Excursions from Hotel Valle Dell'Erica

The Hotel Valle dell'Erica is an ideal base for exploring the sights of Northern Sardinia. Palau, 14 km away, affords spectacular views from the landmark Capo D’Orso rock and it is possible to cross by ferry to the island of La Maddalena. From there one can reach the even more remote Caprera, an uninhabited island, once the home and now the final resting place of Garibaldi. Guests may book extended trips to La Maddalena Archipelago, the National Marine Park, or charter skippered boats for deep sea fishing or diving and exploration.

Further inland, if time permits, there is the annual gastronomic fair in Desulo in the heart of the Gennargentu, taking place in the first week of November. There is a wide range of local produce including ham, sausage, local breads, meat, cheese, dolci and roast chestnuts. Raritirs include su callu, a strong cheese produced in a mildly unsettling way.
