Villa Farfalla, Capo Coda Cavallo - Sardinia

San Teodoro is a popular seaside resort located approximately thirty kilometers south from Olbia's harbour and airport. There are many shops, restaurants, bars and clubs and during the high season there’s a night market as well. It is one of the most popular tourist centers in Baronia, the countryside south of the capital of the Costa Smeralda. And there is a reason for: the sea, the beach and the surroundings of San Teodoro are beautiful and versatile!
If you want to experience the Sardinian Caribbean feeling, you can go to the of Lu Impostu, Cala Brandinchi, Cala d'Ambra and the dream beach Isuledda. But one thing at a time: the beach of San Teodoro is called La Cinta. Endlessly long and snow white and quite popular in high season. In the summer there are rows of colorful umbrellas in front of the dunes because the beach is a popular meeting place for young people and water sports enthusiasts. La Cinta is one of the few beaches in the northeast of the island where windsurfing and kite surfing are possible. The beach is an ideal spot for surfers due to winds from Mistral and Scirocco. Surf and kite schools cater to international guests.
Lu Impostu is located north of San Teodoro. A narrow strip of light, very fine sand is surrounded by a small pine forest and dunes. To the south, a beautiful lagoon separates the beach access at Puntaldia. This bay is one of the classics when it comes to the most beautiful beaches in Sardinia. The wonderfully shallow sandy beach of Cala Brandinchi offers a pure Caribbean feel that can only be accessed via Capo Coda Cavallo .
The beaches south of San Teodoro are also worth to visit. The bay "Cala d'Ambra" is the sun and party beach of San Teodoro because there are several Clubhotels and a disco's that are known all over the island. Isuledda is an another dream bay, a true picture postcard idyll and rarely crowded even in high season. San Teodoro's dog beach is called Costa Caddu and offers fine pebbles and the advantage that dogs and their owners can swin and dig all year round without disturbing.
In addition to numerous restaurants, ice cream parlors and pizzerias, San Teodoro is especially popular for the nightlife in the numerous pubs and discotheques and an extensive range of leisure activities in the city center. From the beginning of July to mid-September, from approximately 8:00 pm to 2:00 am, artists, artisans, goldsmiths and delicatessen stands offer their goods at a beautifully crafted night market, the Coclearia Mercatino Serale.
Despite the many entertainment options, the atmosphere in San Teodoro is otherwise fairly calm and pleasant. The holiday resorts consist of well-kept houses and gardens, interrupted by small piazzas with olive and palm trees where you can relax. In the nearby granite mountains of Monte Nieddu, ancient holm oak forests, yew forests and waterfalls attract visitors. Also one of the few canyoning routes in Sardinia - the narrow granite gorge of the Rio Pitrisconi with its water basins and swimming pools and steep climbing walls - can be found here.
