Location | Stintino

In the north of the island , about 40 Km from Alghero the most popular of the resorts in Sardinia. Originally a small fishing village right on the sea, we find all that it takes to make a perfect holiday: supermarket, local handcraft, shops of all kinds, various night life offers and discos. Stintino stretches north of the Nurra region, opposite the island of l’Asinara, the whole ensemble mixes picturesque with the practicalities necessary for receiving the great flux of visitors.

Stintino was founded in 1885 by the 45 families of fishermen who had been sent away from the island of the Asinara which had been chosen to become a penal colony and a sanitary quarantine station. The place is renowned for the very white sand and the exceptional colour of the sea, the beaches are called ‘La Pelosa and le Saline.

 

How to get to Sardinia

The airports of Cagliari, Olbia, Alghero and Tortoli (on a seasonal basis) are connected daily  and directly to the national and european airports.
The main sardinian sea ports are Olbia, Cagliari, Golfo Aranci, Porto Torres and Arbatax.   They can be reached from the following italian ports: Civitavecchia, Livorno, Genova, Napoli, Piombino .By train the various airports are connected to the maritime ports. There are also coaches but they do not cover all the routes, this is true also for  Sardinia and we advise car rental as the  best way to visit the island .
There is no true motorway in Sardinia but the nearest to it is the SS131 or the Carlo Felice , its old name which cuts the island in half, north to south from Cagliari, to Oristano,Nuoro, Sassari and Olbia. The SS130 goes from Cagliari to the south. The other roads are municipal and  provincial, the roads generally are good , though narrow at this level.
