About this site
Il Grottino lies off Caprera Island in the Maddalena Archipelago, a group of granite islands off the northeastern coast of Sardinia in the Province of Olbia-Tempio. Caprera sits at the eastern edge of the archipelago, connected by causeway to La Maddalena, and its surrounding waters are protected as a national park. The clear waters and rocky coastline of this stretch attract boat traffic from La Maddalena town.
