Hotel Don Diego is just 14km south of Olbia and 2km from Porto San Paolo which has a few shops, bars and restaurants. The hotel is situated on the Costa Dorata, a quiet stretch of coastline with many coves and beaches to explore, azure blue waters and views of the islands of Tavolara and Molara beyond.

There are boat trips available locally to the island of Tavolara which is a limestone massif 5km long and 1km wide. A cove and beach can be found at each end of the island, Spalmatore di Fuori at the northeast, and Spalmatore di Terra at the southwest. Currently, the island is inhabited by only a handful of families and has a small cemetery and summer restaurant. The water around the island is a popular spot for scuba diving as part of the Tavolara and Punta Coda Cavallo Marine Preserve created in 1997.  In the 19 ^th and 20 ^th centuries, an imaginary state was set up on the island by the Bertoleoni family as the Kingdom of Tavolara.  After Italian unification, King Paolo actively sought recognition from Italy. During his reign, in 1868 the Italian government began operating a lighthouse on the northeast end of the island.  The present claimant is an Italian citizen named Tonino Bertoleoni, who runs "Da Tonino," a restaurant on the island.
