Location:
Le Corbule is located in the magical and peaceful surroundings of Porto Rafael. Just minutes away from a superb range of beaches and towns this villa is perfectly situated for getting to know the north-east corner of Sardinia.
The glistening coastline is always one of the major draws of this area, which can be spotted from the beautiful garden. The closest beach is around 1km from the villa in Porto Rafael and is perfect for a quick dip in the sea. Spiaggia de La Sciumara is also very close and is a lovely, sandy, clear-water beach, surrounded by hills and offering distant, picturesque views of La Maddalena Island. For sunbathing and taking a dip, this picturesque beach is perfect, though there are a wealth of other beaches nearby, from sweeping sandy ones to tucked-away swimming coves, so you can choose a different one for each day of your trip.
We recommend a visit to the protected islands of La Maddalena Archipelago, known for their unspoilt beaches which can be accessed by boat from the town of Palau which is 3km away. There are almost 60 islands in total, though most visitors tend to visit around seven islands during a stay. Boat tours offer the opportunity to snorkel in tiny coves only reachable by boat and see the celebrated pink beach on Buddeli island. For a more unique experience, we recommend stopping on Caprera island which is famous for being the home of revered Italian general and revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi, who lived there for 26 years. Today you can visit his former home to learn more about him and see many original artefacts.
Palau is not just a brilliant place for boat trips, the town itself offers a vibrant selection of cafés and restaurants. Visitors can hike up to The Bear Rock or the imposing fortress on Monte Altura, taking in the breath-taking views. Porto Pollo Beach offers fun and activities for the whole family, with water sports, sun loungers, and refreshments on offer, to keep you all going through the day. Whilst wandering around the town, it is also worth paying a visit to the Ethnology Museum which has lots of information and artefacts on the history of the area. If you would like to do some shopping during your stay, then Palau has a number of artisan shops and bustling markets which continue into the evening.
