Four destinations to discover between the hills and the sea
Castelsardo
Perched above the sea, with its colourful houses clinging to the rocks and the Doria castle dominating the Gulf of Asinara, Castelsardo is one of Sardinia’s most picturesque villages. Its perfectly preserved historic centre is a labyrinth of cobbled streets, artisan shops and postcard views.
Famous for its tradition of basket weaving, Castelsardo combines art, history and scenery in a single, memorable visit.
Aggius
In the heart of granite-rich Gallura, Aggius is a village that preserves an authentic and tranquil spirit. Its stone houses, ethnographic museums and the singing of tenores that still echoes during village festivals reveal a profound, rural and proud Sardinia.
From here, trails lead to lunar landscapes, among wind-sculpted boulders and enchanted valleys. An ideal place for those seeking memory, slowness and nature.
Santa Teresa di Gallura
Overlooking one of the clearest stretches of sea in Sardinia, Santa Teresa is a lively village with an ancient soul. Its white squares, the Aragonese tower overlooking Corsica, and beaches such as Rena Bianca and Capo Testa make it the perfect destination for those who want to combine beautiful scenery with a Mediterranean atmosphere.
A few kilometres away, archaeological sites and lighthouses offer opportunities for more intimate and poetic explorations.
Tempio Pausania
Elegant and intimate, Tempio Pausania is the granite capital of Gallura. Its historic centre, made up of light stone alleys and nineteenth-century buildings, is a place that invites you to explore at a leisurely pace. Among churches, fountains, shops and small cafés, there is an air of discreet nobility.
At the foot of Mount Limbara, the village is also the gateway to centuries-old woods and pure springs, offering a perfect combination of culture and nature.
