Sardinia has always been famous for transparent and clear waters, white sandy beaches, spectacular scenery, excellent cuisine rich in seafood. An unspoiled corner of civilization with golden beaches and secluded rocky coves, granite rocks covered with Mediterranean maquis, picturesque lagoons, small islands ... One of these islands, surrounded by a sea of extraordinary clarity and transparency, changing colors from dark blue to emerald green, with beautiful beaches, also has a fascinating history.

It is said that in the eighteenth century, a young man named Paul Bertoleoni, landed on an uninhabited island of Tavolara and declared himself king. Faced with so much insolence, the King of Sardinia, Carlo Alberto of Savoy decided to meet the king and went to the Isola of Tavolara. It is said that Paul Bertoleoni received so well his guests, that after a three-day hunt and tasting of delicious dishes, Carlo Alberto of Savoy formally recognized Paul Bertoleoni as king of That Islan.

So Tavolara Island became the smallest kingdom in the world. To date on the Island the royal dynasty of Bertoleoni lives receiving guests in a cozy restaurant on the beach, surprising everyone with its unique cuisine.

One of the most famous visitors of the island was the Queen of England, who wanted to meet the king of a the smallest kingdom in the world. Photos of the royal family Bertoleoni still adorn the walls of Buckingham Palace with the inscription: "The smallest kingdom in the world"
