The ideal "surf & turf" base to explore northern Sardinia

The lively coastal town of Santa Teresa di Gallura is beloved by locals and visitors alike for its authentic vibe, lively summer evenings, and wonderful coves ideal for a relaxing beachside drink admiring indescribably cobalt blue and turquoise waters. Natural beauties abound and create a true playground for outdoor fans, from rewarding hikes around the lighthouse of Capo Testa or the quarries used to build the most famous Roman temples, and plenty of sailing opportunities.

The “surf & turf” expression seems to have been invented to describe the region of Gallura, Just a few miles away from the glittering beach lifestyle and upmarket resorts lies a picturesque and authentic Sardinia, renowned for the unique longevity of its inhabitants. Centuries-old traditions and sincere passion for local customs create a stimulating blend of authentic cultural experiences, excellent folk museums, craft shopping, and delicious culinary experiences with local families and even with real shepherds.
