Casa Brandolini is situated in the vicinity of Capo d’Orso on a unspoiled stretch of coast, where its natural state is intact and wild; it is an isolated house, a few metres from the water, in surrounding countryside that has no equal in Sardinia or even in the Mediterranean area as a whole. Perfectly smooth granite rocks in the most extraordinary shapes surround the house.

Palau is on the Sardinian mainland just in front of the National Park of the Arcipelago della Maddalena; ferries link Palau to La Maddalena, Genoa and Naples. Only five kilometres from Palau are Punta Sardegna and Porto Rafael, fashionable spots for high society. Porto Cervo and Porto Rotondo are respectively thirty and forty kilometres away. The nearest airport is Olbia, about fifty kilometres away, offering frequent domestic and international flights. The closest hospital is at La Maddalena.

Just a quarter of an hour’'s drive from the house are magnificent beaches, such as the Isola dei Gabbiani, a much sought-after destination for windsurfers. The National Park of the Arcipelago della Maddalena is recognized internationally as a marvel of natural beauty, with the islands of Caprera, Spargi, Budelli, La vezzi and Cavallo. At Palau, it is simple to hire small boats; the smooth waters of the sea at Palau are considered to be a yachtsman’s paradise.
Right in front of the house there is a wonderful natural water pool (about 200 square meters) where the water is between 1 and 3 feet deep.
