Elba Island

Italian holiday flair and a world culture festival? Whoever visits the Elba island at the beginning of August, can experience both!

On 8th and 9th August the world’s biggest musical names, like Gabriella Cilmi, cast a spell over islanders and holiday makers alike at the Festival Musica del Mondo.

Italy remains the 2009 most loved foreign holiday destination amongst Germans holiday-home renters.Particularly popular is Tuscany, and not only holiday-makers enjoy coming here: celebrities such as Madonna and Sting also relax in their own properties in Tuscany.

In the middle of the high-season on 8th and 9th August 2009, after last year’s great success, a musical sensation in a class of its own awaits Italian-lovers: the free Musica Del Mondo, Elba’s festival of world culture.

On the third biggest Italian island, Elba, artists from the international and Italian music scenes, such as Gabriella Cilmi and Roy Paci & gli Aretuska enchant audiences under the meditaranean skies of the picturesque harbour, Marciana Marina. The performance on a floating stage will be projected onto sail-shaped screens.

The popular Mediterranean island Elba lies 12 miles from the coast of Tuscany and is the ideal holiday spot for nature-lovers, walkers and divers. Extensive forests with wine-growing areas and the maquis, a typical cultivated landscape for Southern Europe, give the island a radiant, evergreen cover.

During their stays holiday home guests can live stlylishly, with a magnificant view over the turquoise blue sea or the natural coast.
