Structure description

The Hotel is in the charming bay of Spartaia, a small cove with fine sand on the north coast, set between Procchio lido and the island called Paolina; it is little more than 250 meters long, and slopes gently down to crystal clear waters and is edged by cliffs of flat rocks, it is ideal for anyone who loves a secluded place to sunbathe. The hotel faces directly onto the beach and also has large areas of greenery, divided into different zones: shady areas with pine trees or lawns where you can peacefully sunbathe only a few steps away from the sea. On the beach the guests have use of a sun umbrella and two sun loungers for every room, there are also beach cabins, shower, a small store room (to keep rubber canoes, airbeds, windsurfs) and a Bar/Restaurant/Pizzeria with a terrace facing the sea. You can also rent buoys to anchor private boats. The hotel has a central building and two annexes with small apartments for 3 or 4 people, particularly suitable for families. In the central building you will find the reception, the restaurant, the bar and some of the rooms. The two annexes with suites for families are: the "Paolina" which is situated right in front of the beach, it offers two types of accommodation, on the ground floor suites with entrance/lounge and two divan beds, double room with a window to the rear and bathroom and on the upper floors suites with small bedroom with twin beds and rear view window, bathroom and double room with sea view; the other annexe, the "Walewska", is next to the tennis courts and has small three-bedded apartments, they too are divided into two rooms with one bathroom. The hotel has a seawater swimming pool, flanked by a gazebo where, in the evening, at least twice a week, discrete entertainment is organised, two tennis courts (on payment), table tennis and a good bowling green in the pine tree grove. Those interested in sport can follow swimming and tennis courses, bikes are available to be used free by the guests and, on the beach, you can rent pedal boats, motor boats and canoes. The northern coast offers many striking bays and the sea floor is extraordinary, for scuba diving and snorkelling lovers this area is among the most interesting on the island. There is a scuba diving centre in nearby Procchio (1Km) and special arrangements with the Acquabona Golf Club about 20 Km away. The small town of Procchio, in recent years has become a very pretty centre offering not only a fairly good number of restaurants, pizzerias, ice cream parlours, wine bars and shops, but also a pleasant walk to the sea where you will find a new park full of plants with an area for various open air shows, evening entertainment for children and food and wine events. Talking about food and wine, the Hotel Desirée boasts excellent cuisine, with an ample variety of choice of typical Tuscan and Elban specialities and international cuisine, all accompanied by good wine. Buffet style breakfast and lunch, while dinner is table service. In the high season open-air bar-b-cues of meat and fish are organised: thus the hotel park and the Spartaia gulf become a background for a charming evening which finishes with live music and dancing. Our younger guests are entertained from 3 years old upwards by the staff of the Mini-Club and they can use a play area in the pine grove; it is also possible to ask for a baby sitting service.
