The Hotel Corte Bianca is situated in the beautiful Ogliastra, a small region full of natural beauty: here you can go discover its beautiful beaches and wonderful mountains. At the hotel, we organize both boat trips (with rubber boat or motor yacht) along the spectacular Orosei Gulf, and different excursions into the country areas.

From the hotel, you can easily reach some of the most beautiful beaches in Sardinia. Arriving at Corte Bianca, you can ask our reception staff for a detailed map of the area, with the main places of interest, such as:

• “Museddu” Beach is just 3 km from the hotel; it is a mixture of fine sand and pebbles, mostly white. There you can enjoy different activities, such as scuba diving, snorkelling, surfing and kitesurfing, thanks to the favourable winds that blow on the coast during the summer season.

• “Su Sirboni” is located about 7 km from the hotel, a jewel of Gairo Marina that has preserved its wild aspect. Soft white sand, red rocks and a thick Mediterranean vegetation surround its crystal-clear waters.

• “Coccorrocci” Beach is located about 10 km from the hotel, expanding for four kilometres. This beach is made up of pebbles shaped by time and characterized by a very suggestive naturalistic context. The Ferru and Cartucceddu mountains hang on the coast with their red porphyry rocks and junipers framing the beach with green foliage and intoxicating scents. The pebbles of volcanic origin have many colours, from whites to pink, from grey to greenish, degrading gently into the crystalline sea. Thanks to the purity of the water, you can admire the seabed rich in marine flora and fauna; the shoreline is ideal for long walks in total relaxation.

• “Natural Ponds of Ferru Mountains”, about 12 km from the hotel. They are called in Sardinian language “Is Piscinas”, because they are a set of waterfalls and natural lakes set in red porphyry. They are located in the Marina di Gairo –Cardedu, only a few kilometres from Coccorrocci. It is a magical place, where you can take a cool bath and relax listening to the sound of the waterfalls, totally immersed in unspoiled, pristine nature. This is really an unusual place, ideal for those who want to find some peace in the shade of oleanders. The area of natural ponds has a great natural and environmental value, which is why it has been classified as a Site of Community Importance.
