Viste Beach

Portoferraio

Breathtaking sunsets in the shadow of Villa dei Mulini and Forte Falcone.

It is located in the historic center of Portoferraio, near the Napoleonic Villa dei Mulini, under the fortress of Forte Falcone. The spectacle of the Views begins from the top of the fortress overlooking the town and the old village: the beach is just down there and can only be reached on foot. This is precisely why it is uncrowded and quiet. The rock ridge provides shade in the afternoon, and in the evening you can watch the sunset over a beautiful panorama. Opposite, a few hundred meters away, is the Scoglietto, a small island bordering the protected marine reserve, frequented by snorkeling and diving enthusiasts.
