Beautiful scene, blue sea coast!😍It was lovely beach coast, nice walk. Can be windy, the water is not warm at all, bit fir me was nice from Ireland :)) Can hire 2sunbeds+umbrella for 24euro. Nice snacks, bats and beers on the beach all along. Friendly ppl. Revommend to visit.

Just a very busy beach with big crowds sections where you pay to stay or free of charge. Very long and nice sand.

Beautiful and huge beach. Safe enough, perfect if you have kids sandy and quiet water.. almost no waves.. There is plenty of free parking spot + free bathroom and showers.

Beautiful clean beach. Relaxed atmosphere and lovely people. Its gorgeous

Poetto is a 8km long beach with easy access by public transport, very nice and clean, calm water, amazing for kids, with restaurants along the beach. I found a small stretch of beach with family atmosphere. It's a great opportunity to enjoy a beach day if you are in Cagliari.

Super beautiful and clear water. Lots of people, but that’s understandable. Really recommended, I would totally go again.

Warm water with kids activities! The water is shallow for a good way out. Our family had a great time!

Incredible location and design but unfortunately understaffed and lacking the flow a 5* hotel should deliver. With the remoteness of this location also comes the fact that you’re beholden to eating here for every meal, which gets pricey. Beach bar was closed for the entire week, and it was hard to find anyone for service even in the bar. The few members of staff who were there were going above and beyond to make up for lack of numbers, but their struggle was visible (and at times resulted in frustration towards guests.) Feels like it either needs to come down in price (and stars) or level up in service.

5 stars for location but 5 star service is something else. This hotel is wonderfully renovated and appointed and its location is stunning. Unfortunately the inefficiency and unfriendliness of some of the staff and too many amenities not working is not what to be expected from a 5 star hotel. No attention to detail and too many frustrating discussions. For example we would have expected at least a plate of fruit or a welcome drink upon arrival, the AC in our room was not working properly and after several trips to the front desk to have it checked it wasn’t until the ceiling caved in that they addressed the situation by assigning us another room. Restaurant staff was very confusing, roles did not seem to be clear, being asked the same question multiple times or not at all (wine was never offered at dinner, we had to ask… even for a missing fork…). The food was good but pricey given the remote location. No food or drink service at the beach area. The massage jets at the pool did not work and only one of the pool treadmills was usable because they “lost” the other remote. Housekeeping was also inconsistent, we had to ask for toilet paper and did not get the turn-down service either of the 3 nights we stayed there. Check-out is at 11 but only one front desk staff available who seemed overwhelmed so it took a long time. We did manage to have a very relaxing stay thanks to the location but everything else was frustrating for the price point.

Unfortunately, our experience at Hotel Le Dune Piscinas (Sardinia) was far from what you’d expect from a 5-star hotel. Check-in was handled by a new, well-meaning staff member, but we received no introduction or basic information about the hotel—we had to ask everything ourselves later. We had big expectations to have a perfect closure of our 11 days trip over the beautiful island of Sardinia. When we asked if someone could help us get fuel in a canister, since our car was nearly empty and we weren’t sure we’d make it to the next gas station (especially given how remote and difficult the access road is), we were simply told “the gas station isn’t far.” No assistance offered—again, not what you’d expect from a luxury hotel in such an isolated location. Our room had no TV remote. After asking reception for help, no one showed up. Only after a follow-up call did someone come, said she’d check and get back to us—but we never heard from her again. When we followed up again in person, we were just told, “no TV.” No explanation, no apology. We’ve rarely experienced such dismissive behavior in a 5-star setting. We also asked about late check-out or luggage storage, as we had spa treatments booked. The response: there’s an event, talk to someone in the morning. No effort to assist or accommodate. We ended up canceling the spa—lost revenue for them, and a poor guest experience for us. The room itself felt neglected: we had to kill around 30 mosquitos, the bathroom fan didn’t work, nor did the ceiling speaker. It seemed like a room that shouldn’t have been in service at all. Even worse, housekeeping entered our room despite the “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door—an absolute no-go for any hotel, let alone a supposed 5-star one. The only positive note was the spa staff. They were professional, attentive, and even helped us with some issues the reception couldn’t or wouldn’t handle. A clear contrast to the front desk. While the location is undeniably beautiful and unique—as many reviews note—the hotel’s service, maintenance, and attitude fall far short of luxury standards. The “gourmet” restaurant is, at best, average. Sadly, not recommend for the price asked.

Fantastic location in nature, very friendly people especially Ines from the restaurant gives a warm welcome. The only thing is the high prices of food and drinks, it’s not possible to go out for diner too other restaurants.

The rooms are very nice and also the location in this marvellous and unique scenery is well situated. It's really a wonderful experience to enjoy dinner during sunset. However, the service cannot keep up with the beauty of the beach, the dunes and the sea: the lady at the reception had a quite strict way of welcoming us. And made us pay the stay twice: in her accounting system the advance paymemt was not recorded, so WE had to pay another time. In the morning, they realized their mistake and promised a prompt repayment - this was more than two weeks ago and I am still waiting for my Money, despite having sent already two reminder- the last one with absolutely no reaction at all. And also Düring the dinner, we were served wrong desserts, and after having brought this to the attention of the main waiter, the only reaction was a shrug of the shoulders. In the morning, the chef de service appologized for his team. So, all in all, it was a memorable stay, however, for a 5★L hotel which hast also this price level, there were too many mistakes - and this leaves a bad aftertaste.

An extraordinarily interesting hotel built in an old mining area that both benefits from and is hindered by its isolation. Somewhat difficult and challenging to reach with winding dirt roads, Le Dune Piscinas has gone back in time and found a part of Sardinia that does not exist in Villasimius or the Costa Smerelda. The beaches and water are extraordinary and belong to you. There are long stretches of time you may not see anything but sand and the bluest sea. Sparsely populated, this is definitely not a place you come to party or disco. This is a spot to disappear from the world. A location where you can forget about the many problems of the planet. There are no stores, no shopping, no cafes, no real entertainment. Only the hypnotic sound of the sea and a beautiful pool which carries your mind away to simpler times without stress. The downside to all this isolation is that you are really isolated. There is nowhere to eat but the hotel’s restaurant. There is nowhere to get a drink but the hotel’s bar. There is nothing accessible off site. So, if you do not like the food or you find the service slow, there are no other options. You are really isolated to a point where you have no choice. In fact, on the adjacent beach which was quite large and beautiful, we literally found no one over the whole day except for the skeleton of a poor goat that must have fallen into the sea somewhere. The rooms are lovely, large modern (in a good way) and well appointed. Ours had a large patio overlooking the pool and ocean. The bathrooms are lovely and the shower excellent. Despite all modern conveniences, the designer kept many of the appointments of the old stone buildings which added to the overall atmosphere. Despite the isolation and one kitchen, the food is good. It is not as great as it could or should be, but it is good. The service is somewhat slow and can be frustrating at time. This, I suspect, is another result of isolation. It is likely difficult to attract the very best in the service industry here. The staff must feel the impact of being so isolated; that said they do try their very best and there are several who are extremely nice and make an extra effort. Another impact of isolation is that when products are out of stock, it takes time to restock them. An example is several Vermentinos from good producers which were on the wine list were not available. When I asked the bar manager, he indicated that expected shipments never arrived. Again, isolation has its downside. Similar experiences involved food products which limited meal choices to some extent. Breakfast (included) was very good with an abundance of local foods like 6 different local sheep cheeses and goat yogurt. A great way to start the day and it added to our sense of adventure. Unfortunately, check-out was maddeningly slow and unacceptable for a 5-stat hotel as the lone woman in charge seemed confused by the computer and attempted everything by hand. She was clearly frustrated and eventually (20 min) was coached by a younger manager to complete the check out procedure. Despite some negatives, Le Dune Piscinas is an extraordinary experience and a nice way to check into a different, slower pace than our crazy world. It is highly recommended although traveling here with young children may not be the best idea. They will likely be bored. Isolation has its benefits but children may not agree. 4.5 stars.

The food is fabulous. We were half-board which was great value. I can't praise the quality of the food, the menu options, the wine list & service highly enough. It's just as well because the location is isolated & I don't think there's a restaurant for miles. It's the best food we've had in Sardinia. Enough of that. The hotel is great. It's boutique not resort 5 star. Our room wasn't huge but it was beautiful. The beach & settling is probably unique for Sardinia. The hotel sits on a massive beach/expanse of sand. It's a former mining export facility & there's no way you'd get permission to build it today. Value for money? High. Yes, as others have posted the bar is a couple of Euros higher but...err..you're in a low volume, high quality, unique setting. Worth every penny.

Beautiful important archaeological site. The tours are every 30 minutes and they last 1 hour. Tour is available in English too, price is decent and includes the museum in the village ahead of the site and other activities as well. Highly recommended.

UNESCO world heritage. Very interesting historical place to visit. Very good guided tour (eng) at this +1500 years old fortress. Be prepared for narrow and steep walkways within the structure.

Fascinating and a must-see site for all who love ancient history. Well-preserved Nuragic complex dating back over 3,500 years. The central tower (~ 18 meters high) and surrounding village give you a real sense of how advanced the Nuragic civilization was. Narrow passages, spiral staircases, and circular huts show how people lived many years ago. The guided tour was informative and brought the place to life. Included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Please check the time when excursions start to avoid long waiting (especially in English). Highly recommended

Interesting former fort. An archaeological experience although much reconstructed. Tour takes you up the remains and into the narrow tunnels. Inside isn't for information or claustrophobic! Fascinating site and location. Tours are required and run every half hour. Unesco interest.

The past can be touched and felt. Amazing piece of history. The tour guide was very kind and funny. No question left un answered. But note: The pathways inside the tower are really narrow and steep. Good footwear needed ...not for claustrophobic people or when afraid of hights.

It's a good experience since you learn a bit of the history of Nuragis, also the archeological site is quite impressive due to the rock sizes, however, it is a short visit, no museums or any other interactive experience that will explain or show more about the history of Nuragis besides what the guide explains. Short experience, it's worth to visit if you are driving through.

The archaeological site itself is truly impressive and well worth visiting; the problem lies with the tour guide. During the tour, you are required to follow the guide. However, perhaps because it was peak tourist season in August, the guide seemed more like a temporary employee. Her English was fluent, but somewhat unclear, as if she had simply memorized a script. She couldn't understand questions asked in English, and didn't seem to have a deep understanding of the site's history. Her presentation consisted of a few photocopied pictures, and with so many people spread out, it was difficult to hear her. Furthermore, she didn't allow enough time to properly explore and appreciate the site. Even worse, when we wanted to stop for a few minutes to observe and take photos, she rudely refused and abruptly closed the gate (there were no other groups, so there was no issue of overcrowding). She ignored our questions, even when we told her that another family from our group was still behind us, slowly walking along. She offered no response and showed no enthusiasm or passion for the culture. There were many tourists from various countries. It's fair to say that visiting guided tours is a bit of a gamble. During our travels in Sardinia, we visited countless sites and met many enthusiastic tour guides who were passionate about history and culture; we learned so much from them and left with a wealth of knowledge and wonderful memories. However, for this particular tour, had we not done some research beforehand, paying for the guided tour would have been a waste of money and we would have been disappointed.

Way too crowded (August 2025), steep descent into the sea, not the cleanest one, showers with sea water. Rice sand is just perfect, the best I have ever experienced

Is Arutas Beach is truly unique, with its white quartz sand and crystal-clear waters. Easy access with nearby parking, and the beach is also wheelchair friendly. A rare and exceptional spot to relax, swim, and enjoy unforgettable views.

Arrived early in the morning around 9.30. Payed parking not cheap. 8.50euro for 6 hours or 10 euro for the all day. From the parking there à several paths to walk. The one nicer than the other with a small bridge to pass. Today no beach garde and no marking of the safe swimming area. The beach was today after the big rain and thunder showers à little bit mixed with dry grass. There are a lot of rocks, small and big to take care of. Even for your parasol you have to find the right spot to dig into the risotto liked small stone beach. The sea was calm and enough places to install yourself. Overall an ok beach. Don’t forget to follow the local restrictions of the Sardinia beaches with big fines.

A white coarse grain quartz “sand” beach. Quite special. The water is very clear and we enjoyed swimming in it. The waves weren’t too big although you get deep very quickly. There are showers to get the salt and the sand off. We came by bike so parking wasn’t a cost or problem. If to go further south along the dirt road then the parking is free.

A stunning beach with crystal-clear water and surreal colors that seem almost unreal. The shoreline is covered with unique quartz "rice-grain" sand that gives the place a magical appearance and feels great underfoot. The sand is made of tiny, polished grains of quartz, giving it a distinctive white, pink, and green appearance. It’s a paradise for nature lovers and perfect for a peaceful day by the sea. *Heads-up:* As the sun begins to set, be prepared — the mosquitoes come out in full force and they don’t hold back! Bring repellent if you plan to stay late.

The best beach in the Sinis' peninsula. Cristal clear waters and the sand is made of white quartz. It gets busy. Best time to visit and get a nice spot are early morning or late afternoon. I recommend watching the sunsets.

We chose this beach after seeing the reviews, particularly due to the unique terrain. It was lovely, and the miniscule pebbles as a substitute for sand is something I’d wish instead of every sandy beach from now onwards. Water is crystal clear and the atmosphere is relaxing.

(Translated by Google) The historic center is beautiful, with all the colorful houses. (Original) Bellissimo il centro storico.con tutte le case colorate.

Stunning pure nature. You can see goats , horses, muflons and of course unique white donkeys walking around you. Also the prison is very interesting. I recommend to take a boat taxi from windsurfing center near LA Pelosa

The most beautiful place I've ever been!

TOP

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful places in Sardinia and in the world. You will be able to find various things to visit, the prison, the ossuary, the old work buildings, but above all... The greenery and the sea. It's great to tour the island by bike, be careful in the summer because it's 40 degrees. The only thing, remember that this island is a protected park, so forget about services, taxis, public transport, banks or similar. (Original) Uno dei posti più belli della Sardegna e del mondo. Potrete trovare varie cose da visitare, il carcere, l'ossario, le vecchie costruzioni di lavoro, ma soprattutto... Il verde e il mare. Grandioso girare l'isola in bici, attenti d'estate perché ci sono 40 gradi. Unica cosa, ricordate che quest'isola è un parco protetto, per cui dimenticatevi servizi, taxi, mezzi pubblici, banche o similari.

(Translated by Google) Fabulous place, uncontaminated and rich in every type of flora and especially fauna, I don't think I have ever seen more beautiful seaside places in my life, even though I went in August, there were a maximum of 50/60 people on the whole island, I highly recommend it (Original) Posto favoloso, incontaminato e ricco di ogni tipo di flora e soprattutto fauna, non credo di aver visto mai in vita mia posti di mare più belli, nonostante sia andato ad agosto, c'erano massimo 50/60 persone in tutta l'isola, lo consiglio vivamente

(Translated by Google) Beautiful park surrounded by nature, it is easy to meet wild animals and the beaches are wonderful. If you decide to visit it by bike it is recommended to do so only if you are well trained, there are many climbs. (Original) Bellissimo parco immerso nella natura, è facile incontrare animali selvatici e le spiagge sono stupende se si decide di visitarlo in bici è consigliato farlo solo se ben allenati, ci sono molte salite.

really beautiful beach, I see what all the hype is about as the sand is white and water is clear. however, given you have to pay for both entry and parking, in my opinion the coast has nicer beaches that are less crowded. still worth the experience

Beautiful water, wonderful view, €2/person for entry, so many people and the beach/sand area is quite narrow. No regular towels are allowed. Only microfiber, plastic or polyester picnic blankets or reed mats. The beach police will 100% check what you laying on because you cannot take sand out of the beach. Very strict rules. Basic restaurant on site, and the GPS had a very hard time to find the main entrance. You need to look for a huge rock on the side of the road saying Cala Brandinchi

It’s the 3rd time for us visiting this beach, after 2020 and 2023 and we loved it this time even more. It is just a beautiful setting. Yes it is crowded, yes it is expensive but you know this already by the need for a reservation. My advice is to go early (preferably before 10) and walk north and you won’t have a problem in finding a spot.

Good for kids as the water is shallow but gets busy because of that. Is a private beach so you have to pay 2 euros per person and parking is 2.50 euros per hour but is worth itm

Really nice beach. Most often packed. Limit is around 1470 people. Almost 400 to much. Come early, really early. After 12 its hard to find a spot for towels.

Beautiful beach with ample parking. We entered through Giardini. Make sure you make reservations in advance!

Ah, Cala Brandinchi – affectionately known as Little Tahiti, though I suspect Tahiti might file a defamation claim if it saw the place this summer. Upon arrival, I was immediately struck by the sheer vibrancy of the beach. Not the turquoise water or the golden sand, mind you, but the dazzling array of umbrellas, inflatable flamingos, and the occasional elbow to the ribs. It’s a rare talent to make one feel nostalgic for the peaceful serenity of a rush-hour subway in Milan. The beach itself is… how shall I put it… rich in texture. Every few meters you’ll find delightful surprises: an empty plastic bottle here, a half-buried chip bag there. It’s almost like a scavenger hunt curated by Poseidon himself. For marine life enthusiasts, this is the place to be. Forget aquariums — here, you can witness the majestic Sardinian shark (photographic evidence included). Truly thrilling, especially when one is still in the water. As evening approached, I discovered that leaving the beach with one’s dog can be quite an odyssey. Between the labyrinth of sunbeds and the scent of melted sunscreen, one wonders if Odysseus himself ever tried to find his way back to the car park. And let us not forget the mysterious sea creature that emerged from the depths — an elderly gentleman dressed as a mermaid. I can’t say whether he was a local legend or a performance artist, but I do applaud his commitment to aquatic authenticity. All in all, Cala Brandinchi is the perfect destination for those who enjoy chaos with a touch of mythology. Come for the crowd, stay for the confusion. Five stars for entertainment, two for actual relaxation.

"A unique rock formation right by the road. We parked on the roadside and walked up to it easily in a short time. Very easy to access and a quick, interesting stop along the way."

So funny to see this rock shaped like an elephant, who knew there were elephants in Sardinia. There is some parking for about 10 cars by the side of the road. If you in the area its worth a look.

It's pretty cool for a short stop before Castalsardo. But be careful because sometimes it likes to dance around. 😉🐘

Worth seeing if you’re nearby, but not worth driving many kilometers just for this attraction. However, there are plenty of other sights in the area.

This was the highlight of our day. Must visit 10/10!

It is unbelivable how the likeness is this rock to an elephant! There was quite some people, but we enjoyed it!

Interesting rocky formation with pre-nuragic tombs. Could be better highlighted with more information / panels and with stricter rules for preservation / protection. Can be quite crowded for such a small POI.

A wonderful place to visit with a low draft sailing boat. The permit cost is 40% cheaper for sailing boats, which is logical and we appreciate that. Powerboats are noisy and generate pollution. The park has hundreds of places where to anchor, pristine and ecologically sound. The park authorities obviously do a good job!

After spending some days at Capo Testa, where we enjoyed snorkeling and discovering a reach underwater life, we decided to take a boat trip to the Maddalena National Park. We were full of expectation, thinking how wonderful it may be snorkeling there. Sailing with the wind in a small crew was a good start, but the the stop at the first cove was very disappointing: we were expected to swim between moving boats, so we risked to see nothing, life under water almost not existing. We were told that since it is September now there is less nautic trafic, but we witnessed every kind of boats coming from all directions and very close to the coves. We anchored in a more quiet and less touristic cove but again underwater life very poor. The day was at the end pleasant because of sailing and a nice skipper and the visit to the Cala Rosa, which is really protected, but we understood that the National Park is not a place to protect nature rather it is a place to make money, a LunaPark for reach tourist. I hope things will change and more ecologic tourism, which still advantage local people, will develop. Instead of taking a boat trip, please look for nice caves along the cost and you will have more fun and save money!😊

Beautiful landscape. Best is island Caprera which is connected to La Maddalena with a bridge. You can do nice walks in the national park.

Extremely clear and turquoise water. It's good to rent a pneumatic boat alone around 270 euros / day in August. From Palau you can walk about an hour to the interesting beaches and the pool area

Just Outstanding. We ALL have to protect these places. Some Plastic Pollution also here, but engaged local People to Clean it!

Beautiful clear water, blue skies almost every day, honestly a perfect place to go on vacation and relax

It is definitely a must see in Sardinia. You need to take a ferry from Palau, but it's absolutely worthy. Beautiful crystal water and sandy beaches

Absolutely stunning place! The rock formations here are truly a masterpiece of nature😌 each one shaped by time and wind into unique, almost surreal sculptures. The views over the turquoise sea are breathtaking, and the entire area feels like a magical escape. Highly recommended for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts💙

Fantastic place to trek and enjoy beaches. The granite natural sculpture and the abandoned lighthouse make this place surreal. Plenty of option and also you could spot some of the locals ( 🐐) climbing 😁. I would say is difficult with small kids due to access to the beach is quite rocky

Stunning walking area and beautiful turquoise sea! We saw a tortoise walking in the wild near Valle de la Luna. Amazing place!

Was a great day with some amazing views! Great with kids, can climb pretty much all over. Even the coffee bar at the top was great… good burgers and great fries

Really impressing rocks & worth a visit! Parking not so easy and the trails need some hints where to go. The beach directly at Capo Testa is a unique place, but extremely crowded - and hard to reach (some „climbing“).

Capo Testa is great for a walk to discover the rock formations sculpted by the wind. But it is also great for a swim. There are two sides, on one side a long strip of sand and the other a couple of hidden small creeks with some sand. We chose the later for its peaceful nature and crystal clear water. Parking could be a big issue during the high season. While you come on the road and see some cars, park, don’t go further thinking you will find something. You won’t.

In a gorgeous world to see there don’t think twice if you are in town you have to do it Make sure to have a jacket Arrive early and buy your tickets in advance

Absolutely stunning beach , the water is crystal clear and the backdrop of tees around the bay is glorious. Some fabulous beaches bars too. We recommend La Plage and Le Fort. The downside is it gets super busy in peak season. If you have to go in August go early morning, if you are lucky enough to go late September, you will be in paradise !

Lovely beach, but very crowded and the parking costs 20€ 🤨. Also some places full of seagrass. But water is clean, no big waves.

A bit crowded, but nice water and actual sand. I don't like jetskies or parasailing, makes the natural experience bad. I liked the good bars on the beach to have lunch.

The beach consists of a long narrow strip of fine clean sand (between 10m and 30m in width), skirting a bay of very shallow clear water which extends at least 50 m from the shoreline. The setting is hardly spectacular but the peninsula making up the South side of the bay provides a pretty backdrop. On a fine sunny weekday afternoon towards the end of September the beach was busy, but not oppressively so. All the usual water sports/activities were available and the beach is also a drop-off/pick-up point for cruises along the coast. Various bars - none very special - are dotted along the central part of the beach, closest to the parking areas. Was it quiet or romantic : no, would it be a fine place for small children to paddle in the water : emphatically yes. In line with the reports from other reviewers, I can easily imagine that it would be an absolute zoo in July and August.

Great beach in the south of Corsica. Very overrated in my opinion. Very expensive ar park, flat rate 10 pounds. A lot of bars on the beach which kind of ruins the experience. It can be quite crowded as well. Clean water lovely views. Great for kids.

Stunning beach and surroundings, very clean and transparent water. Many options for water activities. Plenty of restaurants

We were here 2 weeks ago, not over impressed, it what to busy and the sea wasn’t as clear as many people had described. If I’m honest I was a little bit disappointed

Beautiful clean water, with some parts more crowded than others. Parking for free is tricky, better either choose a beachclub if you plan to eat anyways (parking fees will be deducted), or there are large cheap parkings at the north eastern end.

A must see in the south of Corsica. When we went it was raining but the sea water was still warm. Easy access, cheap parking and lovely bar on the beach. Overall a great beach.

Best plage 🏝️👌 If you come to the south of Corsica, be sure to go to this beach

Great beach, turquoise water and it was not crowded but parking is ridiculously expensive, 35 eur for 5 hours on the beach or in best case 11.20 eur for 4 hours. And then you have to walk 600 meters downhill and coming back to the car is a real training. There is one bar and one restaurant with prices for Space tourism

I went there very much at the end of the season. No problem parking plenty of place on the beach. Temperature was perfect for me. Could still get a drink. I appreciate others may have different experiences if they go in July or August but has to be one of the most stunning beaches in France.

Amazing place with great food, drinks, music and breathtaking water

Wonderful sand beach with convenient parking. Came at around 11 in the morning and it was not a problem to park car in the shade of pine trees. And parking is free! Beach itself goes alongside, walk further and it will not be crowded at all. Crystal clear and shallow water, stones to make insta pics, bars everything is there! The best beach for us visited in Corsica! Recommended!!!

Very friendly staff and a great view. After a long hike we very much enjoyed the wild boar stew and veal in tomato sauce. The food was good and the service was quick

Amazing location and landscape. We were simply amazed by the delicious food and very good service. Not to mention the affordable prices. We returned after 2 days for another delicious meal. Definitely deserves coming back!

Fantastic food, service and view! There’s nothing not to like about this place, it’s the perfect mountain stop. The crepes were amazing, and the people were incredibly welcoming and friendly. I’d love to drop by again at some point!

Fantastic views. Service quite ok. Food so so…

Payment by card only from 50 euros. Only sandwiches on the menu. We do not recommend!

Restaurant with excellent view! All food we ordered was delivered fast and was delicious 👌

At 11am, we’ve ordered 2 cappuccinos at an almost empty restaurant. We were served two cups of warm milk with barely dissolved instant coffee or similar substance floating on top although they have an espresso machine. Upon politely asking whether our order was misunderstood, we were informed in no uncertain terms that “chez nous le cappuccino est comme ça”. Best avoided.

I was looking forward to our six and a half hour journey from Bastia to Nice on Corsica Ferries, but I must admit it turned out to be a terrible experience. The staff were extremely unhelpful and miserable. It was as if they were being made to work and didn't want to. Their attitude was abysmal. The food, which I expect to be expensive on a ferry, truly was expensive with a 500ml bottle of still water costing €2.90. The music on the sundeck was far too loud and someone somewhere kept flicking from track to track part way through a song. The dreadful music is not necessary in this day and age where passengers can choose to listen to what they like on their smartphones. All in all I'm glad I won't be travelling with Corsica ferries ever again.

The worst crossing ever with this company on Mega Express 5. The personnel were unprofessional and unhelpful. The smell of sewage throughout the accommodation was overpowering. The staff in the Gusto restaurant overcharged for drinks and refused to reimburse the difference. No more than theft. They refused to call a supervisor when requested. The vessel is old and in very poor condition. Flooring is filthy, cabin in need of repair and the structure on the car decks showing signs of cracks.

My suggestions for improvement: The staff on the Livorno ferry could definitely be friendlier. A more polite manner and greater willingness to assist would significantly enhance the travel experience. The ferry seems to be in an outdated condition and requires renovation. New carpets, chairs, and overall modern furnishings would uplift the onboard ambiance. If dogs are allowed on board, appropriate facilities should be provided for them. Artificial grass and clean disposal options for dog waste would be a welcome improvement. The conditions of the onboard sanitary facilities are unacceptable. Cleanliness and hygiene should be top priorities and urgently improved. Surveys should inquire about the status of the pool if it is actually in operation. The information should be current and relevant. The website is also in need of improvement to better inform customers about the services and the condition of the ferry. The Wi-Fi code didn't work, which was a frustrating experience. Likewise, the booked Express Boarding did not function as expected. My opinion on the crossing: Overall, my experience on this ferry was disappointing. The staff's rudeness, the poor condition of the facilities, non-functional Wi-Fi, and the disappointing Express Boarding all marred the experience. The cabins were acceptable, and I appreciate the honesty of the staff when my wallet was found in one of the cabins. Boarding in Bastia went smoothly, and the staff there were more polite. Nevertheless, there is an urgent need for improvements on this ferry to justify the high prices. The information on the website should be updated to better inform future passengers and avoid disappointments.

Good experience but survive could be better and food onboard was pricey

Ferry from Nice to Bastia was nice. Onboarding was super fast. Room was clean , food was ok. It was quite fast. We reached quite fast, less than 9 hrs. Overall really good experience

Set off late by about 20 minutes and arrived at Bastia port on Corsica at about 1 am instead of 11 pm, but the voyage was smooth and the sunset was awesome.

I took the ferry to Bastia and back. 1. The WiFi does not work at all. DON'T PAY FOR IT 2. The bathrooms were extremely FILFTHY they are not cleaned during or between the trips. It was absolutely disgusting. 3. Smell of diesel was everywhere I almost vomit.

Absolutely magical beach. We were blown away! The water is perfect. May was the perfect time to come as there was nobody around.

Great beach, bring water shoes to be optimally comfortable. With flip flops or sandals you won't be comfortable, the beach is made of little rocks that go under your feet and hurt a little. The beach can be accessed with a 10 minute hike, nothing major but not accessible with wheelchairs or strollers. The bar on top of the beach is great for a snack and a drink.

We read a lot of reviews before going and only read come early to get a free parking. Early means prior 8.30 I would say, we were there at that time and already looked pretty full. LOOK AT THE SIGNS on the street! A lot of people parked on the street and ended up with a fine about 29€. At the point it is better to pay for the parking which costs 18€. The parking also has limited spaces available. To go to the beach you have to walk a bit, the way goes down and then back up. You will first find a small beach and then the Sansone beach. You can get umbrella and sunbeds for 40€ for the entire day. The beach at 10 is already full and packed. Forget about having a lot of space, where your towel ends another begins. Except of that the water is crystal clear and it is very beautiful 😊.

I visited Spiaggia di Sansone beach on Saturday and was truly impressed! The beach is beautiful with clean sand, and the water was warm and crystal clear, just like in the photos. The water was so transparent that you could easily see the fish and pebbles on the bottom. It’s a perfect spot for both relaxing and swimming. I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates natural beauty and cleanliness. A truly amazing place!

Definitely the number 1 of Elba. You have a good walk to get there up and down, steep at time and with steps, so not recommended to those with limited mobility, and no for small kids. The walk 15/20 min, was definitely worth it, we went there the 10 June in the morning 11 am and was already packed definitely a no go from now on until the end of the summer season to go back from September. Also you have a pay parking for 14 euro daily. The water is just stunning, swimming among fishes and white pebbles ! (This is the beach which is the image of the Acqua del Elba parfum ) You don't have a bar on the beach but one up few steps fee minutes walk. You have the sides with free beach and then the center with pay beds and umbrella as unfortunately most beaches in Italy (Islands and no)

Amazing beach, rocky instead of sand, but the water is incredible. Good spot for swimming and enjoying the day. There’s a small restaurant to buy snacks and drinks with and amazing view from the top. The parking situation is a nightmare. Make sure you arrive early as it gets crowded. Parking is done in the small mountain road and then you have to do a short hike downwards to the beach. This place is not accesible for wheelchair. Umbrellas and beach beds are available for rent however in small qty due to the limited space.

One of the most beautiful (perhaps the most beautiful) beaches on the island of Elba. Even on the way to the beach, where you walk for a while along a trail, there are stunning views of the crystal-clear emerald sea. The pebbles are white, the beach and the sea are clean, with a quick entry into the water. Sometimes, there are small waves, and when snorkeling, you can see fish or swim to other nearby beaches. Highly reccomended for people who wants to see beautiful beach and are not afraid of a small trail and people in the season.🤿🐠🌊

Great place for standup puddling and a coconut from NonSolo Coco guy

Nice sand, a bit more coarse than usual. Great brown color. Long stretch of free beach, and nice big waves during our visit. The Land behind is also beautiful, with big pine trees.

Super!

We went late in the afternoon. Water was great but the highlight was the sunset. One of the most beautiful one we have seen

The most beautiful beach in Italy!

Very nice natural beach with a very calm backlands, lots of trees and shadowy places also. Very relaxing.

I have never seen such a beautiful place vedo. The water is like a big salt pool. Amazing

A fantastic amusement park for both younger and older children, suitable for all age groups including adults. Everyone will have lots of fun here. The park is large, so you can easily spend the whole day there. The entrance fee is quite reasonable considering everything the park offers. There are many attractions, each with specific entry rules based on the child's height or age. The park is set in a pine forest, which provides plenty of shaded areas for resting away from the sun. There are also many food stalls, making it an ideal place to spend time with kids. Free parking is available just a few meters from the main entrance to the park. We’ll definitely come back. Fantastic! 😊👌👌👌

Cavallino Matto is a surprisingly fun amusement park. Beyond exciting rides like Freestyle and Jurassic river, its true charm lies in its beautiful pine forest setting, offering refreshing shade and a unique natural ambiance. It's a delightful blend of thrills and nature. Great for families.

Great little theme park, lots of rides for younger children but a few good thrill rides too. Almost no queues for virtually every ride makes the whole experience so much better than most theme parks and the staff generally very friendly as well. The setting amongst lots of trees makes it look good as well as providing lots of shade in hot weather.

A great place to have fun with your family. We visit the park every summer and spend the whole day there. The staff at the ticket office were absolutely wonderful, making our arrival smooth and enjoyable. They were incredibly efficient, getting everyone through quickly even during a busy period, and answered all our questions with a smile. We really appreciated their excellent customer service and positive energy. There are a lot of rides and entertainment to choose from. The Jurassic River ride is spectacular! We also appreciated the picnic area and the alley with the misting system, which made us feel so refreshed on ascorching summer day.

Super friendly staff, nice set of diverse rides especially for smaller kids. It's great that the area is full of trees so there's always enough shade during hot weather. We experienced almost no waiting time for every attraction we tried. (Summer high season, but during a workday)

There’s nothing like italian theme parks, another one we were blown away by. We came with a 2 year old and even for him, there were so many rides and activities to enjoy. Great great experience, highly recommend, if you have a chance to go.

Great for young kids and families. Loads of rides of different intensity but hardly any queues in October. A couple of shows. Recommend bringing your own food and leaving it in the picnic area. No-one will touch it and you'll save a ton of money. The only water fountain with drinkable water is near the entrance so plan to go back there a few times during the day.

This is a beautiful atmospheric place that will please lovers not only of delicious food, but also of modern art. There is great cuisine and delicious cocktails. For little money you will get a delicious dinner, a great drink, wonderful acquaintances and a creative atmosphere. We were happy to come here every day during our vacation in Livorno.

Wonderful little bar with a great atmosphere and friendly service from the staff. A couple of people were playing music on the piano and guitar inside, a lovely environment to sit in the sun next to the water and enjoy a drink.

Only in for a beer, but the atmosphere left us sitting there for a few more. Cosy and artistic. A couple were entertaining on the piano, and a singer with a great voice. With the lady owner on the saxophone. Just great.

Absolutely love this place. They always treat my sister, sister in law, my niece, and myself with such respect and kindness when we come out here. Whether we come out here together or separately, it’s always the same politeness from the staff. 12/10 service and atmosphere, the food is good as well. If you’re American or traveling from outside of here, or if you even live here, I highly recommend stopping by here 🫶🏼

Great vibes! Live music, piano etc. Perfect setting to watch the sun set. Cheap and cosy

Nice artistic bar with a terrace and live instruments for guests to play rhe piano or guitar. Go!

By far the best experience in Livorno and there were many. This bar is situated next to The Grand Hotel on the sea front. Never the same experience with musicians and artist all visiting to set the vibe with the owners many available musical instruments being loaned to all. We concluded every day of our visit here and met some wonderful people especially the owners. A true treasure of Livorno.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most iconic and fascinating landmarks in the world a true symbol of Italy’s charm and history. Seeing it in person is an incredible experience; its famous tilt is even more striking and impressive than photos can capture. The white marble gleams beautifully under the sun, and the detailed Romanesque architecture is simply stunning. Climbing to the top is an unforgettable experience. As you ascend the spiral staircase, you can actually feel the tower’s tilt, which adds a sense of adventure and wonder. Once at the top, the panoramic view of Pisa and the surrounding Tuscan landscape is breathtaking. The tower is part of the Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles), surrounded by other magnificent monuments like the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the Baptistery, all of which are worth exploring. The area has a lively, joyful atmosphere with cafés, souvenir shops, and green lawns perfect for photos and relaxing. Whether you come for history, architecture, or just the fun of taking the classic “holding up the tower” photo, the Leaning Tower of Pisa never disappoints. It’s a place full of charm, beauty, and a sense of wonder that makes every visit truly special.

Iconic, Beautiful, and Worth the Hype (Visited in September 2025) I visited the Leaning Tower of Pisa in September 2025, and it was every bit as impressive as I hoped. Seeing it in person — slightly tilted yet perfectly balanced — was surreal. The weather was warm and sunny, perfect for walking around the Piazza dei Miracoli and taking photos without feeling rushed. Climbing the tower was an unforgettable experience. The marble steps are worn and slanted from centuries of use, and as you ascend, you can actually feel the lean — it’s both thrilling and slightly dizzying! The view from the top is absolutely worth it, offering panoramic views of Pisa and the surrounding Tuscan landscape. The area can be busy with tourists, but if you go early in the morning or later in the afternoon, it’s much quieter. The cathedral and baptistery nearby are also stunning and definitely worth exploring. Overall: A must-see once in your lifetime. The Leaning Tower of Pisa isn’t just a famous landmark — it’s a masterpiece of history, architecture, and human perseverance.

Pisa is a charming and historic city that truly captures the spirit of Italy. Famous for its iconic Leaning Tower, the city offers much more than just that – beautiful architecture, cozy streets, and a relaxing atmosphere. Walking around the Piazza dei Miracoli feels like stepping into a living museum, surrounded by stunning buildings and rich history. The locals are friendly, the food is delicious, and there’s a lovely mix of culture and calmness throughout the city. Whether you come for sightseeing, photography, or simply to enjoy authentic Italian vibes, Pisa is definitely worth visiting. A small city with a big heart — unforgettable and full of beauty! 🇮🇹✨

Before I went to visit, I thought it would be overrated, old and uninteresting, but when I got there, I was completely wowed! The tower and surrounding buildings have been maintained in such a pristine way that they look like they were built last week. For a building that is over 850 years old, it sure has aged well. The scale and lean of the tower is unbelievable and cannot be felt from pictures. This is a must visit when you are in Italy. It is truly a majestic sight.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is an absolute blast to visit! Seeing it in person is way more impressive than any photo, and the tilt is even more dramatic up close. The best part? Getting creative with photos! We had so much fun “holding it up,” pretending to push it over, leaning against it, or even putting it in an ice cream cone — endless silly opportunities for memories and laughs. The surrounding Piazza dei Miracoli is beautiful too, with the cathedral and baptistery making the perfect backdrop. Even just walking around and soaking in the architecture is a treat. Tip: bring your camera and a playful attitude — it’s all about the fun angles and perspective tricks. Crowds can get busy, so a little patience helps to get your perfect shot. Visiting the Leaning Tower isn’t just sightseeing — it’s a joyful, hands-on experience that’s perfect for families, friends, and anyone who loves a little photo fun. Definitely one of the most memorable stops in Italy!

Iconic- such an amazing view. I loved this place but so crowded. I would recommend visiting the museum next to the tower of Pisa to get an amazing view with minimal people spoiling your photos. Also there is a restaurant in this museum and you get a stunning view. Recommend climbing the tower of Pisa that was amazing make sure you are willing to climb as can be tiring. Trainers recommended for the climb.

Had a lovely time here. The tower itself has a beautiful view when you're at the top. The steps are slippery tho so be careful aspecially when walking back down. The cathedral is gorgeous also on the inside. We bought tickets that included entree to all buildings and museums and also walked the walls of pisa all the way (which was quite long). Definitely recommend visiting and also going inside.

The building was amazing but everything else lacked in excitement. There was only one fountain open to obtain water to drink. Nothing else was open. I was under tge influence that there was access to the hot springs for wading but that wasn't the case. I did catch a local orchestra practicing. Honestly, that was the highlight of that visit

The Piazza of miracles' is indeed filled with miracles of architecture. We visited them all. Get a full ticket from the Sinopie Museum. It will give you a set time for the Leaning Tower on day of purchase, while you have a year to visit all other locations! If you include a separately charged wall access from the corner tower, there are 7 things to visit.

Piazza del Duomo is one of the most breathtaking squares in the world — a true masterpiece of harmony, art, and faith. Surrounded by the Cathedral, Baptistery, Leaning Tower, and Camposanto, every corner shines with elegance and history. The white marble buildings glowing under the Tuscan sun create an almost dreamlike scene. Standing here feels like being inside a living work of art — peaceful, majestic, and timeless. Absolutely magnificent and unforgettable!

This something This place is simply spectacular. The architecture is massive and incredibly impressive—pictures don't do it justice. Inside, it’s a masterpiece of art and history, packed with stunning stained glass and biblical details. My top recommendation: definitely buy the ticket to go up to the top. Walking around the exterior and seeing the views from above is the highlight of the trip. Totally worth the wait!

This is how beautiful it can be in Pisa, this small fantastic cosy city with it’s unbeatable charm. I walked the street and tje wall, everything was almost as a dream, I met fantastic people, I saw buildings that almost made me faint, it was like I was hit by Stendahls Syndrome. Pisa is a MUST city and the Tower area is the symbol of great architecture with classical style and grace. I’ll ne back!

Piazza del Duomo in Pisa was one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. From the moment you enter through the gate, you’re surrounded by breathtaking architecture and a truly positive atmosphere. The intricate details of the icons and sculptures inside are stunning, and every corner of the square feels rich with history and beauty. An unforgettable experience

It's true you can't go far in Italy without running into history and this is no exception. Using viator, ITaly, lime (scooter rental), the world is your oyster. In your typical basilica, cathedral or place of worship related to Catholicism. The walls will be lined with this stations of the cross, not the duomo. It's its walls were lined with apostles and followers of Jesus. Make sure you catch the show output at noon.The bells ring the mechanical figures put on a lovely show in the piazza. If you're interested, pay a visit to the museum located on-site as well as the cript.

Very unique place of the walled city of Lucca. Its almost whole round walkable on the top of the walls or street inside the walls. Plenty of trees, walkways are suitable for jogging and fitness exercises and walking of the locals. very calm green place. From the walls you can see the old city and also outside, small water channels under the wall. All around are about 11 bastions and couple of gates to the city. The wall is 4 km long and is among the best preserved Renaissance fortifications in Europe, and the second largest intact example of a fully walled Renaissance city after Nicosia on Cyprus.

A short walk...even with your roller bag...from the train station to the walls of Lucca. I always get a smile when the gate comes into view. The walled city of Lucca still holds plenty of lore with its many restaurants and merchants. This trip we stayed at the Grand Universe right in the center of Lucca so we could be immersed in the city culture and people.

We used the ramp at Porta di San Pietro to take a one-hour stroll anticlockwise along the wall. The views of the old city on one side and of the Lucca hills and Apuan Alps on the other are charming and inspiring. Due to lack of time we were not able to walk the entire length (4.4 km) of the wall, but the segment we did, was organized as a usual public park. The park would benefit of informative panels that could provide visitors with historical context and details on the surrounding area.

Well worth seeing. Amazing. Careful with toddlwrs near the top as its a sheer drop

Fun way to visit the city. You can walk, stroll, bike, we rent a 6 person bike. 1-2h walking.

My favourite part of our visit to Lucca was the Mura di Lucca. An absolutely brilliant use of the city wall by having a multipurpose recreational trail on top of the wall! Paved for walking and wheeling, the many ramps give ready access for users. The bulwarks of the wall have parks, playgrounds, and picnic areas. Several museums and the Botanical gardens are accessed from the trail. The Mura also has several gates as well as pedestrian tunnels. Stunning views of the hills surrounding Lucca. Worth a saunter!

Amazing and beautiful scenery. You can either walk around on the walls or rent a bicycle for faster movement. The view from the walls is truly beautiful.

Riding the funicolare to the top of the mountain is totally worth it!! While you are up there- explore the small medieval village! The view is fabulous! 👍❤️

Great experience—definitely recommend! The return ticket was €7 per person, and absolutely worth it. Montecatini Alto felt like stepping back in time. I absolutely loved it! 🥰

It was a fun, relaxing ride, you have plenty of information available on the spot regarding its history an elevation angles. And the view from Montecatini Alto is magnificent. The funicular program makes it hard to miss the experience (it is open until 24.00).

The journey is gentle and slow enough to be able to enjoy the view. Staff were friendly and a return ticket is €7. We enjoyed our visit to Montecatini Alto, there are several small shops and a central square with restaurants, a bar, and Gelato shop. lots of outdoor seating and shade in a medieval village.

If you're in Montecatini then you should visit Montecatini Alto using the Furnicular! This is the mountain Railcar that takes you up to the small town with big views! Trains run every 30mins all day and night (not overnight) and tickets cost €7.50

This was a really nice experience. If your in this region of Italy, then you must try it

Fantastic trip on the cable car and amazing views from up there

We walked from Vernazza to Monterosso. It took about an hour and a half. The first half hour, in particular, is quite tiring and challenging; you're walking uphill. There are beautiful views along the way. There's no way to refill your water bottle along the way, so stock up on water beforehand.

Please take cat food with you - lots if possible!!!!!! There is a cat village and a designated area to leave food so people can feed them over time. It is up to us to feed these homeless cats. Walked this trail today and to my surprise, there was a few homeless cats who are in a small gated area with cat houses and a sign that states something along the lines of “homeless and unloved cats, please feed” …there was no food there and they looked quite skinny. If you are planning to walk this trail, please bring a bag of cat food, maybe some wet cans (not tin, they can cut their tongue on those), water… whatever you can. If I had known this going into the hike, I would’ve brought it. I’m not sure what the deal is with any caretakers for the cats but it would be nice to have a sign or something prior to starting the trail to let people know there are cats along the way, so people can purchase food before going up…. Lots of people were very upset to see the cats there with no food and there’s nothing to do about it at that point… it is mid-trail and nothing around. Otherwise, it is very uphill so be very prepared - but the sights are well worth it!

Pro tip: apparently you need a Cinque Terre pass to enter but everyone was passing through just to check the views and then come back. This is where you'll take the best photo of Vernazza. The start is just on the side of a restaurant, to the left you'll see a narrow street.

3.6 km, about 2h walk. It tooked us 2h15 with a big break at a bar about 1km away from Monterosso, the only one along the way. Lots of steps, but pretty easy to walk with good shoes... And the viens are so worth it !

This is a very strenuous trail with 800 ft of elevation. It was quite difficult with many stairs on both the accent a decent. We’re in our 30s and 40s and it took us about two hours with several stops for photos and the drink water. The terrain is treacherous at times. Make sure you wear the appropriate shoes with tread and waterproofing if possible as it is very muddy in some areas. The views and experience is absolutely worth it though!

Very beautiful hike. WARNING for anyone that wants to do this hike but isn’t a seasoned hiker: start from Vernazza and go towards Monterosso!! I started from Monterosso and it was a LOT of steep stairs & uphill. I read a review from someone on here who talked about having to climb up on all fours… while I didn’t get to that level I DEFINITELY was feeling that review to my core 😂😭 If I were to do it again, I would start from Vernazza. It’s doable both ways, but know that it will be more difficult if you start from Monterosso. The views will be beautiful & the same whichever town you start from. I had to take a lot of breaks, but many people (both old & young) did the same so I didn’t feel too left out. I recommend you do the hike early in the morning or towards late afternoon, that way you can have a little bit of a breeze and it’s not constantly hot. For reference, we did the hike with a lot of breezes and I STILL had my shirt drenched with sweat. If it is rainy, be careful!! Wear appropriate shoes for that. We did it while it was sunny & dry but there were many areas that were slip-potential. Also, you can access the viewpoint of the Vernazza background for picture-taking WITHOUT having to hike. I have included a picture so you know which viewpoint I’m talking about.

Beautiful hike! Definitely lots of stairs, which worked up quite a sweat in the heat. Views were totally worth it. Also, there was a small cat community (with little cat houses) that lives along the hike route close to Vernazza. A sign asks visitors to bring cat food/water because they have no owners. Really sweet cats!

Found this bay on the last morning of our stay in Sestri and had to stop and eat at a little osteria on the beach. It was so lovely and tranquil we ended up staying a lot longer than we had anticipated, but it was well worth it. Definitely worth a visit

(Translated by Google) We bought a trip to Paris for two hoping that everything would go well, everything was perfect until the last day when an asymptomatic positive swab prevented us from returning. Our agency didn't abandon us for a moment, it found us a studio apartment in centre, the flight has been postponed several times, reassured and followed up until your return. I would like to add that Italy prevents you from returning but abandons you there, does not give you instructions on what to do through someone, so we are rightly very worried. heartfelt thanks to our agent Rossano.
