Tavolara is a mountain of limestone and granite 500 m high that sprouts from the sea with its vertical walls. Its ecosystem has been preserved intact in virtue of the difficulty in landing that over the centuries have preserved it from anthropical development. The eastern side, a military zone, is inaccessible, but on the other side is a low strip, called Spalmatore di Terra, there are beautiful beaches, a dock, and two typical restaurants. Together with the nearby islands of Molara and Molarotto, on which 150 specimens of mouflon live, they form a marine park. You can visit it by renting a boat, I'm sure you'll really enjoy it!
When I'm in Sardinia I never miss my boat trip to all marine parks, they're simply wonderful.
But let's go back to Tavolara Island. On the sandy strip of Spalmatore di Terra grow sea lilies while the rocks are covered with bushes of juniper, helichyrisum, rosemary and lentisk. But the island is also home to many beautiful specimens of flora like the Erodium coricum, a variety of geranium and the Asperula deficiens, rare, that only lives on this island. It is said that during the last century Carlo Alberto, king of Piedmont and Sardinia, disembarked on the island in search of the mythical goats of the golden teeth (phenomenon caused by a grass that causes these reflections), and had remained so spellbound by it as to nominate its only inhabitant, Paul Bertolini, "king of Tavolara".
Tavolara can be easily reached from Olbia. The waters of the reserve can be explored with guided dives in a number of places. For instance, to the south of Tavolara, at Teddja Liscia, astree, red starfish, grouper, but also yellow Gorgonie appear among the ravines and the burrows in the blocks of limestone.
After all this...don't miss your opportunity to invest in Sardinia! My family and me are seriously thinking of buying a vacation home in Sardinia, there are a lot of good opportunities and remember that buying a house is one of the best investments you could do when the world is experiencing economic crisis like this one!
And remember that our prices starts from $ 258.000!
There's a new residence in Olbia, the resort is located in a place of significant environmental value bordering the 2 above mentioned protected marine areas of Tavolara and Molara, and La Maddalena, and is walking distance to a white sand beach.
Ground floor units are equipped with both a garden and a sea front entrance. First floor units have a terrace overlooking the sea . Each unit has a parking space, with the possibility of a lock up garage. Sizes of the apartments include 2 rooms or 3 rooms apartments, but it's also possible to combine more units to reach up to 6, 7, 8 rooms.
Sounds interesting!
I can bet once you try Sardinia, you'll fall in love with its nature, waters, landscapes, lifestyle!

Bye for now!
