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.

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.

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

"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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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. The apartment is a tastefully decorated jewel in an extraordinary location in the old downtown of Bonifacio and very well located to reach the key points, restaurants and shops of the town. 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.

(Translated by Google) Dear Federica, thank you very much for the precious advice and the splendid stay... the structure is truly excellent: fantastic location, furnished with excellent taste and with everything you need for a very comfortable holiday! Enchanting place Bonifacio, where time seems to have stopped. We will regret no longer being able to look out in the morning looking at the sea while the city sleeps. Á bientôt!

We were warmly welcomed by the host Federica, who gave us all the useful information regarding the available facilities: wifi, washing machine, dishwasher, TV, air conditioning, etc. The apartment, located in the most beautiful town in Corsica for us, is equipped with everything. It has excellent air conditioning and the authentic French shutters protect well from the sun. The location in the upper town of Bonifacio is sublime with views of the chalk cliffs, terraces, restaurants, authentic gems galore. Next to the apartment is the Bastion along which a beautiful promenade leads to the port. Fortunately, to go up you can use the tourist train, which was easy for us. We had a great week in Bonifacio and Federica will definitely see us again!!

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!!!

Would definitely recommend stopping in here for a dive way back into prehistory. It's a beautiful place, interesting old ruins, and a nice hike too!

Beautiful, but partly not authentic. A stunning site, very impressive and larger than we were expecting. Some of the menhirs (including the most impressive ones) outside are replicas though. This wouldn't be a problem: it is great these monuments are protected against the elements. But it is mentioned nowhere on the signs or in the audio tour. The real ones are found inside, in the museum. They should be clear and honest about this. Entry is 9 euros. This is very reasonable in our opinion, since the site is very large, there is a museum and conserving these monuments is not free.

way better than I expected. stopped in here on our way from Ajaccio to Bonaficcio. lovely little cafe on site, nice shop, very friendly service from staff in restaurant, ticket sales and shop. was lovely to walk around the site, see the olive tree and marvel at the history. 9 euro per adult, they don't take credit cards, but you can pay at the restaurant next door

Parc with ancient Filitosa statues spread over a few hectares. There is at the entrance a modern building with interesting historical artifacts and a shop. The entrance fee was rather high for what is there to see, on the other hand it’s a quite unique site which should be seen.

Great place to visit, is really interesting and plenty to read. You can explore and take your time. The access is not complicated and you have parking and a little brasserie on the side to eat. I was impressed for the olive tree! The path is fairly well indicated however it could be improved a bit. The museum at the end is plenty of historic information.

Nice archeological center, as it presents the history of Corsica. (The museum at the end d plains nicely). The site itself is a bit too basic, lacking an explanation (unless you purchase the guide which we didn't do as we already spent 9€ eaxh, for the entrance) that could have been included (the qr code give you access ti only very little and poorly translated information)

Absolutely beautiful! I enjoyed every moment of the visit! I met wonderful people who feel responsible to save and share the ancient history and site. Walking there is simply so peaceful that I hardly wanted to leave while I learnt about history and the dedication of the family owning the site.

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.

Worth the walk out from ile rousse for amazing views

I suggest to visit this place at the sunset (8pm) because is stunning. Lovely easy walk around 15min on the road by the sea with amazing views. It is a really must see!

Amazing panisland with great views on the town and the sea. Crystal-clear turquoise water and red rocks. Its well worth the short walk up. There is also a rock tower to see.

For me so far the nicest location on whole Corsica. Beautiful colors. The yellow rock with dark blue and turquoise water. Extremely nice and relaxing.

A very interesting panoramic point with beautiful views

Beautiful sunset. Place on the rock behind the lighthouse - and must to visit!

View worth the 20 minutes walk up under the sun

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!

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.

Must visit when on Elba, cabin for 2 people up and down for 40 euro, worth every cent!

The Bar at the top is not working, they should change the working times. The toilets at the top were also closed. Everything else was OK.

Go to the top and get high!

Beautiful. No further comments needed!

Very nice and fairly easy mountain walk up to Monte Capanne. Start at the cable car on route 1. If you are used to Alpine mountain walking, the trip takes about 1.5-2 hours. You will see beautiful nature and great views throughout the walk. It is very empty as 99.9% of people take the cable car. The top of Monte Capanne is very busy and completely built up with telecom and TV antennas. Hence, enjoy your walk up.

Hiking the Monte Capanne was great fun, especially since the way 101 up is very easy to follow and pretty beautiful as well. The view from the top across the island and beyond is amazing! Thanks to the nice lady of the little café, she was very sweet. We went down by foot too, it's a nice 1-day-tour (2,5 hours to the top, 2 hours having a break + lunch there, 1.5 hours back..more or less.)

The view from the highste point on Elba is amazing. You can see all the island around and the beautiful island Elba with all his colors

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.

(Translated by Google) I am a Livornese who today went to the white beaches of Vada and had to pay 7 euros for parking for 25 minutes. I arrived not knowing about the swimming ban and obviously there was no sign at the entrance to the car park. I park the car 150 meters or more away given the huge crowding, I arrive at the beach entrance and read "bathing ban", I go back to the car, wait in line to go out and pay. 25 minutes cost me 7 euros. Now I'm not surprised that private individuals do these things here but I'm stupid that the municipality allows it. How do you put up a sign 200 meters from the car park and then the time to get the car back costs me 7 euros? Not only is he a mean figure but also very bad publicity for tourists too! Truly a shame!

Ora io non sono stupita che dei privati facciano queste cose qua ma sono stupida che il comune lo permetta.

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.

If you buy tickets in advance, entry is easy. When we were there it was a rainy day, and it was extremely busy. The aquarium is… nice. At best. Not necessarily worth a trip around. My kid liked the reptile space on the first floor the most.

Was a bit skeptic because of the ratings. I think it was very interesting, the tanks were clean, there were lots of different species, and the ants on the first floor were something I have never seen before. Maybe a bit expensive compared to its size but it was worth for us.

Went yesterday with my wife during our trip. We saw an ad for it and was sold. And what a great experience it was. I truelly never witnessed a sea turtle up this close, let alone see it swim. The place is great and its a nice entertainment to go during a holiday

Visited the aquarium — honestly, a complete waste of time and money. Tickets cost €15, and for that price, you’d expect at least something engaging. But the place is boring, and has very few animals. The only interesting part was taking a photo — and that says a lot. From what was actually interesting: a few fish, two big turtles, and three small sharks. That’s it. If you just want to look at water, some gloves, and a few random fish, you don’t need to pay €15 — all of that is available for free in the sea right next door.

We had lots of fun here. We have been twice now and loved it both times. First time we went was middle of the week and found it wasn't too busy we could get a sunbed and lockbox very easily with plenty of spare beds around us. The second time we went was very busy and couldn't get a sunbed even with getting to the park within 30 minutes of it opening but we still had the best time. Found a lockbox free in the sun. So we could still have a picnic in the sun and sunbath in between rides! Very clean and friendly staff all around. I would recommend you book a sunbed online before hand if you are wanting one!!

The exhibits were captivating, showcasing a diverse range of marine life. The facility was well-maintained, and the informative displays added to the visit's value. A must-see for marine enthusiasts visiting Livorno!

Small but we spent a good 1.5 hours there with the kids on a rainy day. Enjoyed it more than expected.
