The studio is just a 2-minute walk from the vibrant quayside of La Maddalena. Here visitors can hire private boats or take a boat trip around the archipelago. The La Maddalena Archipelago National Park covers 7 larger islands and up to 55 smaller ones. These offer a varied landscape composed of granite, inlets, beaches and rolling hills as well as sparkling clear waters, which are ideal for snorkelling and scuba diving.

The main island of La Maddalena is famous for its natural beauty, such as Spalmatore Beach (10-minute drive), the fjord of Cala Francese (10 minutes) and the Via Padule (8 minutes) which leads to the Eagle\'s Nest and Punta Tegge. To the north are the beaches of Bassa Trinita (9 minutes), Cala Lunga (11 minutes) and Monti d’Arena (9 minutes), famous for their white dunes and wind-sculpted rocks.

The archipelago has a fascinating history, including its stand against Napoleon and as the final home of the Italian hero Giuseppe Garibaldi, who lived and died on the island of Caprera, joined to Maddelena by a bridge - Passo della Moneta.

The town of La Maddalena, the only one in the archipelago, has grocery stores, restaurants and bars to suit all budgets. The weekly Wednesday market is the best place to pick up local ingredients to cook at home.
