Vacation Apartment "Casa Vacanze Iosè" with Sea View

Rio Marina

"Pros: Das Appartment ist super ausgestattet. Es fehlt an nichts. Überall gibt es Haken umd Regale um Dinge aufzuhängen oder abzulegen, wir waren als Familie zu viert dort und konnten uns so gut organisieren, da das Appartment klein und schnuckelig ist. Das Appartment ist in einer super ruhigen Lage, aber trotzdem nur wenige Gehminuten vom Zentrum von Rio Marina. Der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich, gab uns hilfreiche Tipps erkundigte sich, ob alles zu unserer Zufriedenheit war und war per WhatsApp...

Top Rio Marina Hotel Reviews

Viticcio

10/10 Excellent

"Small cozy property, beautiful landscaping spectacular location great service"

Residenza Sant'Anna del Volterraio

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at this hotel was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm and welcoming. The setting is peaceful and picturesque, the hotel itself is spotless and beautifully maintained, and the staff are simply lovely. The reception team greeted us with genuine warmth and helpfulness, and the breakfast staff were a joy — always smiling, accommodating, and full of positive energy. The location is serene, with stunning tennis courts and what might be the most incredible pool we’ve ever swum in — large, crystal clear, and perfectly warm. Everything we needed was right on hand: a great bar, a delicious restaurant, and plenty of space to relax. Highlights included the freshly made pasta, pizza, salads, and desserts — all absolutely delicious. And the breakfast was outstanding, especially the homemade banana bread! If we could offer one small piece of advice, it would be to share more photographs on social media to showcase just how special this place is — the marvellous staff, the food, the facilities, and the tranquil setting. That said, part of us wants to keep this gem a secret! Highly recommended — we can’t wait to return."

Frequently asked questions

How much does a beach hotel in Rio Marina cost?

Prices for beach hotels in Rio Marina vary, but you can find a great deal from £54 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.

Which area of Rio Marina is best to stay in for beaches?

The best area to stay in Rio Marina for beaches is directly within the town centre and along its immediate coastline.

Rio Marina itself is a compact and convenient town, located along the eastern coast of Elba, and its main beach, Spiaggia di Rio Marina, is right next to the harbour. You'll find a pedestrian promenade running along the seafront, dotted with shops, cafes, and restaurants. The town's iconic red mining heritage is visible in the sand, giving it a unique character.

Families will particularly appreciate staying in the town centre. The main beach is easily accessible, often with shallow waters suitable for younger children, and you're always a short walk from amenities like gelaterias and grocery shops. The convenience of having everything on your doorstep means less hassle when planning beach days with little ones.

For those seeking a slightly more secluded beach experience while remaining close to town, the area just south of Rio Marina, towards Spiaggia del Porticciolo, is a good option. This beach is a short drive or a pleasant walk from the town centre and offers a more tranquil setting with clear waters, ideal for a relaxing day by the sea.

What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Rio Marina?

The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Rio Marina is during July and August, when the weather is ideal for enjoying the stunning Tuscan coastline. Temperatures typically range from 25°C to 30°C, providing superb conditions for swimming, sunbathing, and exploring the charming seaside village.

During these peak months, the beaches are bustling with activity, and all the local amenities, from beach clubs to water sports rentals, are in full swing. Families, in particular, will find this a fantastic time to visit, as the warm sea and vibrant setting offer endless entertainment for all ages. It's also a time when many local festivals and outdoor concerts take place, adding to the lively holiday feel.

As another option, June presents a wonderful alternative. The weather remains beautifully sunny and warm, with temperatures generally in the low to mid-20s, making it excellent for relaxing on the beach or enjoying boat trips around the island.

How can I save on a beach hotel in Rio Marina with Expedia?

One Key™ —Expedia's free travel rewards programme—gives you instant access to perks and Member Prices on Rio Marina beach hotels. Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals.

*Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.

What beach activities should we do in Rio Marina?

The best beach activities in Rio Marina centre around swimming, sunbathing, and exploring the unique coastline.

For those looking to relax and enjoy the Tuscan sun, the main beach in Rio Marina, Spiaggia di Vigneria, is easily accessible directly from the town. It's a dark, pebbly beach, famous for its iron-rich sand which shimmers with metallic flecks. The waters here are generally calm and clear, making it pleasant for a swim. Families often appreciate this beach for its convenience and the interesting geological features that children might enjoy discovering.

If you're an active couple, consider hiring a kayak or paddleboard to explore the nearby coves and smaller beaches that are less accessible by foot. Head south along the coast from Rio Marina, and you'll find secluded spots like Spiaggia di Topinetti, known for its striking red sand cliffs and crystal-clear water, superb for snorkelling. The coastline offers some lovely views, and you might even spot some local marine life.

For a more organised experience, look for boat excursions that depart from Rio Marina's harbour. These trips often visit multiple hidden beaches and offer opportunities for swimming in deeper waters or even trying a bit of fishing.

Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Rio Marina as a package?

Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.

Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Rio Marina for you.
