Maddalena Island, Sardinia, Italy
Villas on La Maddalena and Santa Maria Islands
Perched on the coastline, with direct access to a private mooring and the beach, with access to many other beaches within easy walking distance, the villa comprises a large estate, including the old fisherman's cottage and the caretaker's cottage which sit directly by the beach. Both have been refurbished to become comfortable and enigmatic holiday homes.
La Maddalena Island. Sleeps 6 (+2)
By small sandy cove. Situated in a picturesque location just outside the village it has been fully refurbished keeping the old charm of a spacious fisherman's cottage.
La Maddalena has recently become one of the most “in” places in Sardinia, where people book accommodation early in the year to be sure to find availability!
La Maddalena village centre, with its lively port is a bustling coastal village which reminds us a bit of the French Riviera and places such as Nice. It has a historic town centre with characteristic restaurants, bars in the “piazza” and many boutiques.
Half of the island is totally protected and therefore more than 50% of the Island are uninhabited. The coastline are strikingly beautiful and wild with many sandy coves and beaches some of which can only be reached by boat.
Nearby are another smaller islands which together with La Maddalena create the Archipelago of La Maddalena, one of Sardinia's best protected and most beautiful coastlines, strictly protected by conservation laws, and uninhabited.
These islands are:
- Spargi
- Budelli (with the famous pink sand)
- Razzoli
- Santa Maria
- Caprera (with Italy's most famous and expensive sailing club and sailing school)
How to get to Maddalena
Every half an hour in the peak season small ferryboats, mainly Salemar (www.saremar.it), leave PALAU to go to La Maddalena. The crossing time is approximately 20 min. The boats moor directly on La Maddalena island and main harbour.
Excursions to the Archipelago of La Maddalena are very popular, many offer “lunch” on board.
