For a memorable history lesson, check out the crumbling ruins of Villa Romana della Linguella and try to imagine how it must have looked in its glory days.
You'll need to pay to enter this once-important structure, which is located in Portoferraio Old Town. But there's lots more to explore around this area than just Villa Romana della Linguella. Sansone Beach, Lacona Beach and Biodola Beach are also worth adding to your schedule.
