“LE ANTICHE SALINE” RESTAURANT

At the Le Antiche Saline restaurant we offer an informal but carefully planned menu for lunch with express starters, grilled fish of the day, pizza with long leavening dough cooked in our wood-burning oven (mid June – mid September) and a delicious buffet of salads and vegetables. Dinner for half-board guests is a culinary delight, with a choice of four menus, and is served at the table with the further, tasty “back-up” of an excellent buffet of vegetables, salads, cheeses and pastries. Guests are also tantalized by our chefs’ imaginative Theme Evenings with tasting menus, serving Mediterranean-style dishes, mouth-watering recipes following the Tuscan and Elban tradition and original vegetarian dishes, paying particular attention to the requirements of individual guests. Our hotel meals are made with excellent quality raw materials and local products, carefully selected every day.  It’s difficult to find the words to present the grand buffet on Fridays (July and August) on the lawn by the pool with typical Tuscan cuisine and international dishes, live cooking, land and sea grill.

“IL GIARDINO DELLE ROSE” RESTAURANT

We are very proud of our little gem, the Giardino delle Rose: it is surrounded by greenery, by the pool, and is accessible to guests who have chosen the bed and breakfast option, and to other visitors who want to enjoy the magic of the Hotel Airone. Dine by candlelight under a beautiful portico on the lawn, with an exclusive view of illuminated Portoferraio in an atmosphere that it is an understatement to describe as enchanted. The sophisticated à la carte menu offers suggestions worthy of such an intimate and exclusive environment: catch of the day and seasonal fruit and vegetables are the zero-km ingredients that our chef Leonardo Pistolesi uses in his traditional recipes from Elba which he always reinterprets with an imaginative touch. The menu varies according to what the catch of the day offers to guarantee freshness and that essential hint of mystery every evening. Oysters, lobsters, prawns and all the other seafood delicacies caught on our coasts are available to order. And, of course, our maître is always ready to make suggestions about the most suitable wine for the dish on the table, selecting from those in our cellar which has hundreds of Italian and foreign labels.

CHILDREN’S MENU

Our chef Gianluca Lenardon has created the Carta Peter Pan for the hotel’s young guests. , This simple and healthy menu will not only meet with their approval, but also that of the most demanding mums and dads. Then, in the summer months you can’t miss out on the “Pizza Evening”, where children can eat in the company of our activity leaders and have fun with music and games. For the tiniest guests, fresh vegetable soups, top class meat broths, minced meat, high quality baby food, mini pasta and porridge are available.

Our guests are able to take advantage of our private beach (sandy), equipped with sunbeds and parasols, the Olympic-sized salt water swimming pool and the special open-air hot tub.

The practice of yoga encourages the stretching of the muscles and the oxygenation of the body by employing special breathing techniques. It is an excellent exercise for releasing tension: yoga, in fact, increases concentration and self-awareness, a very important factor in breaking the vicious circle of stress, recharging with new energy and feeling free and in perfect harmony between body and soul. At the Hotel Airone we offer opportunities to practise this activity because we like to think that our hotel is also a place to get together, relax and dedicate yourself to holistic disciplines. We have been collaborating for years with yoga teachers and schools which have chosen our facility as a base for their retreats on Elba. In the quiet and relaxed space of our park, it is possible to experience moments of pure relaxation between sea and nature, suitable for everyone: from those who practise regularly, to the curious who want to try this discipline and enjoy its benefits.

The instructors, all certified with many years of experience, offer a wide range of courses, from introductory diving to professional courses, in a young and cheerful environment but always attentive to the needs of the students and their safety.
