Spend the morning anchored
outside the fortified harbour of
Elba’s Portoferraio – it’s the perfect
place to make the most of The
Wellesley’s extensive toy box. In the
afternoon tender in to the curved
port and explore the twisting streets,
which are packed with fishermen
selling sardines. Take a tour of the
Palazzina dei Mulini, the yellow
house where Napoléon lived when
he was exiled to the island in 1814.
