Food Scene
Poderi Crisci vineyard encompasses 7.7 hectares on a north facing slope set amongst a sheltered amphitheatre and a narrow rocky strip believed to be 30 million set years older than the rest of the Island.
Located at the end of a country lane, Poderi Crisci is a family-owned vineyard and restaurant with Italian flair and a passion for traditional winemaking. For four generations the Crisci family have been immersed in the art of food and wine.
We highly recommend the Sunday long lunch. it is around 75 pp.

Palm Beach
Palm RoadThe most beautiful beach on the island.
About 10 minutes walk to the beach. Just go past the shops and then take the next left. When the tide is in, it's a very safe swimming beach - lovely and warm. When the tide is out it's quite a long walk to get in!
