Overview

This is an introduction to Sardinia, to the province of Olbia and to the Costa Smeralda. We’ll start from the Olbia area to arrive at a panoramic point near Golfo Aranci to admire the spectacular view of the island of Tavolara and Figarolo. After we’ll visit the resort of Portorotondo, once the port of the granite for the Romans, now the meeting place of the Italian elite, decorated by many works of important artists. Then, we’ll go up to the picturesque village of San Pantaleo set between peaks of granite. This little old town still retains the typical style of the ancient villages of Gallura. Next, we will go to Costa Smeralda with its capital Porto Cervo, where we will visit La Piazza, the Old Port and the church of Stella Maris. At the end, after Baja Sardinia, we will visit Forte Capellini, which in the XIX century was an important fortress dedicated to the defense of north Sardinia, but now, under the name of Phi beach, is one of the most fashionable disco of the Costa Smeralda.

Porto Rotondo

PORTO ROTONDO, south of Porto Cervo, is one of the most important tourist destinations for the Italian and international elite. Situated around an almost circular natural bay, called by the locals “Poltu Ritundu”, it was founded by the Venetian counts Nicolò and Luigi Donà delle Rose in 1964. The vision of the two brothers was that PORTOROTONDO would become a “milieu” of artists and intellectuals, and the first to respond to the invitation were the sculptors Andrea Cascella and Giancarlo Sangregorio, then came Mario Ceroli, Renato Guttuso, Emanuel Chapalain and many others. All have helped make PORTO ROTONDO one of the most elegant and picturesque vacation villages in the Mediterranean.

San Pantaleo

Twelve kilometers from the glamour and luxury of Costa Smeralda, there is another world, the picturesque village of SAN PANTALEO. Set between peaks of granite, this little old town still retains the typical style of the villages of Gallura. In 1894 the shepherd inhabitants asked the bishop of Tempio Pausania for a religious and social centre and the pretty church, dedicated to SAN PANTALEO, was constructed. Since the seventies, a large group of artists have lived in the village, attracted by its timeless atmosphere and informality, far from the worldliness of the Costa Smeralda. Painters, potters and sculptors from all over Europe have created a bohemian community in SAN PANTALEO, working alongside an active group of Galluran artisans, skilled in handicrafts using wood, wrought iron, terracotta and ceramic. Every Thursday morning, there is a craft and food market, an unmissable opportunity to buy interesting pieces of art and fine local produce.

Porto Cervo

PORTO CERVO is the capital of COSTA SMERALDA, the most prestigious resort in Europe. It was created in 1963 by a group of international investors, like the Aga Khan, Patrik Guiness, etc. Since its origin, it was designed to be the meeting place of the world's élite. For this reason, the best architects available in Europe at the time were invited to design this resort: Michele Busiri Vici ( church Stella Maris, Hotel Romazzino), Jacques Couelle ( Hotel Cala di Volpe ), Pierluigi Vietti ( Hotel Pitrizza ) and many others. They made a world revolution in architecture, changing forever the relationship between the buildings and their environment, imposing the idea that these two elements have to stay together, in harmony, in a natural way.

Porto Rafael

Porto Rafel was created by the Spanish count Rafael Neville in 1960, and it is probably one of the oldest touristic resorts in Sardinia. Porto Rafael ever since has been the meeting place of the European aristocracy, a quiet but very charming place. It stands in front of the so-called “Nelson Bay” a place where the famous British admiral kept his fleet before going to the battle of Trafalgar.

Nuraghe la Prisgiona

The nuraghe La Prisciona is one of the biggest nuraghi in this area. The “nuraghe” is a kind of prehistoric castle or fortress built in the Bronze Age ( 3800 – 3000 years ago ). In Sardinia we have more than 7000 of them, and this makes the island the region with the greatest number of prehistoric monuments in Europe. The ticket, not included in this tour, costs 4 Euro for the Nuraghe La Prisciona and 3 Euro for the “Tomb of Giants” Coddu Ecchju” ( a particular evolution of the Dolmens with a gigantic stone door in the front of it). If you are not interested we can skip this visit.
