Da Mario
About
Nestled on the picturesque coast of Barbarossa beach in Porto Azzurro, Da Mario offers a captivating blend of seaside camping, comfortable apartments, and a vibrant restaurant that welcomes guests year‑round. The camp features a fully renovated, sun‑shaded area with sandy shore, picnic terraces, and a dedicated gravel path leading straight to the sound‑proofed beach. New facilities include well‑equipped restrooms with hot and cold water showers, a disabled‑friendly bathroom, and coin‑operated washing machine, ensuring a hassle‑free stay for families, couples, and solo travelers alike. Throughout the island, the scenic waterfront promenade offers a ten‑minute walk to the local town centre, making Da Mario a convenient base for exploring Elba’s cultural sites and natural wonders. The onsite restaurant—known locally as Bar‑Ristorante‑Pizzeria Da Mario—serves an extensive menu that ranges from hearty breakfast options to fresh seafood, pizza, and late‑night snacks. With a panoramic terrace overlooking the sea, guests can enjoy a relaxed dining experience while listening to the waves and watching the sunset over the Tyrrhenian Sea. The venue caters to all ages, providing highchairs, a child‑friendly menu, and a full‑bar selection that caters to wine, beer, and soft drinks. Beyond food, the site promotes an all‑inclusive environment: Wi‑Fi is freely available across the campground, pet owners are welcome (with dogs on leash), and a beach net protects visitors from jellyfish. With friendly staff who speak Italian—and basic English—and a clear price calendar for camping and apartment stays, Da Mario delivers a memorable holiday getaway that balances adventure with comfort on one of Italy’s most celebrated island destinations.
