Covering just 296 acres, the Ile de Cavallo is the only inhabited island in the Lavezzi archipelago between Corsica and Sardinia and one of Europe's best kept secrets. Cavallo is entirely car-free, so exploring this idyllic island is by electric golf buggy. The hotel's bedrooms and suites are built from local stone and furnished in simple white and blue tones to reflect the vivid colours of the environment and are arranged close to the water's edge, maximising the glorious sea views.
