Isola D'Elba

Esedra & Jules - La Dolca Vita
September 2007
Isola D'Elba is a natural archipelago island off the coast of Lazio and Toscana. A beloved oasis, which I discovered in August when I went on my "Italian Summer holiday"..
After Mum arrived in Italy to visit me, I decided to take her to Isola D'Elba to get her acclimatised to the Italian way of living.. and relaxing. ... La Dolca Vita... ahhh.. pure heaven.
Above, Breakfast - local style and below dinner with seasonal locals.
One Sunday morning, Mum and I were casually introduced to Rebecca & Ron by Chessi's local icon, long distance swimming champion and humanitarian Piere-Luigi. We had breakfast together in the nearby town and then went to Marciano Alta for dinner the next night.
They are a really interesting couple. Ron is a real character and after a few glasses of red wine had many stories to spin particularly from his adventures as a photographer for National Geographic. Rebecca is sweet, intelligent and down to earth and is a film producer based in London.
