We are indeed in front of a place where it is possible to get in touch with a peculiar nature and above all to find the right balance to rest mind, heart and soul. A combination of nature, yet only a few steps away from one of the most ancient inhabited places on our peninsula, where you can rediscover a contact with the nature of the sea that is difficult to find elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The island offers a decidedly unique setting for those who wish to travel even just a few kilometres away, for a day without commitment, without worries and with only the peace that this place manages to transmit in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Possibility_of_private_parties\"><\/span>Possibility of private parties<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the residences on the island can also be rented for private parties, receptions or special occasions involving several people.
