Good location! Missing a few amenities in the shower (not enough soap). The breakfast was good and had lots of options. About a 10 minute walk to town! Very easy. Parking was a little bit harder than we would have liked

Fabulous

It is hard to find anything bad about this place. We were in the suite on the terrace which is absolutely fantastic. I imagine if it pretty hit in the summer, but we were fine in October. It won’t be for you if you can’t manage lots of stairs as it’s a good way up to get in. But if you can manage then it’s a great place to stay. Breakfast is a good selection, the beds are comfortable. We had self check with which the only snag was that we didn’t get the email telling us how! The numbers for the manager is on the intercom and she replied quickly via WhatsApp. We parked in street about 3 mins walk away then walked into town which takes around 8-10 mins. We would love to stay again.

Tutto perfetto, stanza pulita e accogliente. Buona colazione con un po’ di tutto ma il top sono le torte “fatte in casa”. Se mi posso permettere consiglierei di mettere a disposizione degli ospiti un boccione dell’acqua. Ritorneremo sicuramente.

Les : Bonne communication avec l'établissement pour notre arrivée, proche du centre, propre. Les - : il faut payer le parking en plus, il est un peu difficile de se garer, l'entrée se trouve en haut de marches qu'il faut monter avec les valises. Les lumieres extérieures de l'établissement restent allumées toute la nuit donc pas d'obscurité totale dans la chambre

Beautiful, quiet and clean B&B. The host was very helpful and pleasant. The walk to the center of town is reasonable (less than 10 mins), although it is along a fairly busy street. There is no parking at the property, but there is a street nearby near the water where you can park if there is room.

Juste parfait

Charmant petit B&B au calme mais à seulement 7mn à pied du centre historique, la chambre est propre, confortable et joliment décorée. Le petit déjeuner est très bon avec tous les jours des cake fait maison. Personnel serviable et souriant (Merci à Valentina pour les indications pour le parking public à côté du B&B) Rapport qualité/prix imbattable pour profiter des plages magnifiques de La Maddalena !! Je recommande
