San Pantaleo, Olbia

Unique Location

Centrally situated high up on a hill in Gallura, with two access routes: a 1 km winding track, mostly tarmac, leading up the hill from the Olbia side, and another beautiful 3.8 km unpaved nature trail through a kind of unspoilt nature reserve to and from Arzachena and San Pantaleo.

20 minutes from the harbour and 25 minutes from Olbia Airport, less than half an hour from various beaches such as Rena Bianca, Liscia Ruja, Celvia, Capriccioli, Spiaggia del Principe, Pevero, Romazzino, Baja Sardinia, Cannigione, Pittulongu and Marinella, plus various attractions.

9 kilometres from the artistic, authentic and charming village of San Pantaleo, which attracts visitors with its activities, architecture and reputation. All essential amenities such as a chemist’s, bar, post office and small supermarket, complemented by numerous bars, restaurants and shops.

Close to the famous Costa Smeralda, with a trendy and lively international atmosphere in high season, famous boutiques, a well-known golf course, various clubs and nightlife venues. Here, however, you can enjoy complete privacy and tranquillity in a protected nature reserve where new development is strictly limited. Only under specific conditions – for example, in conjunction with a larger agricultural development such as an ‘azienda agricola’ – are there still limited opportunities for expansion.

An ideal base for a variety of excursions, including boat trips and visits to ports such as Porto Rotondo, Golfo Aranci, Portisco, Porto Cervo, Olbia and Porto San Paolo for Tavolara, and of course Cannigione and Palau for visits to the UNESCO-listed Maddalena area.

An easy base for exploring the Gallura hinterland, with wonderful nature excursions to Lake Liscia, olive groves and cork forests, museums and charming, lesser-known villages with an authentic atmosphere and a slower pace of life, such as Luogosanto and many villages towards Tempio.

An ideal base for further excursions, such as Cala Luna and other calettes, the Gorropu Gorge, the Grotta di Nettuno, Alghero, Bosa, Santa Teresa, Sassari and even Corsica.
