The village is pleasant, sports some nice boutiques, bars and restaurants (including a veggie one to my intense delight) and brimming with events in the summer evenings, although not all of them were to my liking. The sea promenade is very nice, the village center is nice but can be crowded at least in August. The surroundings offer not just some beautiful beaches that can be easily reached by car or, if you like a short hike, on foot, but also a lot of opportunities for hiking in the nature. In the harbour you can rent a boat or find day trips to Pianosa or to other locations around the island. If you're into nature, in the village you can find a whale watching association offering day trips for dolphin spotting, and another offering diving/snorkeling trips and kids laboratories on marine biology. The main cons of the location is that the main access road to the village is pretty busy at certain times (in particular around dinner time), at least in high season, this can be sometimes a real nuisance and in any case you want to take it into account if you have made plans for the evening.

Great Italian town with lots of restaurants and cute shops. At night the city comes (even more) to life and the city center is filled with people. The little harbor is fun to walk through and if you walk a little further you can hike along the walls of a fortress (now a prison) and end up at a very nice pebble beach.

Must go to a bar named “El curandero” in Porto Azzurro. The food is much better at the Hotel Plaza restaurant, worth every penny. Thank you guys, you are wonderful people, the best service I’ve ever had.
