Hotel Villa Ottone: un luogo speciale, una storia unica…
In 1850, Lady Vittoria Altoviti Avila married Giuseppe Toscanelli, a nobleman from Pisa.
In 1857 their son Giovan Battista, known to the family as Bistino, was born. He fell ill with tuberculosis in his adolescence. The family followed the advice of the doctors of the time who ordered sea air, and chose a fine piece of land on the then wild, remote Island of Elba. They had a fine, large mansion built for Bistino to regain his strength by the sea.
This is how the story of Villa Ottone began... After the untimely death of their beloved son Bistino, the Altoviti Toscanelli family sold the property.
It was 1920 when the Villa Ottone was bought by two of the brothers Agostini, Basilio and Emilio.
Emilio was then forced to give half of the property to his more pragmatic brother Basilio who bought it to give it to his only daughter Emilia.
Emilietta and Giuseppe Di Mario married in 1940 ed ebbero tre figli, Mario, Roberto e Maria Adelaide. Nella stagione estiva Villa Ottone venne data in affitto ed iniziò così la sua storia di albergo.
It was the year 1964: the Di Mario brothers began very young to manage the Hotel making their profession. Since then, Villa Ottone has grown to become the current five-star Hotel. Even today our family works to preserve harmony of the place.
