During the Middle Ages, the island first belonged to the Maritime Republic of Pisa and later to the Medici family (1548). Cosimo I de\u2019 Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, founded Cosmopoli, currently known as Portoferraio.<\/p>\n<p>Then, the island came into the direct power of Spain for about one and a half century. In the eighteenth century, several European powers, such as Austrians, Germans, British and French, competed with each other to gain control of the island.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, the French prevailed and their victory eventually led to the event that thrusted the island into the global limelight: in 1814, Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled to Elba, where he lived for 10 months.<\/p>\n<p>Elba and Napoleon are inextricably intertwined. The French Emperor quickly made the island well-known worldwide. After a dreadful Russian campaign and a fatal defeat in Leipzig, Napoleon was exiled to the island, where he stayed for about 10 months. As the ruler of the short-lived Principality of Elba, he started to create a small navy and army, laying the foundations for his return to the French mainland. He escaped from the island in February 1815 and, for the following \u201cHundred Days\u201d, he tried to move heaven and earth one more time, in a final, all-out effort to resurrect his dying empire. However, he was eventually defeated at Waterloo and exiled again to St. Helena, where he died on May 5, 1821.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<h2 class=\"vc_custom_heading\">Villa dei Mulini<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element wpb_animate_when_almost_visible wpb_bottom-to-top bottom-to-top vc_custom_1628925506067 wpb_start_animation animated\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>On Elba, you can visit the Napoleonic Villas: Villa dei Mulini, located in Portoferraio\u2019s historic center, and Villa San Martino, about 5 kilometers from the town.<\/p>\n<p>Villa dei Mulini was Napoleon\u2019s main residence on the island and the architect Paolo Bargigli renovated it in order to meet the needs of the French emperor.<br \/>\nHe built the party hall, the stables and the garden (where you can admire the statue of Minerva and Galatea). The main rooms are on the ground floor: the hall, the library, the bedroom, the study and the valets\u2019 room. Unfortunately, the original furniture is no longer here; the library, however, features several authentic books that once belonged to Bonaparte.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"vc_custom_heading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12582 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hotelairone.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Ville-Napoleoniche-Valla-del-Mulini.jpg\" alt=\"Ville Napoleoniche Elba\" width=\"950\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hotelairone.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Ville-Napoleoniche-Valla-del-Mulini.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.hotelairone.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Ville-Napoleoniche-Valla-del-Mulini-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hotelairone.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Ville-Napoleoniche-Valla-del-Mulini-768x508.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h2 class=\"vc_custom_heading\">Villa San Martino<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element wpb_animate_when_almost_visible wpb_bottom-to-top bottom-to-top vc_custom_1628925466434 wpb_start_animation\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>Villa San Martino was Napoleon\u2019s \u201csummer\u201d residence or, rather, his secondary residence.
