Lovely beach but crowded nearer the bar/kiosk. Don't hesitate to walk after the windsurf zone. Water is clear and ideal for children. Kiosk serves hot food, drinks etc... Parking €1,50 / hour

Great beach, spent a few days here during my time in the area. Beach bar is great to have access too. You can rent windsurfs, sunbeds and paddle boards. Some great boats also come in and out which is great to watch.

💰‼️ umbrellas for rent €50/€60 The most beautiful beach close to Palau, just 20 minutes by foot, or less of 10 minutes by car. Taxi from Palau Port €10. Crystal water and soft small waves. Little bar with fair prices for eat and drink.

Lovely beach. Thick sand gives a great massage to the feet when walking. Extremely clean. Very few people in the second half of sept. There is an excellent windsurfing rental n school run by Claudio.

Palau panoramic view

Nice beach, it was almost empty when we went there early afternoon.

Great sand - solid grain, not to sticky, good colour.

The most beautiful military fortress in Europe, so defined since its construction, it really is a sight to see. This 19th-century bastion was built to help defend the north coast and archipelago di La Maddalena from invasion – something it was never called on to do. It.s easy to get to - 3 km out of Palau and the 45 minute tour will teach you a lot of interesting things about the history of Europe, not only Sardinia. Totally wotth it. And the views are amazing, you can see even Corsica.

Very nice fortress from 1890, never bombed. There are no artifacts to show, but it s still worth the visit. The guided tour is great, the view fantastic. you can visit only with guided tour starting every .15. You can buy the ticket online or in the ticket office.

Alessandro gave us a wonderful tour of this amazing fort. The history is fascinating, especially the method of protecting the munitions below ground and transporting the artillery up the large ramp. Alessandro is full of other interesting local knowledge such as the numerous dialects spoken in the area, the geological mechanisms causing the small caverns and holes in the pink granite. Overall a visit well worth the effort.

The fortress looks unique with it's big ramp. Also it's wonderfully preserved. We arrived at around 10 am on Sunday. The staff arrived almost the same time as us. He told us that they had a tour which started at 10:15 in both English and Italian and it was included in the ticket of 5 euro. The tour was good. The guide explained everything interestingly. I told him that on another tour, I heard Napoleon attacked the islands, however they didn't go in much detail. Therefore he explained the battle very thoroughly. It was very interesting, because this was the cause for this fortress to be build.

A very well conserved place with beautiful view of the all bay. The guide was very nice and the cost just 5€

The final stop was a nineteenth century artillery fort, built on a hilltop overlooking the port of Palau. We parked in the large car park and went to the ticket office which was closed. The next tour was in 30 minutes so we had a wander around the hillside and enjoyed the views, rock formations and wild poppies. 30 minutes came and went and still no staff so after an hour we walked up to the fort and spoke to the guide who said she'd next do another tour in 45 minutes time. We didn't want to wait that long so drove on to Olbia, rather frustrated as we could have visited somewhere else and it was a 2.5 hour round trip wasted.

Absolute gem of a visit. Phillip, our guide spoke in English, German and Italian to meet the needs of our varied group. So grateful to get a taste of local history and information from this visit! Worth every penny!

Nice hotel, it’s a 3 star hotel. Breakfast was ok, feedback is to put something to protect the cheeses and hams because there were bees and flies on those goods. Nice infrastructure, air conditioner, very close to a beautiful beach, cleaning service daily and great.

Terrible, if you are a family, AVOID! They wanted to charge more than in their confirmation email saying they made an internal mistake, yet if you don't pay they do not give bedsheets to your kids...

We loved this place and had an amazing vacation! The location is great, a lot of greenery and flowers with a wonderful view of the bay. The food was very good considering it is a 3 star hotel, with a lot of options. And then the service and the animation team, they are simply amazing! We will defenitely return. Grazie!

We stayed at the residence the last week of September and tick all the boxes for us! Great sandy beach, spacious gardens, lots of green, kids area (for our 1.5 years old daughter!) overlooking the beach, vast choice of rooms and apartments in small villas (no tower blocks!) and friendly staff. Our one bedroom apartment was basic but had everything that we need, the beds were comfortable. There is also a bar and restaurant, we didn't use it this time as we were self-catering but the bar yes, they have a good selection of sandwiches. Wifi was avaible in the public area but some days I also had it in our apartment. It's my 2nd time here at this residence and didn't disappoint at all, will be back again soon! Thanks again to the staff, in particular the lady with short silver hair, my daughter S loved you!

Nice location with rooms like bungalows. If you’re lucky you’ll get one on a small hill with great view on the bay. Unfortunately, the whole complex is not renovated and the ‘80s style is still going strong - you have a feeling you were transported back in time sometimes. The staff was nice and friendly but the service of the food was terrible. Both breakfast and dinner are not meeting any standards at all - narrow choice, cheap ingredients and preprepared food in bulk are a recipe for disaster. With minimum ambition of the management the place can become a gem!

Gorgeous view from our apartment. I can’t understand the people who have concerns regarding this hotel considering the very good price and location ( they probably complain everywhere they go). We will definitely return to this place. Very polite staff, very nice beach, good food etc etc

AVOID! Worst place on Costa Smeralda. I Do not recommend to anyone. The Management, the owner and the staff at the restaurant were impolite and even rude. Our car was damaged (scratched) on the parking lot of the hotel but the hotel management completely did not care about it. It is an old resort which has not been renovated for many years, swimming pool was dirty, food was poor, apartment was small and non functional (very small kitchenette). Avoid staying at this place!

BE CAREFULL with your car – we were robbed. The beach itself was absolutely beautiful, the day there was wonderful. But when we came back to the car, our holiday was basically over: two suitcases with belongings worth at least €5,000 were stolen in broad daylight. We just didn’t think something like this could happen during the day – we were in holiday mode and didn’t consider the risk. Pretty naïve from our side, and that’s exactly why I’m writing this review: in the hope that others will be spared the same experience. Please be careful and never leave anything in your car.

It was a great, unique small bay surrounded by huge spectacular rocks. It is not easy to find a comfortable place, but therefore it is not crowded at all. Higly recommend to spend some time. Public parking seemed to be free:)

The road goes through bushes and over some rocks, but it is not very difficult. Possible even in flip-flops. Beach is not so much for swimming because it has lots of rocks, but it is beautiful and definitely worth visiting.

Beautiful beach enclosed with rock formations, 10-15 minutes walk from the roundabout at the end of the road via tiny path through the bushes and rocks, but very worth it! Quite private before 8-8.30 am, around 9 am people start arriving. Parking could be a challenge if you come late, there is no parking lot, only on the side of the road. Hiking shoes or sneakers certainly a preference over flip flops. Early morning feels very intimate, having this wild pearl all to yourself.

Lovely beach. You do need to traverse a winding small path with thorny bushes for about 20 minutes. Bring sneakers. Snorkeling was also good with clear water and plenty of fish around

For me the most beautiful beach in this area, not crowded, and it has a lot of different fish. You need to walk about 10-15 minutes, but worth it.

Great location, even for movies, surrounded by rocks with great colors. You can really smell Sardinia!

Small but one of the best preserved.

Don’t go!!! Ticket prices way too much! But the worst is the staff which is EXTREMELY unfriendly. We didn‘t know which Part we needed a ticket for. The women working there ran outside to yell at us that we needed a ticket for everything. When we Said we didn‘t know, she answered „Then you can‘t go“ and left. I thought it was her Job to inform and Sell us Tickets, but she didn‘t care.

The tomb is not impressive at all, just some very old rock ruins. However, the nuraghi village is incredible, dated 15 century BC feels pretty amazing it's still there. Take a moment to get into the minds of the ancient people.

Just some piles of stones Nothing to see here

It's nice to see such an old Naurage site, but make sure they tell you where to go when you pay for the tickets and get the leaflet. Also tell them if you have children, they are discounted.

Honestly, not much to see. If you're a big fan of this stuff OK, otherwise don't bother. The shop is better than the visit and in spite of walking 500m before getting anywhere, the shop takes longer than the visit too

Totally worth a visit if you want to know more about the nuragic civilization. Gentle, prepared and helpful staff.

A bit disappointing. Basically, you get to visit only a big refurbished barrack, which however is bereft of furniture. Only the walls, frames and shell were object of restoration, but, apart from that, there is little to see. So it is a totally different experience with respect to other visitable military installations in the area (i.e. Monte Altura, Garibaldi Memorial, etc.), where you get to see ramparts, bulwarks and forts. I would not recommend going here.

Interesting and worth the visit

(Translated by Google) A beautiful experience with a breathtaking view. Led by an FAI representative, we took a 20-minute hike, which is also doable with children, but requires closed, comfortable shoes. The visit is very interesting, and I highly recommend it. (Original) Esperienza bellissima con un panorama mozzafiato. Guidati da una rappresentante del fai abbiamo petvorso un trekking di 20 minuti fattibile anche con i bambini ma che necessita di scarpe chiuse e comode. La visita è molto interessante ve la consiglio.

(Translated by Google) Absolutely not to be missed. We took part in the trek organized by the FAI in the late afternoon and spent four fantastic hours. I warmly thank Riccardo, the guide who accompanied us, for telling us so many things about the military battery and all the natural beauties we encountered on the way to it. (Original) Da non perdere assolutamente. Abbiamo partecipato al trekking organizzato dal FAI nel tardo pomeriggio e abbiamo passato quattro ore fantastiche. Ringrazio calorosamente Riccardo, la guida che ci ha accompagnato, per averci raccontato tante cose sulla batteria militare e su tutte le bellezze naturali che abbiamo incontrato per raggiungerla.

(Translated by Google) The landscape is incredible on one side the sea and the islands on the other the Mediterranean scrub and the famous Gallura granites... The only discordant note is the reconstruction of this one. Barracks that are more reminiscent of an abandoned cantonal house... Perhaps the ruins that were there before were better... they gave a much more peaceful and romantic idea of ​​everything (Original) Il paesaggio è incredibile da un lato il mare e le isole dall'altro la macchia mediterranea e i famosi graniti galluresi... L'unica nota stonata e la ricostruzione di questa. Caserma che ricorda più una casa cantonale abbandonata ... Forse erano meglio i ruderi che c'erano prima... davano un idea molto più tranquilla e romantica del tutto

(Translated by Google) It was a wonderful experience of trekking and immersion in military history... thanks to Loredana who was able to convey to us with such enthusiasm her passion for this wonderful land that is Sardinia! (Original) È stata una bellissima esperienza di trekking e immersione nella storia militare.. grazie a Loredana che ha saputo trasmetterci con tanto entusiasmo la sua passione per questa terra meravigliosa che è la Sardegna!

(Translated by Google) Expertly rebuilt with love. Kept intact by the friendly guardian who explains the military life of the time. Great place to visit in front of a beautiful beach. Difficult to get there on foot via a difficult path. Highly recommended!!!! (Original) Sapientemente ricostruito con amore. Mantenuto intatto dal guardiano simpatico che ti illustra la vita militare dell'epoca. Ottimo luogo da visitare di fronte ad una spiaggia bellissima. Difficile arrivare a piedi attraverso un sentiero difficile. Consigliatissimo!!!!

Nice and very helpful!

(Translated by Google) Excellent experience in this tourist office. 15 meters from the main street. They have a lot of information material and the staff is knowledgeable and helpful. They have extensive opening hours to the public and is located underneath a library. Not everything can be found on the internet, so I recommend going to this tourist office in Palau. (Original) Ottima esperienza in questo ufficio turistico. A 15 metri dalla via principale. Hanno molto materiale informativo ed il personale è preparato e disponibile. Hanno ampi orari di apertura al pubblico e si trova al di sotto di una biblioteca. Non tutto si trova su internet per questo consiglio di passare in questo ufficio turistico a Palau.

(Translated by Google) Useless tourist office. No information other than the local map, if you are on foot, apparently no hiking possibilities, emphasizing that the local roads are only for vehicles and are dangerous for pedestrians, information in Italian and English only and an employee who was not of much help to us... Disappointed (Original) Office du tourisme inutile. Pas d'information à part la carte locale, si vous êtes à pieds a priori pas de possibilité de rando soulignant que les routes locales sont uniquement pour les véhicules et sont dangereuses pour les piétons, informations en italien et en anglais uniquement et une employée qui ne nous a pas été d'une grande aide... Déçus

(Translated by Google) Ready to fly with precise and detailed information accompanied by maps and photos relating to the locations described. Abundant material for this holiday, and for the next one. (Original) Pronti al volo con informazioni precise e dettagliate accompagnate da mappe e foto relative alle località descritte. Materiale abbondante per questa vacanza, e per la prossima ancora.

(Translated by Google) Simple tourist office with a very friendly employee. She was able to give us perfect information. (Original) Einfaches Tourismus Büro mit einer sehr netten Angestellten. Sie konnte uns perfekte Infos geben

(Translated by Google) Mauro treated us great, he knows Spanish and gave us good information and advice and all with a smile. Thank you (Original) Mauro nos atendió genial, sabe castellano y nos dio buena información y consejos y todo con una sonrisa. Gracias

(Translated by Google) the information point is located just a stone's throw from the ferry landing on the port. It is easily accessible and is also open in the evening. The staff is friendly and helpful. You can find various information in your own language and updated maps and brochures. (Original) il punto informazioni si trova proprio a due passi dallo sbarco dei traghetti,sul porto.È facilmente raggiungibile ed è aperto anche di sera.Il personale è gentile e disponibile.È possibile trovare diverse informazioni in lingua e cartine e depliant aggiornati.

Can’t go beyond the green gate - there’s no way to the beach(it also says it’s private property on it). I followed other reviews to get to Cala di Trana and had to walk all the way down just to find myself in private houses…. Had to walk the way back up and took a challenging rocky path down to the beach. Highly recommended taking the Costa Serena route. Parking and trail are easy and accessible there.

A gorgeous beach, kept very quiet by the fact it is only reachable by sea, or a 30-40 min hike. We parked at 41.1988774, 9.3367813 (Google Maps coordinates) and it took us 35 mins to walk to the beach. There are multiple paths that lead to nowhere so make sure you do your research and download a hiking app that can show you the way, as there are no signposts and very little markings to show you you are on the right route. However, it is well worth the effort as the large beach is generally quiet and is lapped by clear, turquoise water. Due to its sheltered location, it also doesn’t suffer from the strong westerly winds.

Start your route at La porta del paradiso. There is a free parking space. Wear shoes for the hike, no flip flops. It's 1.3km to walk. It's not a big challenge except the heat it you walk in the midday and in the sun. Try to walk with Google maps. You can see the path. Perfect empty beach, went in mid September. Some boats do a stop there. But nothing compared to the other overtourism beaches

Fantastica! One of the best beaches in north Sardegna. You need to have good directions and be able to walk and hike for about 45 minutes under the sun each way. But worth it!

Top experience! Foresee some good shoes to reach the beach but then you’re in for a treat!

Beautiful beach ⛱️ You have to walk a little trail to the beach.

Nice and quiet beach, until a tour boat shows up and drops off an entire army of tourists. When there are no tour boats, you'll have an almost private beach, since it's only accessible by boat

Mooi strand, wel druk en meer wind/ stormachtig (Translated by Google) Beautiful beach, but busy and more wind / stormy

Great beach with a lovely vibe and very friendly people. A must if you are in the area.

Very difficult to park. The loungers can be rented from the sports bar which has a great selection of food and drink. Sailing and kayaking can be understands via the sports club. Great for winds ailing

Nice sheltered beach, had it to ourselves in late September. Good snorkeling.

(Translated by Google) Beach surrounded by nature, very small and not very crowded. Crystal clear water There are no car parks, you park where you can on the street Access to the beach through a gate that looks like an entrance to a private residence There are no bars, services or sunbed rental Very quiet beach with ocher sand It's really worth it if you want to stay calm Bring an umbrella (Original) Spiaggia immersa nella natura, molto piccola e poco frequentata. Acqua cristallina Non sono presenti parcheggi , si parcheggia dove si può sulla strada Accesso alla spiaggia attraverso un cancello che pare un ingresso di una residenza privata Non sono presenti bar, servizi e noleggio lettini Spiaggia molto tranquilla di sabbia color ocra Merita davvero se si vuole stare tranquilli Portatevi un ombrellone

(Translated by Google) Really nice beach made of small pebbles. Small but beautiful. We were lucky to find parking because otherwise there are 3 parking lots of number (Original) Spiaggia davvero carina fatta da piccoli sassolini. Piccola ma bella. Siamo stati fortunati a trovare parcheggio perché altrimenti ci sono 3 parcheggi di numero

No access, very misleading. We do not recommend.

(Translated by Google) Small beach near Porto Raffael. Excellent for spending a few hours away from crowded beaches. It is not equipped so there are no bars or bathrooms, therefore not recommended for long stays, unless you go super organized with food and drinks. (Original) Piccola spiaggia nei pressi di Porto Raffael. Ottima per poter trascorrere qualche ora lontani da spiagge affollate. Non è attrezzata quindi non ci sono bar e bagni,quindi sconsigliata,in caso per soste lunghe,a meno che non ci si vada super organizzati con cibi e bevande.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful beach, small and uncrowded, especially recommended on days when the Mistral wind is strong. The seabed slopes gently, and the water is clean and clear. The surrounding area is rich in vegetation, bamboo, and rocks. I must report that despite a no-smoking sign (there are no trash cans), a black man, while talking on the phone on the shore among the rocks, calmly stepped out of a green gate, smoked a cigarette, and threw the butt on the rocks into the sea. I'm attaching photos because I hope these words of mine will be read by those who manage the residence. What a disgrace! (Original) Spiaggia molto bella, piccola e poco affollata soprattutto indicata nelle giornate in cui il Maestrale è forte. Il fondale degrada dolcemente, acqua pulita e limpida. Intorno è ricco di vegetazione, bambù e rocce. Devo segnalare, che nonostante ci sia un cartello con divieto di fumare( non ci sono cestini) un signore di colore, è sceso da un cancelletto verde, con tutta tranquillità mentre parlava al telefono a bordo riva tra i sassi, ha fumato una sigaretta e ha gettato il mozzicone sui sassi nel mare. Allego foto perche spero che queste mie parole vengano lette da chi gestisce il residence. Una vergogna!

You need to park up the hill and then walk down towards the beach. No dogs allowed.

A lovely small beach with free parking nearby and portaloo's. There is some kind of beach bar present but it is not currently in use.

Small cove facing the white cliffs of Bonifacio, one part is sandy and the other part is rocky with pebbles and lots of dried posidonia. Absolutely heaven for snorkeling, kids will love it as there is plenty of sea life to watch. Not much used by tourists, only locals when we were there. Sunbeds for hire at 7 euros. Car park is chaotic and can be dangerous ( warning if you have a rental!)

(Translated by Google) A bit of a lost corner, there used to be a beach bar apparently, but that's a ruin Don't let anyone tell you about sunbeds and a beach bar or something. There is NOTHING to do here other than a pile of rubbish. It may have been like that before, but on Eliza's site and all the others it says there are facilities. Not so. (Original) Beetje verloren hoek, voorheen was er zo te zien een strandtent, maar dat is een bouwval Laat je niks wijs maken over bedjes en een beachbar of zo. Hier is NIKS meer te doen dan een hoop afval. Zal best zo geweest zijn voorheen, maar op de site van Eliza en alle andere staat dat er voorzieningen zijn. Niet dus.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful varied beach, you can also sit on the rocks and pebbles to the left if you want. Varied landscape with rocks in the sea. There are public toilets, also for wheelchair users who have to negotiate all the bumps in the grass. The Spaggia bar was under construction, there were already beach beds. Walks have been taken in the forests, but I don't know where they end up. Nice place if you like this (Original) Mooi afwisselend strand, je kunt ook linksaf op de rotsen en kiezels gaan zitten als je wilt. Afwisselend landschap met rotspartijen in de zee. Er zijn openbare toiletten, ook voor rolstoelgebruikers die dan wel over alle hobbels in het gras moeten rijden. De bar Spaggia was in opbouw, er lagen al wel strandbedden. In de bosages zijn wandelingen gemaakt, weet niet waar deze uitkomen. Leuke plek als je hiervan houdt

(Translated by Google) You leave your car in the free parking lot, go through a gate, and follow a path that's easy even for little ones. The beach itself is pretty, wild, with a small bar. There's no sand, just granite and small pebbles. There's a dedicated dog beach. Unfortunately, there were too many wasps on this beach, starting at 8:00 a.m., constantly bothering them, so much so that eating was impossible. My son was quiet, playing with a small tractor, and he was stung three times on his hands. The beach is full of trash, plastic, and no one to collect it. The sea dumps everything on the dog beach. (Original) Si lascia la macchina al parcheggio gratuito, si oltrepassa un cancello e si percorre un sentiero facile anche per i piu piccoli. La spiaggia di per sé è carina, selvaggia con un piccolo bar. Non c'è sabbia ma granito , sassolini piccoli. C'è una spiaggia dedicata per cani . Purtroppo in questa spiaggia già alle 8 di mattina c'erano troppe vespe, continuamente a infastidire tanto che mangiare è impossibile. Mio figlio stava tranquillo , giocava con un piccolo trattore e lo hanno punto 3 volte sulle mani. La spiaggia è piena di rifiuti, plastica e nessuno che la raccoglie. Il mare scarica tutto nella spiaggia per cani.

(Translated by Google) A small bay with crystal clear water and a section dedicated to furry friends... plus the possibility of renting sunbeds and umbrellas at a fair price (7 sunbeds 6 umbrellas)... a beach that is never crowded. (Original) Una piccola baia di acqua cristallina e una parte dedicata agli amici pelosi... inoltre la possibilità di affittare lettino ed ombrelloni ad un prezzo onesto (7 lettino 6 ombrellone)... spiaggia mai affollata

(Translated by Google) The beach is uncrowded and the water is crystal clear. You can also rent umbrellas and lounge chairs at the nearby bar for €7. (Original) Spiaggia poco affollata, acqua cristallina. Inoltre al bar vicino possibilità di affittare ombrelloni e sdraio a 7€.

Nice church to visit when in Palau

Very beautiful church.

A beautiful church

Very nice mass.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent church. The interior is breathtaking. It's truly superb. I've never seen an interior like it. (Original) Magnifique église. L'intérieur est à couper le souffle C'est vraiment superbe j'ai jamais vu un intérieur pareil

(Translated by Google) Seen from the outside, you can't imagine the spaciousness, the brightness, the modern and elegant furnishings, the simplicity and harmony of this church as a whole. It's a pleasant surprise for the eyes and the heart. I'm convinced this feeling is felt by all the faithful who practice it. If you pass through Palau's main street, don't forget to visit this church, even if you're not a believer or practicing Catholic. It will be a surprise for you too. It's accessible to the disabled. Parking nearby is difficult to find. (Original) Vista dall'esteno non si immagina l'ampiezza, la luminosità, l'arredo moderno ed elegante, la semplicità e l'armonia di tutto l'insieme di questa chiesa. È una piacevole sorpresa per gli occhi e per il cuore. Ho la convinzione che questa sensazione sia sentita da tutti i fedeli che la praticano. Se passate per la via centrale di Palau non scordate di fare una visita in questa chiesa, anche se non siete credenti o praticanti. Sarà una sorpresa anche per voi. È accessibile per i portatori di handicap. Difficoltà di trovare parcheggio nelle vicinanze.

(Translated by Google) The most beautiful church I've ever seen! Totally cozy yet chic. A truly unique altar, bright orange stained-glass windows, a bright, colorful yet modern and elegant church. I'd love to get married there if it weren't so far away 😅🙊 (Original) Die schönste Kirche die ich je gesehen habe! Total gemütlich und dennoch schick. Sehr außergewöhnlicher Alltar, helle orangene Fensterbilder, eine helle farbenfrohe aber trotzdem moderne und edle Kirche. Da würde ich am liebsten heiraten wenn es nicht so weit weg wäre 😅🙊
