Huw's View

These basic terraced bungalows have been recently refurnished and enjoy a delightful position, perfect for a relaxing holiday by the pool and beach or to use as a base to explore this beautiful area of Sardinia by car or by boat! Guests have the benefit of using some of the neighbouring 5 star hotels' facilities (extra cost). This residence is in an enviable location with stunning sea views and we highly recommend hiring a boat or taking a boat trip to visit the stunning Maddalena islands.

The local town of Palau is 10/15 minutes drive with a selection of supermarkets, shops, weekly local market, good restaurants and pizzerias.  From here there are ferries to visit the island of La Maddalena. Car hire is essential. 

Please note that the resort has steep paths and steps due to its hillside position.
