Stintino, Sardinia

Villa Pedra is a short walk from Stintino.

The enchanting old fishing village of Stintino stretches over two inlets with two harbours: the old marina named “minori” (Sardinian for small) and the new named “mannu” (Sardinian for large). During the summer season there are many forms of entertainment for the tourists and the locals, in particular the Latin Sail Regatta that takes place at the end of August. The museum of the Tonnara (capture of tuna technique) located on the new harbour is worth a visit. The beaches are the main attraction of Stintino, “La Pelosa Beach” is the most famous and with no doubt one of the most beautiful beaches in Sardinia, facing the island of Asinara with crystalline water and very fine white sand. The other beaches in the area that must be visited are “La Pelosetta”, “Le Saline”, “Ezzi Mannu”, and for the lovers of the rocky coastline Capo Falcone is a must.

The main traditional events are the Rural Festival of Saint Isidoro in May, the Tuna Festival in June, the Latin Sail Regatta on the last week-end of August and the Patron celebrations in honour of the Blessed Mary of Defence in September.

For the lovers of sports there is a large celection of activities, from diving, sailing and windsurfing to quad bikes, trekking and mountain-biking excursions.

To get there from the centre of Porto Torres, turn left just before the port and follow the signposts to Stintino. From national route SS131, go to Stintino and before entering the town turn left and drive west to Stintino.

Why Holiday in Sardinia?

A very eye catching island, Sardinia has had great historic and strategic importance. Every Mediterranean power has controlled the island at one time—Romans, Phoenicians, Spaniards, Turks, even a pope. The northern coast of present-day Sardinia is a favourite vacation spot of Italy's extremely wealthy.

The island has a number of attractions: wild horses, flamingos, nun seals, great fishing, mountain climbing, Roman ruins, sailing, reef diving, water skiing, grottoes (the best is Grotta Nuova, near Cala Gonone on the east coast), and tranquil sandy or rocky beaches. Must-sees include the pink sand at Porto Ferro, the typically Sardinian town of Nuoro, Oristano (ruins of the Phoenician city Tharros), the Goddess of Fortune Temple in Porto Torres, Cagliari (the island's capital and largest city, with a good archaeological museum) and Su Nuraxi Nuraghe (an impressive Nuraghic fortress, north of Cagliari). The town of Olbia is the gateway to the exclusive Emerald Coast (Costa Smeralda), one of Europe's most important resort areas as it contains sites that span 3,000 years of history.

Direct flights go to Cagliari (in the south), Olbia (in the north east) or Alghero (on the north west). We have indicated the most convenient airport against each property, but the island is relatively small with decent roads.
