Portoferraio: modern seafront apartment

This elegant apartment, set in a modern building overlooking the harbor of Portoferraio, enjoys a prime location just steps from all the main services the island’s capital offers; the evocative white beaches of Le Ghiaie and Capo Bianco, the Medici Dockyard, and the main square are all reachable within a few minutes’ walk. Its position directly on the harbor, together with the splendid view of the Medici walls of Portoferraio, makes it a special place to simply enjoy long, sunny summer days and the peace of the milder winter days. A careful and meticulous renovation has transformed the spaces into relaxing, comfortable rooms, where the upgrade—guided by the choice of modern materials and a minimalist taste—has created a restrained, elegant setting. Enhanced by a wonderful seafront terrace, the apartment is laid out on a single level and comprises an entrance living area with open-plan kitchen, dining area and lounge in one space, where the sea view is the undisputed star. The sleeping area includes one double bedroom, also facing the sea in front, and a large bathroom complete with a laundry area. In its essential style, this apartment—made very bright and well ventilated by large windows facing the sea—is perfect both as a holiday home and as a permanent residence. Its location just steps from the harbor and services also makes it an excellent investment opportunity for short-term rentals. The 180-degree panoramic view, the quality of the renovation, and the air-conditioning system are just some of the elements that make this property unique.
