The villas were clean and comfortable, the kitchens had the basic necessities for cooking/ eating in (plates, glasses, utensils, coffee maker, stove, refrigerator etc) and there is a washing machine to do laundry if needed. The outdoor space surrounding the villa is also quite large with...

There is a wedding party that had a DJ with loudspeakers that went on until 2:30 in the morning. I at least would’ve expected them to have a 11 PM sound limit or something like that.

Learn more about Palau

Nestled along the Costa Smeralda, this charming port town invites you to explore the distinctive Bear's Rock formation that towers over the landscape. Spend your days hopping between La Sciumara and Porto Mannu beaches, then wander through the historic streets of Palau vecchio as evening falls.

Translated into English as Cape of the Bear, this significant outcrop of rock eroded by the wind is a tourist attraction on Sardinia, an island so different from Sicily or the mainland.  Its influences have been from different places than elsewhere so you'll find the Renaissance missing here and more accent on natural features.  A great place for hiking.
