HOW TO ARRIVE TO MADDALENA
Villa Martinelli is in the island of La Maddalena in the northern part of Sardinia. The house is in Villaggio Piras about 4 km from the town of La Maddalena; therefore a car is needed. The car could be your own car, or rent at Olbia airport. So, there are two ways to reach Sardinia. Either by your own car, by ship, from Genova, Livorno or Civitavecchia to Olbia or Golfo Aranci, or by plane to Olbia and then renting a car. There are many companies on the sea route from Italy to Sardinia as well as different ships which take from 4 to 8 hours to reach Olbia or Golfo Aranci. Whether you reach Olbia by ship or plane, from there you have to reach Palau (in front of the island of La Maddalena) in about 40 minutes. In Palau a ferry will take you in about 15 minutes to La Maddalena.
