Monolocale

This cluster is on San Pietro island off the south-west coast of Sardinia, with a rocky Mediterranean coastline, low cliffs and coves within the local landscape. The island faces the Sulcis sea and saltwater channels around Carloforte, and the former salt pans near the town are part of the immediate environment. The nearest larger mainland centre for services is Carbonia, reached via the ferry connection to Portovesme; Carloforte itself has the port, the island’s main built centre and day-to-day services. The area is known for its Ligurian Tabarchino heritage and for tuna fishing linked to the local tonnara.
