What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Isla con encanto especial donde puedes encontrar el puerto, muchas tiendas en sus calles y gran variedad de restaurantes y bares. Merece la pena visitarla.”
“Bellezza ....natura....gente genuina...ecco questa è la Sardegna...”
“Un paratge meravellós. Només una pega, els restaurants són caríssims.”
“El pueblo de la Maddalena, al que llegamos en ferry, es la única población de la isla. Antiguo pueblo de pescadores hoy tiene en la artesanía local y la venta de productos típicos como los taptes, los corales o la filigrana sarda, su modelo económico. Desde el puerto puedes alquilar un barco y recorrer las islas del archipiélago. Playas de ensueño. El ferry sale de Palau a Magdalena cada media y también cada hora. Puedes ir con el coche si quieres.”
“Bonita Isla, muchas embarcaciones, buen comercio y restaurantes. Alrededor de esta aguas color turquesa.”
