The B&B Creusa de Ma is located on the exclusive Isle of San Pietro. It is a very elegant family villa, surrounded by a typical Mediterranean garden, with olive trees, a wonderful cacti garden and sunny terraces.

Quiet, but very near to Girin and Punta Nera beaches, it is three minutes from the main centre: Carloforte. The villa has three en-suite bedrooms: two doubles and one with three single beds. Accommodation is bed and breakfast, in which you can enjoy a sumptuous Italian breakfast of various specialities including the famous Focaccia alla Genovese.

The island's natural countryside is almost a microcosm of Sardinia: a hilly interior covered by woodland and ponds, whose habitat is home to the rare Queen Hawk and other wildlife. Down near the town, pink flamingos feed in the beautiful salt marshes. The island is surrounded by crystal clear waters with cliffs whose colours change from ochre to deep red to white and to green, which the sea has hollowed into astonishing caves. Among the cliffs are quiet beaches of white sands.

The island's only town was built up in the 18th Century: its roads are narrow and the two-storied houses often reflect the colours of Ligurian villages. In fact the residents are of Ligurian heritage and they still retain intact the dialect and customs of their ancestors, despite being 350 miles away.
