Last week we took two days to visit the Tuscan island of Isola D'Elba. No, I didn't know that Tuscany had an island either. Literally being on the island felt just like being on the mainland with the exception of the gorgeous views. (Same roads, same modern conveniences as in Tuscany.) We stayed at a great place called Hotel Dino, we lucked out as most hotels are closing for the off season. A very easy excursion as the ferry ride only took about 30 minutes to get to the island.
