No direct airport access. Fly into Cagliari or Olbia, then drive approximately 2-3 hours via winding roads. Public transport is sparse; renting a car is essential for exploring nearby coves, hiking trails, and the interior of Ogliastra.
May through September offers ideal weather and warm seas. While summer brings more visitors, the area remains relatively uncrowded compared to northern Sardinia. Late spring or early autumn provides the best balance of good weather and tranquility.
Right on the seafront in front of Tavolara Island, a simple restaurant run by an experienced couple. The kitchen exalts the best fish in the area with a modern taste, offered with a wide selection including some raw (such as red tuna tartare with cucumber and raspberries) and the catch of the day grilled, baked or in salt. In the summer, reservations are highly recommended because the scenic outdoor seating area, although large, is extremely popular!
