This is the kind of hotel and food experience Anthony Bourdain would have included in an episode of No Reservations. From the stunning grounds and beautifully rustic accommodations, to the mind-blowing food, to the friendly, attentive service, this was likely the most unique and memorable hotel experience I've ever had. If you want to wake up to a breakfast buffet curated to your tastes each morning, or a private five-course tasting menu under the stars each night, then this is the place for you. We loved Elba island, but having Il Termine as a home base really made our trip extra special. And it's an absolute steal for the price. Il Termine is unexpected and delightful in every way. My friends and I have already recommended this place to our travel-savvy friends, and we plan to come back the next time we are in Italy. We only stayed three nights and didn't even scratch the surface of what experiences were offered -- we certainly want to come back for a boating and fishing excursion! Silvia, Maya, and the rest of the staff felt like family by the end of our stay, and we can't wait to see them again.
