The Local Area

Valle dell’Erica is strategically situated on a headland, opposite Spargi island in the archipelago of La Maddalena, from where an estuary leads into Porto Pozzo which is the nearest village, approximately 4km away. The larger town and port of Santa Teresa di Gallura, situated on the most northerly tip of the island, is approximately 12km along the coast to the west with a good selection of shops, café bars, weekly market, restaurants and ferries to Corsica.

Huw's View

Valle dell’Erica is a relaxed resort style hotel and the natural beauty of its location makes it very special. It is perfect for both families and couples with the freedom to explore this beautiful expanse of open headland, with many secluded coves and beaches and clear blue sea ideal for swimming and snorkelling.

La Licciola is a superb addition to the resort with lovely guest rooms and family suites sleeping up to 5 and the Exclusive area is ideal for those wanting to relax away from young children with a freshwater pool.

There is a well-planned dedicated children’s area with children’s clubs and entertainment – day and evening! Meanwhile, adults can choose from relaxing by the pool, on the beach or in the al fresco spa pools (extra cost).

I can highly recommend this hotel for its unique location and outstanding sea views from most of the rooms, bars and restaurants. 

Car hire is essential for those who wish to access the town, see more of the local area or take advantage of the Brunch Around option.
