Serviced Apartments in Carloforte

This lovely town situated on St. Peter’s Island, Isola di San Pietro, was founded around 300 years ago by coral fishermen and their families who settled here because of the plentiful coral and has remained a fishing town to this day with it’s revenue topped up by tourism. This beautiful region makes for the perfect base for a holiday apartment or serviced residence where you can either spend your vacation exploring this idyllic location or travel further a field and discover neighbouring islands and towns.

A walk through town, just a short distance from your Carloforte apartment rental or holiday letting, will bring you to the old tuna processing plant where you will find many of the original buildings, some nothing more than ruins, but others renovated and housing a windsurfing school and a new tuna processing establishment. Quite an insight into this town’s fishing industry.

Look out for the local boat builders crafting the beautiful traditional Lateen sail fishing boats that are still used today and admire the superb craftsmanship that goes into these incredible vessels. Further on through the town you will find some quaint little shops selling beautiful, traditional coral items including exquisite pieces of jewellery. The perfect memento of your holiday.

From your Carloforte serviced apartment or aparthotel you can also take a trip to the neighbouring island of Isola di Sant Antioco, a really picturesque region with a very traditional quality. Take a stroll along the meandering country lanes rich in vegetation including fragrant honeysuckle and elegant fronds of bamboo. Stop off to view the interesting burial ground where clay pots containing the cremated remains were buried. Wander past lush vineyards and look out for the ox drawn carts still used on the island today.

Further into town you can pay a visit to the intriguing Archaeological Museum or wander over to the church and explore the somewhat unnerving catacombs that lie beneath. A thoroughly interesting day out.
