History and

Beauty

The name of the hotel BAIA IMPERIALE is inspired by the glorious past of the Roman Empire, which exploited Elba’s granite quarries as material for the construction of monumental works that are still known today.

The Island of Elba is indeed famous for its atmosphere, beauty, waters, beaches and food in the first place, but not least for its mineral wealth, which over the centuries has also made it a living from mining and quarrying for metallurgical supplies. In addition to supplying metals and iron in large quantities, it was also a flourishing basin for the extraction of granite. With the arrival of the Romans, the granite quarries assumed central importance for the construction of great architectural works.

Famous Roman constructions with granite from Elba include the 7 columns of the Pantheon, and other monumental columns modelled on Elba have been found in excavations at the Colosseum, the Quirinal and the Palatine.
At the reception of our hotel, guests can admire an Etruscan sarcophagus, as well as other pieces of columns scattered throughout the property.
One of the most famous artefacts on the island is undoubtedly the 'Granite Ship', so called by the inhabitants of the island. It is located about 700 metres above the beach at Cavoli, in the Cave di Granito path, marked by signs along the route that starts directly from the hotel.
A step back in time that is well worth taking to breathe in the history and tradition of the island.
