Location
The apartment is in a peaceful area, but close to many of the amenities of Stintino. There is a supermarket just 2 minutes away, and a range of restaurants for all budgets. For more self-catering options Stintino’s weekly market on Thursday morning, Piazza dei 45, (3 minutes drive) is a treasure trove of fresh local produce.

There is a wide choice of spectacular beaches on the Stintino Peninsula. The most famous is La Pelosa (10 minutes). If you are looking for somewhere quieter, there are plenty of others to choose from.

Asinara Island is a short boat trip from the Marina di Stintino (3 minutes drive). The island is a protected national park so visitors will need to arrange a tour with a registered operator. There are many beautiful hikes on the island, bicycle tours or horse riding treks, plus unspoilt beaches. It makes a wonderful day out.

The fascinating city of Sassari (40 minutes) is one of the oldest cities on the island. Its historic centre is home to many palaces and fine churches but it is less touristy than many other towns on the island.

Alghero airport is 45 minutes away. If you are arriving by ferry, Porto Torres (30 minutes) has boats from Marseille, Barcelona, Genoa, Livorno or Corsica.
