.

The accommodation covers several formats, from a standard double room to apartments, cottages and bungalows. Every listed unit has a private bathroom. The choice is less about collecting room names and more about deciding how much domestic space you want around you: a double room keeps things simple for a couple, while an apartment, cottage or bungalow makes more sense if you want separate living arrangements or are travelling as a family.

Some categories are specifically labelled as family, superior or deluxe, and one apartment category comes with a sea view. There are also one-bedroom and two-bedroom bungalows. Those labels do the useful work here: you can choose between compact accommodation, more generous layouts and a view-led option without treating the residence like a conventional hotel room block.

Air conditioning and heating are available, which matters when you return tired, salty and ready to cool down or warm up properly. The garden and terrace add outdoor space, while the private bathroom keeps the post-swim routine straightforward. Family rooms are available, and the residence is set up for families as well as couples.

This property is not centred on a restaurant or bar. Instead, it takes a more self-sufficient approach: a barbecue area lets you prepare meals on site, so you can eat when it suits you rather than waiting for a set time after a day at sea.

For stays in an apartment, cottage or bungalow, that option is particularly practical. You can come back, settle on the terrace or in the garden, and sort out a simple dinner without heading out again straight away. After a day of diving, this small detail can save you a lengthy debate about which restaurant to choose — and everyone has their own idea of what counts as an urgent decision.

The outdoor pool gives you another place to cool off when the sea is not calling. The beach has sun loungers and parasols, so doing nothing can be arranged with a little more comfort than a towel dropped on the sand. There is also a garden and terrace for sitting outside without committing to a full expedition.

Windsurfing is available, with equipment rental on site. Cycling is another practical option for seeing more of Elba under your own power. If the evening calls for food and conversation rather than another activity, the barbecue area gives you a place to cook and linger outdoors.

For families, the residence has family accommodation and a family-friendly setup. That keeps the non-diving part of the day flexible: pool, beach, cycling, windsurfing or simply a chair in the garden, with no organised entertainment schedule needed.

Check-in starts at 14:00 and check-out is by 12:00. Wi-Fi is available throughout the residence at no extra charge. Parking is available for an additional charge, so it is worth allowing for that when planning a self-drive stay.

A separate cleaning charge is payable at the residence. Italian hotels may also apply a mandatory gala-dinner charge; contact the residence directly for the details before travelling. Electrical supply is 230 V, with Type C, F and L sockets.

The residence has air conditioning and heating, plus a garden and terrace.
