Our Hotel in Marina di Campo
The Hotel Barracuda is situated on the enchanting bay of Marina di Campo, on the southern part of Elba. The hotel, which has recently been renovated, started life in the 60s, instituted by Pietro Sala the professional sportsman and athletics trainer with Fausto Coppi's cycling team. It was the great champion cyclist Coppi himself who during a visit to the island fell in love with the gulf of Marina di Campo.
This enchanting location has always been highly valued by the island's vacationers, so much so that it has earned itself the title "The pearl of Elba".
It was Coppi who encouraged his friend Sala to invest in building a resort on the island.
The hotel started life on 18th September 1962, and was built in the typical style of the Elban buildings of the time. The initial building consisted of two floors and 15 rooms; love of and dedication to hospitality the winning cards that have always been a main feature of the Hotel Barracuda.
In 2003 the new owner completely renovated the hotel, enlarging the building with the addition of a third floor of spacious suites, a lobby, a games room, and a conference room.
The renovation work was entrusted to a local man, Fausto Auditore, who was asked to redesign and renew the hotel's image. Today the hotel can offer its guests many much valued services.
