      Villa San Martino, located near Portoferraio on the Island of Elba, is famous for being the summer residence of Napoleon Bonaparte during his exile in 1814-1815. The villa, surrounded by an enchanting garden, offers a fascinating glimpse into the private life of the emperor, with frescoed rooms and period furnishings. Today, Villa San Martino is a museum that preserves Napoleonic relics and tells the story of Napoleon's stay on Elba.

        I would not recommend following this trail. The climb to Tambone from the Passo dell'Obelisco is historically off limits even for the strongest bikers, the Sira (from Procchio
        to the GTE) has deteriorated a lot and requires super technical ability. The descent from Monte Fonza however contains in itself the reasons why many bikers come to Elba. Traveling in the mountains with the sea below. A beautiful vertigo.
