Francesco & Vale's tips
Visite turistiche
(10 minutes driving) The very famous village built in the 60’s is renown for luxury shops, the piazzetta and the harbour (porto vecchio). If you are lucky, in porto vecchio you’ll see the biggest and most famous private yacht in the world. In Porto cervo there is also a Super market (not too big and expensive, not our first choice), news paper, a Pharmacy. There are many bars for breakfast and aperitivo. Not the best one and too expensive in our opinion, but if you are in Costa Smeralda once, you should seat and enjoy the experience for once

(25 minutes driving). A small modern village by the sea with all the facilities. Is it nice for an evening walk and a gelato, buti s not among our favourite. If you are travelling with children they will love the ‘aquapark’

Offerta gastronomica
(15 minutes driving, località abbiadori) In our opinion the best place for a traditional italian breakfast (cappuccino and croissant). Here you can buy really tasty cakes to bring at home and good pizza and focaccia to take to the beach with you. It is expensive, but worth it. The location is ok, but nothing special. No sea view.
