Napoleon Bonaparte's historic residence on the Island of Elba
Villa dei Mulini, located in the heart of Portoferraio, was the official residence of Napoleon Bonaparte during his exile on the Island of Elba. Built strategically between Forte Stella and Forte Falcone, the villa offers breathtaking views of the sea, perfect for monitoring the coast and maintaining contact with the outside world. Today, the villa is a museum that allows visitors to explore Napoleon's private and political life.
The villa still retains some of its original furniture and a collection of Napoleon's personal items. Among the most fascinating rooms are the library, which houses a rich collection of books, and the emperor's private apartments. The exhibitions also include documents, maps, and memorabilia that tell the story of Napoleon's time on the island.
