(Translated by Google) Beautiful murals painted on the walls of the houses along the main street of the small town by the artist Pina Modde and other masters of the trompe l’oeil technique. The scenes represent moments of village life, local artisanal activities and the festivities dearest to the community. Not to be missed!

Nuraghe Nuraddeo

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Ancient Ruins
Mysterious Sites
(Translated by Google) The place is closed by a gate but can be visited easily, after climbing over the wall. The site was previously managed by a cooperative which kept it running; now you can still see some works aimed at keeping it tidy and clean and easy to access. The nuraghe stands on a small plateau overlooking a part of the valley that descends towards Scano. You can enter the courtyard and partially ascend the main tower via an external staircase; however, the internal part of the tower is unusable due to boulders placed as a barrier, a real shame. In summary it is in excellent condition and the area in which it extends is very large, which also suggests the presence of a village. (Original) Il luogo è chiuso da cancello ma visitabile tranquillamente, previo scavalco del muretto. Il sito prima era gestito da una cooperativa che lo teneva a regime; ora si possono ancora notare delle opere atte a tenerlo in ordine e pulito e di facile accesso. Il nuraghe svetta su un piccolo altipiano che domina una parte della vallata che scende verso Scano. Si può entrare nel cortile e salire parzialmente nella torre principale tramite una scala esterna; la parte interna della torre tuttavia è inagibile a causa di massi messi sbarramento, un vero peccato. Sommariamente si trova in ottime condizioni e l'area in cui si estende è molto grande, in che fa intuire anche la presenza di un villaggio.

Paola C — Google review
(Translated by Google) Even if Maps writes that it is temporarily closed, the nuraghe can be visited. You park and climb over a wall next to the first gate on the road. Then you travel about 200 meters and climb over another wall next to the second gate, then you arrive among thorny weeds and scattered brambles. Unfortunately there is no entrance to visit the inside of the nuraghe. (Original) Anche se Maps scrive che è chiuso temporaneamente, il nuraghe è visitabile. Si parcheggia e si scavalca un muretto affianco al primo cancello sulla strada. Poi si percorrono circa 200 metri e si scavalca un altro muretto affianco al secondo cancello, poi tra erbacce spinose e rovi sparsi, si arriva. Purtroppo non c'è nessun ingresso per visitare l'interno del nuraghe.

It offers scenic hiking routes and diving sites, as well as caverns with archaeological remains. The promontory is famous for being one of the tallest cliffs in Sardinia and provides an incredible vantage point to admire the sea and spectacular sunsets.
Outstanding views. It was very busy however. Wear hiking shoes if you going to climb a little higher.

Beautiful views and the cave but you need to walk down in big heat but even a lot more on the way up. Inside the cave it is warm, 18-20C during the whole year.
Radka K — Google review
You cannot access the Capo Caccia area but you can, however, for a fee of 14€, visit the underneath cave through some stairs (lots of them). My 2 cents - not worth the 14€ - visit the surrounding areas for free and you can find some real gems if you are daring enough.

Wonderful activity to put on the list for Alghero and its surroundings! Booked our time slot in advance (would recommend) and bought the tickets for a visit on site. You have 684 steps to go down towards the entrance. Treated by amazing views along the way! The cave itself is spacious and has a nice temperature, a sweater can come in handy. Only thing to take in mind is the parking availability, we had the second visit of the day so quite early. If you come in any later take into account some extra time to walk towards the location. Quite a narrow road with limited options to turn around.
Elon G — Google review
So it is kind of tricky : YOU HAVE TO DO A RESERVATION BEFORE EVEN BUYING A TICKET. BUYING A TICKET DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOU THE SPOT FOR THE HOUR YOU WANT. You have to go on their website and book the time slot you want. Then you can buy your ticket either online or at their kiosk. Be careful, the parking in front of the kiosk is for residents only. The police come regularly to give tickets for tourists who parked there. For the stairs, it is okay for untrained people, not in an amazing shape which was my case. I gave birth a year ago, weigh a 100 kilos, not trained for over a year, and did it with two stops on the way back only. So it is doable for anyone. Take your time and go step by step. The cave was fine. Really pretty but the guided tour was not good since the person who speaks is it the front so they talk about things that if we are at the end of the queue we don't see what they're talking about and so sometimes it's a bit frustrating. But mostly it was good. We brought with us our 1yo, please bring your baby a little sweatshirt as it gets colder in the cave.
Cœur A — Google review
Although its one of the most beautiful caves i’ve seen i think you should very much consider if its worth it. Take in mind that there’s not much parking available, the ticket cost 14€, toilet service is not included. Tours start every hour and the gates at the top are open 30-20 minutes before. Once at the beginning of the cave you wait in line once again to get tickets checked and there is also a whole other group waiting to get in that came by boat. So once inside the guide does a great job, but on the 500 meter slow stroll through narrow path you listen to basic info in two languages, about the cave that is the same all over the world. The stairwell is very scenic if you don’t have to avoid other people tho.
Žan P — Google review
Loved every step - well worth a visit. The park and ride service is defo worth considering as the ONLY parking are the lay-by or designated pull in areas which you will find only on the “sea” side of the road. If you park along this stretch of road which isn’t a legit parking spot, you’re highly likely to get a ticket and or towed away! Be warned. Park and ride is about €5 each return.
Andy D — Google review
Amazing caves that are 65 million years old. Really a must see if you are in the area. First you must tackle the 654 steps along the side of the cliffs down and back up. You get an entrance time with your ticket (every 30 mins) and it takes about 15 mins to walk down. Then you must wait for the guided tour for entry, which is in Italian and English. Overall, we spent 1.5 hours in total. Better to book in advance during the high season. We arrived on a Sunday late morning in September and were able to get a ticket without booking for the 11:30 entrance time. There is no parking at the entrance so you have to walk or go to the free parking areas and pay for the shuttle bus.
Simon R — Google review
The cave itself was gorgeous but not as much as the the walk to get there, which is total of 654 stair steps one way. For someone who doesn’t walk a lot on a daily bases, this trip might be a bit challenging- so make sure you grab a bottle of water with you. Ticket price is 14€ for adults. Less for students and kids. Going down the stairs i recommend staying behind everyone to enjoy the views at your own pace (and to take pictures without tourists in background). For whatever reason people rushed to the cave instead of taking in the views along the way.. Once you reach the cave, the guide will wait for everyone to start. Then I would suggest to squeeze in at the start so you’re one of the first to leave the cave after the tour. That way you can walk back up without waiting behind everyone, cause most people will be slow.
Dace D — Google review
We attempted to visit twice but it was closed at short notice for safety reasons even with a confirmed ticket - we believe it’s a beautiful grotto but it is tide/water conditions dependent, you need a bit of luck to see it. Today 02/09/25 is a calm and sunny day and we could not access it. Arrive 40 mins before you booked time and factor in the 30 minute walk from the car park.

Frecce delle grotte srl

Frecce delle grotte srl offers an unforgettable experience of exploring the stunning Grotte. Visitors have enjoyed boat rides to the caves and even spotted dolphins during their trips. The crew is known for being welcoming and hospitable, providing coffee and refreshments on board. While some suggest that more details about the region could be shared during the tour, many find the long boat ride along the cliffs to be awe-inspiring.
2 options to get there. Boat or land (incl 600+ steps). When it's choppy, no boats run. Amazing sight. Tour in Italian and English and well worth it. No need to book ahead if going by land but you may need to wait. If going by sea, boat and entry paired together.
Alex S — Google review
I enjoyed Neptune's Grotto, it's beautiful and ethereal. The boat ride there was lovely and weather was perfect. There are a lot of people in at any given time, so expect some queues and slowness. But it's a little confusing online how to book. If taking the boat, you buy a ticket from the vendor in person, not online. My ticket was €17. But the Grotto has a separate admission which is €14. This caught a few people out on the day. They do take card and cash 🙂
Jo T — Google review
First time being in a cave, cool place to view. Guide tours in both Italian and English, also possible to ask questions in French. Typical tourist attraction but one definitely worth doing when in Alghero.
Yente W — Google review
Overcrowded + horrible organization 😔 The cave was beautiful, the boat ride was pleasant, and the crew was skilled and polite. For these aspects, I would give 10 out of 5 stars. However, the organization at the cave entrance was terrible. About half of our boat was overtaken by a group of around 40 German tourists. When we pointed this out, they laughed at us. When we reported it to the staff at the ticket office and the entrance, they acted as if it wasn’t their problem. The group was let in ahead of us simply because they pushed through. Considering the entrance fee wasn’t cheap, the service was very poor and irresponsible. As a result, I spent the entire cave visit worrying whether we would make it back in time for the boat, and I couldn’t enjoy the tour. I would only recommend this place to people with strong nerves.
Ivana P — Google review
The lady at the ticket office was very professional and knowledgeable. The guy at the boat entrance was rude and very unprofessional. Shouting and making hand gestures!! Boats are dated and very crowded, probably over the allowed capacity limit. Try other operators to visit the caves.

This is a trip you must do. The Grotte is a wonderful sight to see (price is completely seperate to the boat ride out and my experience is that you are told this) I have seen dolphins on 2 trips out to the Grotte and Steps. The crew on Debora are great. Very welcoming and hospitable. Coffee and refreshments are served on board ☕️
Eileen V — Google review
Absolutely dissapointing..arrived at the cave and captain said that weather is not good to park the boat. Did not even reach the entrance to see that. At that moment the waves was 0.6-0.8m. They already told while buying tickets that if weather is not good they will just swim around with the boat (like they knew that it will happen from the beginning).

Nuraghe Palmavera

Archaeological museum
Sights & Landmarks
Nuraghe Palmavera is an intriguing archaeological site in Sardinia, showcasing the stone ruins of a Bronze Age Nuragic settlement. The Nuragic civilization, indigenous to Sardinia, inhabited the island from around 2300 BC until the late Roman era. This well-preserved complex offers unique features and holds significant archaeological interest. Visitors can explore the site by car or bike, with convenient parking available. The area boasts a scenic bicycle path and quiet roads for cycling enthusiasts.
A rare opportunity to enter a fully intact nearly 4000 year nuraghe. Sit on the stone stool in the middle, close your eyes and just imagine how good life must have been like back then. The site is spectacular. These ancient people cleverly built on a hill with sea and mountain views and breezes. They ate grain, meat, fish, fruit and probably wine. They traded with other Mediterranean cultures. I love the history of Sardinia!
Lancia J — Google review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must-See in Alghero! Nuraghe Palmavera is an incredible archaeological site and definitely a must-see if you're visiting Alghero. The site is easy to access, with clear signage from the main road, and there's ample parking just a short walk away, which made the visit really convenient. The entrance fee is very reasonable, especially considering the historical significance of the site. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to share insights about the Nuragic civilisation, which really enhanced the experience. Overall, a fascinating place with great service and easy logistics—don’t miss it if you’re in the area!
Wesley S — Google review
Amazing site! The nuraghe Palmavera is a complex nuraghe made of a main tower, the most ancient (A), and a more recent building, the bastion, that was shaped with a secondary tower (B) in the most recent phase, a courtyard, a corridor with niches and a surrounding wall that encloses the most ancient tower. The last archeological researches done in the nuraghe have unearthed a third tower (C), collapsed or dismantled in ancient times, due to a probable structural failure. The upper floor of the nuraghe could have been reached by stone staircases in the main tower, on both sides of the courtyard and in the corridor, close to the East entrance of the nuraghe.

Beautiful beach with free areas. The water is crystal clear and gradually deepens, and the shore is covered with soft sand. Even on the weekend, it wasn’t too crowded.

This was a beautiful beach with clear, greenish blue water. The water gets deeper very gradually and the waves are gentle. There are some rocks for decent snorkeling on one side of the beach. There was a fenced parking lot across the street where we paid 10 Euros for all day. There was a row of parking spaces in front of the beach, but I’m not sure if they were free. Many parked along the road. There is a beach bar with nice drinks. There is a toilet behind it. Also, there are a small number of sunbeds you can rent.

Spiaggia di Mugoni

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Beach
Outdoor Activities
Spiaggia di Mugoni is a popular beach in Sardinia, near Alghero, known for its excellent snorkeling opportunities and family-friendly shallow waters. The area boasts a variety of fish species that can be easily observed with a snorkel mask. The beach features trees providing ample shade and offers comfortable sunbeds and umbrellas for relaxation. Visitors can also enjoy the amenities of the Baia di Conte Resort, which is surrounded by tranquil forests and provides a 4-star experience.
Keep your ticket EVEN after paying at the end of your day - you need it to get out the gate. Pay by cash or card AT THE END by scanning the ticket. After parking, walk to the beach and turn left. Walk along the crowded beach for 300m or so until you reach the tall tree section. Very uncrowded with natural tree shade. We were here on a Sunday and it stayed uncrowded. Water crystal clear and super panoramic view.

The beach itself is beautiful. The water is clear. But it is definitely overcrowded - the shore is long, but tight and the people are getting too close to each other, because of lack of space. If you want to go there, make sure you are there early enough, so you can find a good place for your umbrella. We got there with a bus from Alghero (9321 I think for 2.50 euro for one direction).

Our absolute favorite in northwest Sardinia. Clear shallow water, lots of fish, pine forest just behind the beach. Nice soft sand, only a few meters of pebbles when entering the sea. Free parking in September (paid in high season, I believe). The organized area is packed, but the free zones are good enough. You could also put your towel under the trees.

This is one of the best beaches in Alghero province. There is parking lot and bit a walking distance to beach, like 5 mins but then you will be surrounded by big trees 🌲 and nature while baking in the sun on the white sand beach. You can rent ⛱️🛏️ for 24 Euro: 2 beds and 1 umbrellas, which is a good price and also you can layout your own. There are plenty of bars for drinks and restaurants to eat really tasty food. I recommend to make a reservation and eat at La Niefe, it has nice natural shadow from the big trees while you have a sea view. Variety of wine and food is not that big but everything was delicious 😋

Great beach, much calmer and quieter than others in the area. If you want to get a sunbed and umbrella, you have to go early because they are few. The restaurant is very nice. Parking is convenient and close to the beach. The bay is incredibly beautiful and the water is crystal clear. I recommend it.
Stanislava G — Google review
Wonderful long narrow beach fringed with pine trees and views across the bay. Really pretty ans feels wild still. We parked under a shady tree in the free car park on the left side as you enter off the road. Beach clubs and restaurants are scattered across the beach mostly to the right side. It's minutes from the airport so was our first stop when we arrived!

Nuraghe Santu Antine

Mentioned on 
6 lists 
Historical place
Sights & Landmarks
Nuraghe Santu Antine is an ancient Sardinian stone structure that once had three floors and a 24-meter tower. It is a significant part of the island's identity, representing the ancient history of Sardinia. Located in the Sardinian countryside, this massive and silent structure offers visitors a unique glimpse into the island's past. Exploring its interior reveals unexpected hallways, staircases, and different views, making it an intriguing destination for history and architecture enthusiasts.
Vast, well preserved 3500 year old archaeological site. The ticket office (10 euros per person) has an app you can download for free, which provides you with a good guide throughout the complex in several languages. Clean restrooms, snack bar, and outdoor seating along with plenty of parking. The site itself is extensive with lots of levels and tunnels to explore. Well lit in dark areas. Marvelous vistas of the surrounding valley.

Very interesting historical landmark; we had no idea it could be so cute. It felt like a labyrinth. Very well kept and intriguing. Guided tours and audio guides are recommended.
Cristina P — Google review
Quite simply the finest Nuragic site we visited (and we visited five) while in Sardinia. Absolutely fascinating. And the bucolic setting intensifies the mystic effect of the surrounding hills. Well worth a few hours to visit. Also, don't forget to stop by the little restaurant attached to the ticket office for some antipasti and wine. All in all, a beautiful day out.

Fantastic place. Must be the best preserved Nuraghe in Sardinia.
Andrew F — Google review
A beautifully preserved Nuraghe in the Logudoro region of Sardinia ( Northwest). The site is well organised for individual or group tours, with a ticket office/souvenir shop, a bar with snacks and hot and cold drinks, and public restrooms. The full price ticket is 8€, which is fair since it goes to the maintenance expenses. You can take a walk all around and inside the Nuraghe, up to the top terrace, which offers an astounding view of the valley. There is no wheelchair nor assisted access to the upper levels, that you can reach by a very steep and tall set of stone steps, so keep this in mind when you visit. There are informative panels all around, to explain the history and architecture of the site.
Margherita D — Google review
this one is a small but almost fully intact Nuraghe you can find on the island. the ticket price of 10€ can feel expensive but worth a visit if you are in the area. No guided tours were offered on site according to the receptionist at the ticket counter but I saw a group with a guide speaking in Italian. Probably organised tour group. Self explanatory place and shouldn't take more than 30min.

Spiaggia di Porto Ferro

Public beach
Outdoor Activities
Spiaggia di Porto Ferro is a renowned beach in Sardinia, known for being one of the island's most extensive nudist beaches. It was officially designated as a nudist beach in 2018 and offers specific areas for naturist visitors. The beach features a 200-meter stretch of tiny coves beyond the stone tower at the end of the beach, providing privacy for nudist sunbathing.
What a great atmosphere! It’s like moving back in time into the 60s! Freedom, peace, love and beautiful people as well as one of the best sunset spots we’ve been to. There’s a rocky part and there’s a good stretch of reddish sand. It’s nicely nested in a deep bay, resulting in spectacular views. There’s a bar and griglieria, working as a co op, so the prices are great and their food is really nice, make sure to bring some money as you can buy some ethnic jewellery, tie dye or batik fabrics and lots of other treasures! It was, by far, our favourite beach.

A very nice, a bit wild, dog friendly beach with 2 nice Bars, cafes at the south end. Soft sand and shallow water. No life guard. Loved this place.
TKD T — Google review
Beautiful, wild beach with golden clear water, and a natural vibe. We visited with our dog and it was absolutely perfect plenty of space, no stress, and our four legged friend had the time of his life running around and splashing in the water. It’s not overly crowded, and the surrounding landscape is stunning. Great spot for nature lovers, peaceful walks, and laid-back beach days. Highly recommended for dog owners. This place truly feels welcoming and free. One warning: the parking situation feels like a trap. There’s no clear information, and yet fines are handed out like candy. The beach is fantastic — but the parking enforcement is a joke. Pay attention, or you’ll pay for it.
Miron D — Google review
Pretty nice beach for being free. A good break from having to pay so much for others. There was plenty of space on the beach area and lots of room to swim. The parking lot is a bit trashy but you don't swim in the parking lot. There's about a 400 meter walk to the beach from the parking lot which is not biggie. Just letting you know in case you plan on bringing a bunch of stuff. Enjoy!

Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
The Church of the Holy Trinity Saccargia is a remarkable Romanesque church constructed in 1116 on the grounds of an ancient monastery. Its striking appearance, with alternating white limestone and black basalt, stands out against the picturesque green hills that surround it. This Tuscan-Romanesque-style structure is entirely crafted from local stone and represents one of the most significant Romanesque monuments on the island.
Such an amazing sight on a hill beside the road. Well worth stopping and paying a few euro to see the frescos and statues inside.
Maree A — Google review
Basilica of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia took us by surprise on our road from Palau to Alghero Airport. We didn.t know about it, but it looked stunning so we had to stop. Visiting it, we found out that is one of the most important romanesque sites in the island, beeing constructed entirely in local stone since 1116. Just wow.

We visited this place on the route from San Teodoro to Alghero and I must admit that it was worth it. It is one of the most important Romanesque monuments on the island. The structure is entirely made of local stone, with a typical Tuscan Romanesque appearance. Visiting for a small fee inside is possible from April to the end of October. Inside of the church is a small souvenir shop, and a cafe near the parking where we can drink coffee and eat a croissant.

Piazza d'Italia is a bustling town square located in the heart of Sassari, featuring impressive classic architecture and several shops and restaurants. The surrounding buildings date back to the late 19th century, showcasing grandiose styles typical of Italy's post-unification era. Visitors can enjoy a variety of dining options in the square or nearby cafes, especially during evenings when the area comes alive with locals dressed in their finest attire.
Beautiful architecture surrounded by quaint narrow cobblestoned streets steeped in history. Not overcrowded end of Sept!

Piazza d'Italia is the main square of Sassari. it is dominated by the neo-Classical Palazzo della Provincia. There are plenty of places to enjoy a drink and admire the surroundings. It comes alive at night. Maybe it's just me but the square just seemed too polished and modern and didn't really impress.
David S — Google review
Piazza d'Italia in Sassari, Sardinia, has won my heart with its captivating charm and lively atmosphere. I had a delightful experience here, and I'm excited to share my thoughts. Nestled in the heart of Sassari, this picturesque square boasts a wonderful selection of restaurants, offering a diverse culinary experience that caters to all tastes. From traditional Italian dishes to international cuisines, you'll find something to satisfy your cravings. The variety of dining options nearby is definitely a big plus! What truly sets Piazza d'Italia apart is the enchanting ambiance it exudes. The vibrant atmosphere is enhanced by the lively sounds of music, creating a delightful backdrop as you stroll through the square. It's the perfect spot to unwind and soak in the local culture while enjoying a pleasant evening with friends or loved ones. However, I'm giving it four stars instead of five due to the occasional overcrowding during peak hours, which can make it a bit challenging to find a comfortable seating spot. Nonetheless, the overall experience was still enjoyable and worth a visit. If you're looking for a lively and gastronomically rich destination in Sassari, Piazza d'Italia is the place to be. Whether you're a food enthusiast or simply love immersing yourself in the local vibes, this charming gem is sure to leave you with lasting memories.

This is most likely the largest and most central square in Sassari. Many of the buildings surrounding it are from the late 19th century, done in a grandiose style by a re-emerging Italy after the unification of the country in 1870. There are many restaurants, eateries and cafés on the square and in the vicinity. The square comes alive in the evening.

Catholic cathedral

The Cattedrale di San Nicola is a medieval Romanesque cathedral that boasts a later baroque facade, as well as Gothic and neoclassical features. Its left side showcases an intriguing blend of architectural styles due to the building's 600-year construction period which features elements from Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Neoclassical eras. The elaborate frontal design is impressive but visitors should not neglect exploring the rest of the cathedral.

Churches are not exactly an endangered species in Italy. After a while the memory of visiting one gets mixed up with the memory of visiting another. Except here. The Duomo boasts some seriously impressive architecture. Outside the huge Spanish baroque-style facade is breathtaking. Inside the church is divided into numerous chapels, each has a description in both Italian and English. The highlight of a visit to Sassari.
David S — Google review
The left side of the cathedral is perhaps the most interesting aspect of this building because it reveals several architectural styles. Since it took 600 years to complete, the cathedral mixes Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassical elements. The ornate facade will not fail to impress, but don't let it stop you from checking out the rest of the building.

Wild Asinara Park, situated in Sassari, Italy, offers a unique and awe-inspiring experience for nature lovers. The park boasts stunning scenery and untamed wilderness that will leave visitors amazed and excited. Crystal-clear waters surround the island, while donkeys, goats, and horses roam freely across the landscape. Exploring the island on a guided tour by jeep or bike is highly recommended to fully appreciate its natural beauty.
We had an amazing day on this 4X4 tour of the beautiful Island of Asinara. After the trip being cancelled due to bad weather, Giuliana moved heaven and earth to take us on a different day before our holiday ended! She was the perfect guide (as well as a beautiful person), extremely knowledgeable and you could tell she has a deep respect and love for this wonderful place. She has a great level of English (a lot of guides we had around Sardinia did not), and was able to answer all my questions, giving so much information, not only about Asinara, but talking about places and the history of Sardinia in general. She took us around the whole island, showing us all the best places, including the turtle sanctuary and also a secluded cove where we had time to swim and snorkel, absolutely spectacular, and of course we got to see the albino donkeys! Going by 4X4 gave us the opportunity to go off road and see wild horses and goats, and also some beautiful landscapes that other visitors were not able to do. I would highly recommend this tour, it is definitely the best way to visit this fantastic national park and it was the perfect last day to our amazing trip in Sardinia. Thank you Wild Asinara Park, and a special thank you to you Giuliana for a brilliant tour, you are welcome in Spain anytime!

(Translated by Google) Fabulous place, uncontaminated and rich in every type of flora and especially fauna, I don't think I have ever seen more beautiful seaside places in my life, even though I went in August, there were a maximum of 50/60 people on the whole island, I highly recommend it (Original) Posto favoloso, incontaminato e ricco di ogni tipo di flora e soprattutto fauna, non credo di aver visto mai in vita mia posti di mare più belli, nonostante sia andato ad agosto, c'erano massimo 50/60 persone in tutta l'isola, lo consiglio vivamente

(Translated by Google) Beautiful park surrounded by nature, it is easy to meet wild animals and the beaches are wonderful. If you decide to visit it by bike it is recommended to do so only if you are well trained, there are many climbs. (Original) Bellissimo parco immerso nella natura, è facile incontrare animali selvatici e le spiagge sono stupende se si decide di visitarlo in bici è consigliato farlo solo se ben allenati, ci sono molte salite.

Spiaggia di Ezzi Mannu

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
Beach
Outdoor Activities
Spiaggia di Ezzi Mannu is a hidden gem nestled between the municipalities of Stintino and Sassari, offering an idyllic escape from the bustling tourist hotspots of Northern Sardinia. This expansive two-kilometer stretch of beach features stunning emerald waters and unique quartz sand that invites visitors to lay down their towels without feeling cramped. Unlike more popular beaches, Ezzi Mannu provides a serene atmosphere where you can enjoy the gentle breeze and crystal-clear water in peace.
Excellent beach. A lot of people in the organized area but also a lot of free space (unfortunately not cleaned of algae and grass, as it is always in Sardinia). Free parking, easier to find a place than on neighbouring Pazzona.

Nice beach without many people like on LaPelosa. It’s very clean with small bar available. We were here end of May and nothing to pay for the parking, not sure about the prices of umbrellas as we hit the day very there has been some issue with lifeguard so we couldn’t rent any (not sue the dependency of having or rather not little shadow on the beach vs lifeguard missing). The entrance to the water is deeper quickly (1.2m - 1.3m deep with few steps) however water is crystal clear, some small rocks st the bottom so good for snorkeling. The beach is sandy however this white places are mini stones. Not an issue but kids are not too happy 🤷🏻‍♂️ other than that it’s great.

Very beautiful beach is an incredible atmosphere, clean spacious, enough space for everyone! Crystal clear water, there is a very beautiful cafe you can take sun loungers for the day, delicious cuisine, very fragrant cappuccino. We had a great day with my family. 10 out of 10🌞

The beach is just magical, yes it is wild mostly, but there is a bar, toilet, and not so many people as on la pelosa. And no need to pay for the beach and book in advance . Beautiful granular Pebble white in color. It was unforgettable

One of our favorite beaches! Sandy and pebbly but it doesnt hurt the feet, clear beautiful waters, lots of space as it is a long coast and free parking so close.
Patricia M — Google review
Beautiful white small pebble and sand beach with totally clear crystal water. Ignore the ugly power station 5 miles further along as it does not affect the quality of the beach or water. Following the signs one feel like you are driving into the back yard of a farm but this is the entrance to the beach. When you reach the beach car parking area continue driving to the right until you find a less crowded section. There is a lot of car parking space and you are right behind the beach itself. Exit is up a dirt hill and out on another road so there are no traffic issues between arriving and leaving. The beach is busy but you can find space and enjoy a beautiful place
Ian F — Google review
Cristal clear water. The beach is packed in August, but it’s still relatively easy to find yout place. A free parking nearby.
Maciej T — Google review
Doesn’t live up to the hype. The beach itself could be stunning, but the experience is spoiled by trash scattered everywhere, bottles, wrappers, sigarette filters, you name it. Felt more like a recycling depot than a seaside escape. Such a waste of what should be a beautiful spot.

Spiaggia Pazzona is a hidden gem that offers an enchanting escape into nature. This stunning beach features smooth, rounded white pebbles instead of traditional sand, creating a unique and picturesque setting. The water here is exceptionally clear and clean, resembling a sparkling pool—perfect for snorkeling enthusiasts eager to explore the underwater world. Visitors can enjoy free parking conveniently located right by the beach, making it easy to access this tranquil spot.
Lovely beach with white sand which gives water a beautiful colour. Plenty of free parking next to the beach. Bars are very expensive, so I would recommend bringing your own drinks and food. Bad points: the car park and about 2km of the road are very dusty,

Beautiful white small pebble beach with crystal blue water and very quiet for mid July! Be aware of the ‘dirt path’ which was a lot more off roading than we expected! watch out for rocks! Lots of parking down by the beach and small kiosk for food and drink! Beautiful beach and a much quieter spot than the main beaches in Stintino

Stella P — Google review
The beach is very nice, with small white pebbles and crystal clear water. For the aesthetics I would rate it with 5 stars. But it is quite crowded with people, many of them speaking loudly and some even with the music boxes. This isn't a beach where you can enjoy the sounds of the ocean and the wind. Also the people selling stuff on the beach are quite annoying, waking you up every 10 minutes.

Beautiful crystal clear water full of life - best place for snorkeling. Many bays with pebble beaches you can choose from. Very private, very natural with almost no people in the high season.

This idyllic stretch of white sand boasts crystal-clear turquoise waters, making it perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and leisurely beach strolls. The serene atmosphere is complemented by the presence of a historic medieval watchtower that stands sentinel over the landscape.
The most beautiful beach I have ever seen. You will need to make a reservation and bring mats which are mandatory
Natalia U — Google review
Very pretty, but very expensive and full of people. First row 50 (2 chairs and 1 umbrella) other rows 45. It’s very very full and very very beautiful. Depends on the kind of trip you are doing. And if you enter the website at 8 it’s almost sure you can buy. Parking paid, saw many people getting tickets on the way out, so pay for the hours you are going to stay.
Camila P — Google review
Overall experience was a 3/5. What is good: - view and the sea was just so beautiful and a must see for sure What is bad: - parking is quite expensive (paid 15€ for 4h) - you need to put a mat below your beach towel - reserving is a bit stressful (tickets are very popular and so you should reserve by 8am (or 9am when the not fulfilled reservations get back online)) - place is super crowded; it is really hard to relax there - windy place; be prepared for flying sun umbrellas (so better get a anker for your umbrella)
Sebastian K — Google review
Sure the water is beautiful, but you have to share it with hundreds of other people. Way too crowded. I thought that needing to make a reservation and pay ahead of time that they limited the number of people but that's not the case. We stayed the whole day to get our money's worth, but the beach was too crowded. There are beaches that are just as beautiful, free, and not full of people. Highly overrated.
Cassia G — Google review
Beautiful beach with fine white sand and turquoise water. The views are amazing, and the sea is crystal clear — perfect for swimming and relaxing.
Anisoara R — Google review
This is one of the most popular beaches in Sardinia. The water is clean and transparent. We went off-season (mid-October) and were positively surprised that they don`t charge for parking now. Better arrive early in the morning because an hour later the parking was almost full. The weather in October turned out to be perfect for beach time - less crowds and more parking space. Another positive surprise is that they did not charge us for a beach towel mat - there was no one to look after this. Also being off-season we did not have to make a reservation and just popped-up. The beach is suitable for families with children - no waves, calm water. Totally recommend but come here in October.
Яна Т — Google review
Super crowded, and impossible to find parking after 10:30 am, even in late September, on a weekday. This is a "fake" beach where social validation, digital culture, and identity performance is the main attraction. By the way, you'll need to make reservations a month in advance. Parking is super expensive, if you can find any spaces. This is your typical Instagram scam. That being said, the water is clear and shallow, a perfect swimming pool. Come here early to enjoy it. Oh, no reservations required if you're not planning to lie on the sandy beach.
Diego G — Google review
One of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. The water is so blue and tranquil. Plan ahead to either get a full day pass 7 days in advance which allows you to enter the beach at anytime on the day(s) you previously selected. Alternatively, you can obtain a QR code 48-hour in advance, however, you must enter during a specific time. You will also need to pay for parking which accepts credit cards. Plan in advance and you will absolutely enjoy your time here.

Roccia dell'Elefante

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Roccia dell'Elefante, also known as Elephant Rock, is a remarkable natural formation located along state road 134 in the Castelsardo area of Sardinia. This large rust-colored boulder, about four meters high, bears a striking resemblance to a seated elephant. Not only is it an intriguing sight to behold, but it also holds archaeological significance as it contains two ancient Fairy Houses used for burial rituals thousands of years ago.
From the right angle the rock really looks like an elephant, but if you check it around is losing its magic😂 Is an interesting rock. Honestly the view behind it was spectacular. All the green hills were wonderful. But I think that was because we visited in April - I guess the rest of the year its all yellow from the heat.
Andreea D — Google review

It's pretty cool for a short stop before Castalsardo. But be careful because sometimes it likes to dance around. 😉🐘

Great views and rich history, just a bit touristy Castello dei Doria offers breathtaking views over Castelsardo and the sea—especially impressive on a clear day. The walk up through the old town is steep but beautiful. The castle itself is well preserved and has an interesting weaving museum inside. It can feel a bit touristy and crowded during peak times, but overall it’s a very worthwhile stop if you’re exploring the area.

(Translated by Google) Discovered and renovated not long ago, the crypts are of interest for their originality and for the works they contain, notably a reclining virgin from 1300, an altarpiece from 1400, a very rare reproduction from the 15th century. of the imprint of Jesus' face on his shroud, and a painting by the Master of Castelsardo representing God supporting Jesus on the cross, which is quite rare. (Original) Découvertes et aménagées il n'y a pas longtemps, les cryptes présentent un intérêt par leur originalité et par les œuvres qu'elles contiennent, notamment une vierge couchée de 1300, un retable de 1400, une reproduction très rare XVeme s. de l'empreinte du visage de Jésus sur son linceul, et un tableau du Maître de Castelsardo représentant Dieu supportant Jésus sur la croix, ce qui est assez rare.

Again, treasures never seen before and stories never heard before. But above all, once again Martina who welcomed us in the crypt and her colleague in the church, but also Stefania from the Episcopio witchcraft and inquisition museum who fortunately redirected us at the end of the visit towards the MAP of Perfugas... All so prepared , attentive, smiling and passionate. Women Power 💕 (Original) Ed eccoci qua. Chiesa e cripta, e tanto altro da vedere per cui consiglio biglietto cumulativo in modo da visitare tutto-tutto. Anche in questo caso tesori mai visti prima e storie mai sentite prima.
