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.

Do you want an amazing view over Bosa? This is the place! When visiting beautiful Bosa, you should go to the castle on top of the hills – I promise you: the view is worth it! There are some steep stairs, so be aware if you have trouble with stairs. The castle itself isn't the most impressive or well-preserved I've seen, but the view makes it all worth it.

Well worth the walk up for the views of Bosa and out to the sea. The castle itself is ok. It is good to climb the tower and walk on top of the walls. Be warned, the steel steps up the tower are very steep and there are multiple. Be careful m, especially on the way down. The fresco in the church is in good condition and worth a quick visit. The entry fee was 5€.

Nice view over the city. The way up is just wonderful through the city with all the colored houses. The lady at the counter doesn’t speak any English, but no problem. Be careful cause there no restroom anywhere near, so keep that in mind and stop to a restaurant/bar before going up. :)

Must visit when visiting Bosa!!! It costs 5€ to enter the impressive castle. It is on top of the hill of Serravalle, be prepared for a long, steep staircase. It offers a spectacular view of the town and surroundings

Go for the spectacular views of Bosa and surroundings. Take it easy, some steep steps. The audio guide from download at ticket desk is worthwhile, although it goes into a lot of depth.

A visit to the castle has to be the highlight of a visit to Bosa. Parts of the castle have crumbled away, but many parts are still intact and you can walk around the ramparts and even climb to the top of the tallest tower if you have the courage to take on the steep steps!!! The views are breathtaking. Entrance costs a laughable €5. This includes entrance into the Chiesa di Nostra Signora de Sos Regnos Altos in the grounds with its frescoes dating back to the 1300s.

Excellent views in all directions from the castle. The church has some ancient frescos. The almond trees within the castle walls provide lovely shade. Toilets out of order.

Huge beach, white sand, very warm water, exactly what you would expect from a Mediterranean beach. Drawback is finding parking - if you get there after 11am, good luck, you might need to wait until later in the afternoon. There was also some seaweed present as you enter the water but this was nothing like the Caribbean, where it can sometimes be far worse.

Wednesday the17th September. A little cloudy day but still good to go to explore this beautiful beach. Easy drive and plenty of parking on a sandy, somewhat rough terrain. But it is free and very close the enter the beach. You have to walk like 25 meters to get onto the beautiful stretch out calm waters. The water is so clear and like slowly descending so ideal for kids to. The swimming area is marked and close by there is a place for some cold and warm drinks. So now and than you see some planes passing through. Little bit further you see the big boats passing. When you leave you can trash your garbage in the several bins and separate it.

Gorgeous beach and an awesome beach bar! Mama beach bar! Loved it!! Just don’t try to walk there from the port! Big mistake but luckily I found a ride! Then took the bus back later:) ha funzionato tutto 🤌

One of the best beaches in Olbia: white sand, crystal-clear water, and parking just 2 minutes from the shore. Just try to avoid peak hours when it gets crowded.

Beautiful beach, clean and not too busy on a weekday. Amenities available but not as good as on some other beaches. This beach has a lovely breeze.

Just come back from a weeks stay here. It is a beautiful island not very touristy at all. The beaches are stunning with clear water brilliant for snorkelling. It is a little gem of a country, so much to explore. We hired a car and went round the north of the island where there are some stunning beaches. Just a couple of points, people don’t speak much English so it is worth learning a bit of Italian before you go. Our apparently universal travel plugs did not work over here so worth checking you have the correct plugs. Car parks are quite expensive by the beaches 2.50 euros an hour. There are very few sun beds on the beaches, most italians bring their own travel chairs. If you do find sunbeds they are 25 euros for 2 for the day. Food is fantastic, but not much meat on the menu. If you like fish and vegetables like I do you will be very happy

Beautiful white sand beach. Not overcrowded in May.

I enjoyed Neptune's Grotto, it's beautiful and ethereal. The boat ride there was lovely and weather was perfect. There are a lot of people in at any given time, so expect some queues and slowness. But it's a little confusing online how to book. If taking the boat, you buy a ticket from the vendor in person, not online. My ticket was €17. But the Grotto has a separate admission which is €14. This caught a few people out on the day. They do take card and cash 🙂

First time being in a cave, cool place to view. Guide tours in both Italian and English, also possible to ask questions in French. Typical tourist attraction but one definitely worth doing when in Alghero.

Overcrowded + horrible organization 😔 The cave was beautiful, the boat ride was pleasant, and the crew was skilled and polite. For these aspects, I would give 10 out of 5 stars. However, the organization at the cave entrance was terrible. About half of our boat was overtaken by a group of around 40 German tourists. When we pointed this out, they laughed at us. When we reported it to the staff at the ticket office and the entrance, they acted as if it wasn’t their problem. The group was let in ahead of us simply because they pushed through. Considering the entrance fee wasn’t cheap, the service was very poor and irresponsible. As a result, I spent the entire cave visit worrying whether we would make it back in time for the boat, and I couldn’t enjoy the tour. I would only recommend this place to people with strong nerves.

The lady at the ticket office was very professional and knowledgeable. The guy at the boat entrance was rude and very unprofessional. Shouting and making hand gestures!! Boats are dated and very crowded, probably over the allowed capacity limit. Try other operators to visit the caves.

Good afternoon, there was one tour at 10, one at 3 pm that day. Nice tour sailors, really helpful. They maybe could give us more details about the region/environment. Really hot on the boat so don’t forget sunscreen and water!!

This is a trip you must do. The Grotte is a wonderful sight to see (price is completely seperate to the boat ride out and my experience is that you are told this) I have seen dolphins on 2 trips out to the Grotte and Steps. The crew on Debora are great. Very welcoming and hospitable. Coffee and refreshments are served on board ☕️

Absolutely dissapointing..arrived at the cave and captain said that weather is not good to park the boat. Did not even reach the entrance to see that. At that moment the waves was 0.6-0.8m. They already told while buying tickets that if weather is not good they will just swim around with the boat (like they knew that it will happen from the beginning).

Excellent beach, clean water, can be very crowded between 10 and 4 this time of uear but still lovely! If you walk until the very end, less people and more space.

Beautiful beach. It is wide and long enough for plenty of people to use. There are also trees in the beginning which provide sufficient shade.

I'm not sure where Maria Pia ends and Fertilia beach starts, but the closer you get to Fertilia, the beach becomes calmer and the parking - free (the part with the palm trees by the road, not with the pines). Unfortunately the free beach areas are not clean from algae, as everywhere in Sardinia.

One of our favourite beaches in the region! The sand is really fine, the beach itself and the water are clean. There are few beach bars and plenty of space for your own umbrella. ☀️🌊⛱️ You can use the public transport to come to the beach from Alghero. 🚌

Beautiful beach with free areas. The water is crystal clear and gradually deepens, and the shore is covered with soft sand. Even on the weekend, it wasn’t too crowded.

Very nice, long and sandy beach with pine trees 👍🏻

This was a beautiful beach with clear, greenish blue water. The water gets deeper very gradually and the waves are gentle. There are some rocks for decent snorkeling on one side of the beach. There was a fenced parking lot across the street where we paid 10 Euros for all day. There was a row of parking spaces in front of the beach, but I’m not sure if they were free. Many parked along the road. There is a beach bar with nice drinks. There is a toilet behind it. Also, there are a small number of sunbeds you can rent.

Interesting quick visit. Super cute to see pipistrelli bats. They lend you a torch. €3 entrance. Not a lot to see immediately but you could hike from here I guess

A well conserved and interesting place. The place is being managed by archeologists and they are doing a good job. Tickets are 3,50 per person, or 5 with audio.

Really nice Nuraghe, takes some minutes to walk to from parking lott. Just before the site there is a restaurant. The excavation site was informative. We got a flashlight to see mini bats in one of the rooms in the Nuraghe. Very friendly staff. Recomended

Very cool site depicting the ancient history of Sardinia and it's inhabitants. Well preserved and complete, well documented and easy to find. The caretaker is very knowledgeable and speaks English. Admission for children is free and adults are only €3 each.

Beautifully conserved nuraghe in a lovely forest setting with really interesting video information that’s well worth paying the extra 1.5 euro for. Bonus baby bats 🦇😊Also, really nice and exceptionally clean toilets 😆

Amazing how people could make such a building so long ago,well preserved. Compliments for the staff and the ambiance of the place. There were even cosy and clean toilets.

Very interesting archeological site. Beautiful view from the upper floor, you can see Tempio and the mountains. The owner is a very sweet lady and knows a great amount of the place.

The beach itself is beautiful. The water is clear. But it is definitely overcrowded - the shore is long, but tight and the people are getting too close to each other, because of lack of space. If you want to go there, make sure you are there early enough, so you can find a good place for your umbrella. We got there with a bus from Alghero (9321 I think for 2.50 euro for one direction).

Our absolute favorite in northwest Sardinia. Clear shallow water, lots of fish, pine forest just behind the beach. Nice soft sand, only a few meters of pebbles when entering the sea. Free parking in September (paid in high season, I believe). The organized area is packed, but the free zones are good enough. You could also put your towel under the trees.

This is one of the best beaches in Alghero province. There is parking lot and bit a walking distance to beach, like 5 mins but then you will be surrounded by big trees 🌲 and nature while baking in the sun on the white sand beach. You can rent ⛱️🛏️ for 24 Euro: 2 beds and 1 umbrellas, which is a good price and also you can layout your own. There are plenty of bars for drinks and restaurants to eat really tasty food. I recommend to make a reservation and eat at La Niefe, it has nice natural shadow from the big trees while you have a sea view. Variety of wine and food is not that big but everything was delicious 😋

One of the longest beach in Alghero area, with pine forest where to get some shade. You have access to lots of bars and restaurants, a parking with decent fee.

Very good clear crystal and icy water. Free parking under the trees for motorcycle. Also many places under the trees to sit.

Great beach, much calmer and quieter than others in the area. If you want to get a sunbed and umbrella, you have to go early because they are few. The restaurant is very nice. Parking is convenient and close to the beach. The bay is incredibly beautiful and the water is crystal clear. I recommend it.

Wonderful long narrow beach fringed with pine trees and views across the bay. Really pretty ans feels wild still. We parked under a shady tree in the free car park on the left side as you enter off the road. Beach clubs and restaurants are scattered across the beach mostly to the right side. It's minutes from the airport so was our first stop when we arrived!

"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.

Could be our favorite beach in all of Sardinia! Very small but easily accessible by boat and swimming in, incredible photo opps!

One of Sardinia’s protected beach. Only 60 people allowed per day. No boats, no shortcuts—just one hour of rocky descent (and a bit of rope-aided scrambles). We went with an official guide on a group hike. It’s not a stroll in the park. It’s a hike that earns its reward. And when you finally jump into that crystal-clear Sardinian water, every drop feels like nature’s applause. Was it worth the climb, the sweat, the steep descent? Absolutely. Would I do it again? Also yes. Coticcio is a marvel. Some places aren’t just beautiful—they’re worth earning. The list of official guides can be found in the official park website, most of which can be contacted via WhatsApp. We went on the afternoon session, which means climbing back up with the sun not in front of our face, makes it easier.

Really beautiful beach, but a tough trip to get there. We were quite unprepared as there wasn't much information, so I'll share some here. The entire hike is in the sun, so bring enough water! We were sweating like crazy and there is a lot of climbing and descending. There are some tough spots where you will have to descend sitting, so make sure you have your hands free and aren't heavy loaded. You should wear sneakers of some sort, because there is someone checking if you do at the beginning of the trial. She won't allow you to do the trial if you wear flip flops, and with good reason. The beach consists of two beautiful little beaches divided by rocks and the water is delightful to swim in after the hike. As the lady said, the trial is recommended for experienced hikers, and they will take about 45 min to go to the beach and another 45 to return.

Sardintrek (Park guide) Park regulations: Access is only permitted when accompanied by an authorized guide. Access requests must be made at least 7 days in advance. There are 4 shifts of 5 hours each, two in the morning and two in the evening. Online payment of a €3 ticket is required. A natural pool, an aquarium ideal for snorkeling, fantastic water, and two heavenly beaches

Crystal clear water 💦 you can go only my a guide hiking

Heaven in earth 🌏 , nice clear water with fish around you one of the best places

YOU CANNOT ACCESS THIS PLACE. Is limited to 60 people per day through a guide. You cannot show up and hike over, they have staff to stop you.

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

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.

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

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

We had a lovely stay in Bonifacio, Federica is a lovely host, giving us a warm welcome and lots of tips! Very helpful, the space is comfortable and has everything one needs. There's also an amazing view of the cliffs and Sardinia! Bonifacio is a beautiful town and there are several unspoiled beaches that can be reached by private car.

Bonifacio and also the whole south of Corsica are to be seen and experienced in every way. We chose the right place to do it because our holiday in the apartment "Faro di Capo Testa" in the fantastic Bonifacio was just as we wished.

Although the streets are always full of days and nights, the apartment is very quiet and we really got a good rest each day. A small balcony, overlooking a small square, invites you to have an aperitif in the open air watching the people passing by and admiring the white cliffs located exactly in front of the apartment. The landscape from this point is simply breathtaking and one the best of the town. The cleanliness of the apartment deserves a good 10.

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!!!

This beach comes highly recommended by many, but in my opinion, it is somewhat overrated. When we arrived, the beach was in the condition shown in the photos – more than half of it was unfortunately covered in seaweed. However, there were parts of the beach where this didn't detract from its beauty, allowing us to fully appreciate its charm. The water was excellent, providing a refreshing experience, and the sand was pleasantly soft underfoot. One of the biggest downsides of this beach is the road leading to it. The drive takes about 10 minutes over a very bumpy road. However, I think some of the other reviews exaggerate the difficulty of the journey. While you don't need a special vehicle, as many suggest, it is true that you need to be cautious, especially with a low-clearance car. We saw all kinds of vehicles in the parking lot at the end, including some low-set cars. It just requires careful driving to avoid scraping the bottom of your car. If your vehicle has decent ground clearance and isn't too low, you should manage just fine. The real question is whether the beach is worth the effort. Lastly, there's the neighboring beach, Plage de Erbaju, which is much larger and visible on the map. It’s said that you can walk to it from this beach, but we didn’t find any clearly marked paths. The paths through the bushes near the parking area were very overgrown, and while it might be possible to make the trek, it would likely be challenging, especially if you're carrying items or have children with you. We contacted the exclusive restaurant on that beach, and they informed us that it is a private beach, only accessible by reservation and without children. So, perhaps if you walk there, you might be able to enjoy the beach, but unfortunately, we weren’t able to.

Be careful, you need to take a gravel road to go next to this beautiful beach. Alternatively one can park the car in the main street and walk to the beach for about 30 minutes. The water is crystal clear. A true beautiful beach. There's nothing around, don't forget to bring your own drinks and food.

The beach itself is nice but can be overcrowded (23 of July), the water was more refreshing than on other beaches. The road to the beach is overestimated in terms of difficulty, we did it on VW Touran without any issues - just cautious and attentive drive and some experience of driving on unpaved terrain.

The best beach of the entire Corsica, amazing is a big pool thin sand very light color and water calm and warmer

Had no issue driving on the road in my Ford Fiesta. The beach was stunning and crystal clear. Keep in mind that the sand is very fine and in case of wind it is a bit annoying because the sand becomes airborne.

The beach is indeed amazing, it was crowded when we arrived and wow, if you’re in a car with a chassis low to the ground and more than 2 travelers GOOD LUCK driving down from the main road T40. We were 2 in a standard vehicle but we followed a long line of cars with passengers that had to get out of the car at every “bump”. I’m amazed that roads like this even exist without a warning sign but they in fact do so know before you go, the voyage down and back up IS A SAFARI, you’re best off in an SUV or a 4x4. The people who choose to walk down from the main parking lot have a 30-45 minute hike dodging cars that are making their way up and down. It’s definitely not the most ideal way to end a day at the beach. That being said, amazing views, nicer voyage for those traveling by yacht or catamaran I imagine 😉

This is a really beautiful beach. It’s not the biggest and you can only reach it down a terrible potholed track but it’s perfect if you like undeveloped beaches. Soft white sand and a crystal clear turquoise sea with small waves. There are several places to park. Some better than others. It’s very busy during the July and August period but it’s more peaceful in the off peak months. And of course there is the Roccapina lion rock overlooking the bay.

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.

Absolutely loved it! I hadn't spend that much time in a museum. They displayed several objects, machinery and tools used in the Corsican daily life of the last century. The history of the beautiful Cittadella is well explained and it's accessible only through the museum.

This informative and enjoyable ethnographical museum showcased the life of the Corsican people. The audio-guide in multiple languages was a great addition, enhancing the experience. The comfortable environment, with good air and AC, made it a pleasant visit. The polite and friendly staff further contributed to the positive atmosphere. The ticket price of 5.5 euros per adult was reasonable. The museum also delved into the lives of women on the island, providing valuable educational insights. Included in the ticket was the opportunity to explore the citadel, adding to the overall experience. Overall, it was great and recommended visit. 😊

It is a nice museum founded in old fortress, but there is one problem. All in french, There is a lot to see of old Corsican Life, how they lived centuries ago. And the ticket was only 3€ so that is a plus. From museum you can follow the path to the old castle.

The museum itself may not be quite interesting but it is the way to go to citadel which has magnificent views. Best to take train from Corte railway station. Park your car for free there. Museum will be half price (2.5 euros per person) with train tickets (7.5 euros per person)

I would not go to Corte just for this museum but if you are here for other reasons, the cheap ticket definitely makes it worth a short visit. I found at least three very very interesting items in the museum and a tour of the fortress is rather enjoyable. (5 euro)

Interesting museum. I was hoping for more focus on the history of Corsica but the other exhibitions were interesting as well. Not much in English.

Very fun museum, it shares a lot of the history here in the fortress and also about Corsica it self. It shares info on how they lived. Also nice to go inside to cool down a bit. To get down to the nitty griddy , fun museum to visit.

Makes for a beautiful, and interesting drive. The roads are very narrow in places and many of the passing points get filled with other road users opportunistically using them as parking so they can get photos of the views, which means you need to be careful of people on the road as well. We ended up driving through in both directions at about 6pm. The roads weren't too busy and worth it for the views. We then parked at the tête de chien (small roadside parking on both sides of the road, space for 10-15 cars in total.) The walk from there is very pleasant and marked with yellow spray paint at key turning points. If you are confident and careful enough, there are some very impressive views to be had by taking a few steps off the track and pushing through the shrubs at certain places.

Its a beautiful, astonishing road along the west coast of Corsica but be ready for a very patience and careful drive! There could be goats&cows on tje road as well as very vwry narrow road above the coast. Be careful.

Spectacular rocks with the street moving in between. Parc the car on the side of the road and take a little walk along the street. Pay attention to driving cars.

A must see when youre visiting Corsica, breathtaking sculptrual rock formations cascading above the sea.

Beautiful drive from Piana to Porto through the Calanques de Piana. Outstanding views.

Quite nice location, small curvy roads, we passed by on our way to the south east of Corsica in September outside the saison but still a lot of traffic, especially the camper vans .Landscape and ambience is beautiful, traffic is annoying

Awesome eroded red rock formations, many looking ready to break loose! Beautiful views with sheer drops to the sea. Grab any and all small parking spots then walk usually less than 100m to get best views. Drive careful on the many blind corners!

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.

We went to Plage Saleccia after seeing Bodri Beach, and this one is also lovely with soft white sand and very clear water. It was a bit busier though, with more boats, yachts and people around, so it didn’t feel quite as calm. It calmed down in the late afternoon as people were starting to take the return boats. We got there by boat, which was nice. Just a small tip: book early enough, and if you use GetYourGuide it’s worth checking with the operator directly to make sure your ticket is in order.

Just an amazing beach! The sand is superb, the water is azure, and the wind is calm. However, you can't really get there easily: the "road" is 6 euro and if you don't have a tall 4x4 it's better not to go there. On the beach there's no toilet or change room, so be ready to share some of your secrets. It's not a lot of people, though.

Much better than the Lotu beach for sure. Nicer to swim and enjoy the beach with less people. The trip back with zodiac was also a nice occasion, for which it's kind of a must for the return.

Fantastic beach. I like the way to get there. There is no road. But with a motorcycle or a 4x4 car you can get there. The beach is very clean. The sand is fine but not more fine than on the other side like at Bastia. You can be shure that everyone on this beach has made a special effort to come here. There are sometime cows on thr beach. The cows like to play with some visitors. This plage is one of the most difficult to get there.

Nice beach, but nothing ‘special’, loads of nice beaches in Corsica that do not require an hour off-road driving (10 kms) to get too! A nice sandy long beach, but the snorkeling was disappointing. Maybe a visit by boat would be the best option.

This beach is extraordinary special and located very nice. The scenery is just great. Clear water and white sand makes you feel like in the Caribbean. During the main season it's often crowded, but still worth a visit. You can go by 4 wheel drive from Casta or by boat from St. Florent. Or by your own car, and without 4 wheel drive it will take some hours to do down the earth road. Close to the beach there's the famous camping site and on the other end of the beach a very nice beach restaurant hidden in the pines. Definitely with a visit.

One of Corsica’s finest beaches—and worth every bit of effort to reach it. Getting there isn’t easy, but it is doable with a standard rental (we managed in an Opel Corsa). Allow roughly 45 minutes for the drive; the road is bumpy, rocky, unpaved in most places, and requires slow, careful navigation but the standard ride height is enough for this road (full cover recommended tho) Your reward? Sweeping turquoise water, powder-soft sand, and the unforgettable sight of white cows lazing right on the shoreline. A small beach bar serves snacks and cold drinks; card payments are accepted for purchases over €20. Tip: start early to avoid the midday rush, and keep an eye on your fuel—there are no services along the final stretch. Enjoy the adventure and the view!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at La Villa Calvi. Our room was excellent; the views from the hotel in general were wonderful; the service was excellent, and the food was top-notch! Had dinner there were some problems with wasps the management very kindly supplied us with electric flyswatters which did the job!!!

The most beautiful hotel - the view from breakfast was the best viewpoint of our trip in Corsica. Everything was perfect.

We spent a week at La villa Calvi and it was a pure happiness. The staff is super nice and make sure you are getting everything you need. The breakfast is amazing ! We loved every single things of this hotel and will come back !

La Villa is a contradiction , it is a five star hotel but many facets of its service are distinctly lacking . Firstly the positives - excellent location - clean and airy and modern - good spacious bright clean rooms , the house keeping staff are excellent, friendly, enthusiastic and professional - food is good , albeit I have had much better elsewhere. - the young lady running the restaurant was excellent - very professional and friendly. - the drivers were excellent- particularly Euan The disappointments - despite being a resident we were unable to book a table despite being flexible on time - the wine waiter needs retraining !! He pushed for our wine order even though we hadn’t ordered / decided on our food ! He made no attempt to be helpful , he overfilled the glasses , he even wanted to poor a second different wine into the same glasses we were frankly appalled and he argued the point. He was rude and arrogant . - the room service menu for children lacked imagination . It was also Problematic that hot food was not available until after 7.30pm ( the food actually arrived at 8.50 pm). - a meal served to one of our friends had paper in it !! The waitress apologised , but for a 5 star rating I would have expected the owner / manager / chef to come out and apologise- indeed the chef did come out and came over to us but then proceeded to talk to two people on the next table for 15 minutes with his back to us - a opportunity lost! - my wife and my daughter were at the beach but the hotel refused to come and collect them ( having done so 2 days earlier ) - the person was unhelpful , didn’t offer to organise a taxi or make any suggestions This hotel did not live up to its 5 star rating , please improve the consistency of your service level - attention to detail and training are core requirements.

We visited Calvi, some of us coming from Asia, some from Paris, and were looking forward to a dinner at La Villa. Not only was it very difficult to book a table, in spite of the restaurant being half empty when we eventually visited last May, but the experience was very disappointing. No welcome at the hotel entrance, very slow service -a nice lady seemed to be alone dealing with several tables- nothing of what’s expected from a 5 star hotel restaurant at this price. The sommelier was most unpleasant: arrogant, rude, not interested to explain local wines, only focused on filling and re-filling our glasses to the max -spilling wine on the table right from the beginning- even before any bread or other food had been brought to the table. I wonder if the experience can even get worse during high season when the hotel is busier. It’s a shame to offer such a poor experience at this price in a beautiful location.

This is a lovely peaceful hotel, with a magnificent view of Calvi. Very friendly and helpful staff with large well appointed rooms. The grounds and pool are well presented and it is in walking distance of the centre of Calvi, although it is uphill on the way back. Although they could lose the rubber ducks in the pool in front of the restaurant! (Some smart designers idea of being funny)

Nice hotel, room and view. However seriously let down by a few points: 1) food choice extremely limited 2) transfer from airport not organised properly; 3) air con in gym very weak; 4) shuttle car not at level expected; 5) staff -some lovely and some very unhelpful; 6) beach utterly dreadful. Overall much to like but could be so much better with attention to a few areas. Also not in the slightest kid friendly with very small pool and surrounding area.

Nice for an afternoon visit. Little streets with cafes and wine bars plus some nice views.

Giant bastion, when you aproach those walls from land it is like OMG. Inside is a small town with a church of John the Baptist. If you are lucky to get a parking place bellow the walls, otherwise park before the marine and have a nice walk through turist streets. Once inside encircle the walls and enjoy the view.

Lovely place to visit, just be prepared for alot of steps and steep gradients but the view is worth it.

Beautiful citadelle, great spots for sunset drinks, and a few very nice places to eat. Plenty more on the lower town too.

Wonderful ancient surroundings and winding streets, fantastic view over the citt

Not as lively or well maintained as Bonifacio but still worth walking the whole place

Worthwhile visit strolling through the ancient streets of the citadelle

Visited end of July. Perhaps there was a water restriction as the gardens seemed dry. Places needed trimming or at least tidied up. A bit run down. Paths and stairs need renovating. A few areas/paths closed. I would love to visit again when not so dry and renovations finished. Free parking limited to the street. Lovely view of the sea.

What an incredibly beautiful property. This garden is absolutely worth a visit. It's best to allocate at least 1hr to visit and discover the beauty of this garden! Parking options are a bit limited and visitors need to park alongside the main road.

I love botanical gardens and try to visit at least a new one each vacation. The location of Hanbury botanical gardens is very special, with great views of the Mediterranean sea, and have interesting features, in terms of the antique buildings, plants and decorations (statues, etc) but imo it really needs more care! We visited in August, which I understand is a hot and dry month, but in comparison to other botanical gardens -in the same region- also visited in summer, this one could really gain with more irrigation, plant care, and some details as more labeling of the plants species and some additional informative data (origin, uses, etc) Hope this comment is taken into consideration for improvement.

Would not have missed this botanical gardens. We've spend approximately 3 hours here. The garden is beautiful even at early September. It is true that some parts need some maintenance, but it also gives some extra charm to it. Imagine the potential! A big plus is the silence, especially since the rest of Cote d'Azur is such a busy and extravert environment. Highly appreciated!

Just a fantastic garden and setting. Put aside a few hours for a walk around the garden. Numerous viewpoints and benches to sit and soak up the plants, cactus and trees. Even a cafe!

Very impressive and beautiful. Unfortunately some parts were closed due to storm damage. But still it was a walk of wonder and delight to see all this exotic flora and spectacular views! Take notice there is no dedicated parking lot so be prepared to park your car along the street, hopefully not too far off.

Huge garden, expect some uphill walking. The view is spectacular.An interesting place but a bit run down.
