HEAVEN AT THE MIDDLE OF THE SEA THE PORT AND THE ISLAND The Port of Cavallo hosts 200 boats, all with a maximum length of 35 metres. Each mooring is equipped with a supply of fresh water and electricity. An oasis of simplicity and persuasive charm A pearl in the archipelago of Lavezzi, Cavallo offers 15 Km of beaches and coves, hidden between the rocks. It is midway between Corsica and Sardinia, and seems to emerge from the waters miraculously, to form a magical landing place for lovers of the sea. It is a private island, where safety constitutes a further gua- rantee of serenity during your stay. The charm of the island of Cavallo can be perceived imme- diately, as you begin discover corners of heaven, here on Earth. The feeling is unique, thanks to the nature in the area but also because of the way in which the island gently gre- ets you, making you feel like a privileged visitor in a place without equals. The island of Cavallo is a place of wild, absolute beauty. It allows you to enter into a secret, private place in which the strong, graceful, breathtaking marina landscape blends with the discreet, elegant presence of the people who come to visit. Adding great value to the island are the seabeds that make the experience of diving and free diving thrilling moments, set in bright underwater scenarios, where you may come across numerous aquatic species. The marine environment is a whole universe of exceptional vitality. The clear blue waters that bathe the deserted beaches of Cavallo, in a setting of pink rocks and layers of golden sands, convey the quintessence of man’s relationship with the sea. The sun, shining brightly down from the sky and the spirit of the Mediterranean winds and waves, really make the island sparkle like a beautiful emerald. THE SURROUNDING AREAS THE ISLAND OF LAVEZZI Directly south of the island of Cavallo, in the centre of the Strait of Bonifacio, lies the rock of Lavezzi. It is a maze of whi- te granite boulders, offering endless tiny bays, where a good skipper can carve out his own private garden of Eden. Moo- ring is possible to the south, at Cala Lazarina (if entry is prohi- bited, you can land there by rowing in on a tender) or Cala Giunco. From the north, Lavezzi is only accessible to those brave enough to venture into the meander of tiny channels that characterize Cala del Greco and Cala della Chiesa. The waters are exceptionally transparent everywhere in the area. BONIFACIO Located in the extreme south of Corsica, the little town of Bonifacio is a true open-air museum: It is characterized by tall, white cliffs overhanging the sea and it offers a wealth of historic monuments, more than 20 beaches of fine sand and an outstanding collection of rare landscapes both on land and beneath the sea. It is a place to discover and will earn itself a place in your heart. SANT’AMANZA The extensive gulf of Sant’Amanza, closed to the south by Punta Capicciolo, offers a protected anchorage in its dee- pest part. It is a land of sandy beaches and rocky areas. The seabed is sandy, with banks surfacing in the western part. It is approximately 5.5 miles from the island of Cavallo. GOLFO DELLA RONDINARA At just over 6 miles from the island, the gulf of Rondinara is an untamed bay, with an unspoiled beauty, crystal clear waters and a gently sloping seabed. Being a bay, sheltered from the wind, it is ideal for stopping in the roadstead. The surroun- dings are uninhabited and there is a typical Corsican restau- rant onshore, overlooking the beach and offering excellent specialties. ISOLA PIANA Between the island of Cavallo and the Corsican coast, is the island of Piana, with its low profile delimiting a stretch of sea, with a shallow sandy seabed. When the sea is calm, this turns into a pool, here boats can cast their anchors and appear suspended in the clear crystalline water. SERVICES There are numerous activities to be enjoyed on the island and in the magnificent surrounding areas. Sun and sea lovers can enjoy the peaceful, white beaches, while there are tennis, golf, soccer and swimming pool facilities for sports fans, as well as a sailing and windsurfing school and diving in the natural reserve. Those who like refined, elegant shopping can visit the prestigious boutiques and quaint shops of the splendid village of Bonifacio, thanks to the Cavallo-Piantarella taxi-boat services.
