The practical plan

  1. Choose the actual base

    The curation group is broader than one town. Compare the actual locality of each stay below before treating it as a base for the same outings.

  2. Arrival matters

    For the La Pavona approach, leave the car on the mainland and continue by boat. Confirm dock, parking, baggage allowance and the final departure directly with your provider.

  3. Selected overnight or alternative?

    The individual stay pages identify the exact saved default nights. A property directory includes alternatives and does not establish room availability.

MATCH YOUR STAY TO YOUR ROUTE

Choose the actual overnight base

Compare locations, then open each hotel guide for the room, facilities and booking choices.

Questions before you go

Are these hotels available for my dates?

Can I use every stay as the same base?

The curation group is broader than one town. Compare the actual locality of each stay below before treating it as a base for the same outings.
