Napoleon Bonaparte's summer residence on the Island of Elba
Villa di San Martino, located just outside Portoferraio, was Napoleon Bonaparte's summer residence during his exile on the Island of Elba. Surrounded by rare natural beauty, the villa is a perfect blend of history and landscape. Today, it is a museum that allows visitors to explore Napoleon's private life and his connection to the island.
The villa preserves some original Napoleonic elements, including furniture and decorations that reflect the emperor's refined taste. An integral part of the visit is the Demidoff Gallery, an extension added later by Prince Anatoly Demidoff, which houses a collection of artworks and memorabilia related to Napoleon.
