Carloforte

Carloforte, a charming fishing town on Isola di San Pietro (Saint Peter's Island), is one of Italy's "most beautiful villages." Legend tells of the Chiesa dei Novelli Innocenti, built to honor children who perished in a shipwreck near the island. Established in the 18th century by Ligurian coral fishers from Pegli, Carloforte's unique heritage is reflected in the local language, U Pàize. Explore the fascinating caves and ruins of the underground village, Villaggio Ipogeo. Relax on the beautiful beaches or explore the natural beauty of Punta delle Colonne, a scenic spot with national monuments. Discover unique local creations at specialty and gift shops like Enosim (featuring local artists) and Sartu. As night falls, Carloforte comes alive with a vibrant atmosphere in local bars and restaurants.
