shell fish; starters with fresh locally caught tuna and Bottarga, the

The coast line around the friendly fishing village of Calasetta with
its picturesque harbour offers a choice of white sandy beaches and
untouched rock formations embedded in the breathtaking scenery of the
surrounding landscape. In the immediate vicinity on the north eastern
side of the hotel you’ll find the largest and most beautiful beach of
the island, the ‘Spiaggia Grande’.
Moving further east towards Calasetta you come across the ‘Le Saline’
beach, with directly behind it the marshlands, famous for the many rare
species of birds that nest here.
Directly attached to the village is
the ‘Sotto Torre ‘ beach. Following the coast line southwards here the
magnificent rock formations known as the ‘ Nido dei Passeri’ , the ‘
Sparrows’ Nest ‘ are a perfect spot to enjoy the view of the neighbour
island San Pietro or to take a dive in the crystal clear sea. Further
down the coast the Cala Lunga bay, where the sea water has a particular
fluorescent green blue quality, protected by the green surrounding
hills the Maestrale wind, offers a quiet refuge for a day of sunbathing
and swimming.
