Authenticity

This ancient pastel coloured fisherman’s village has kept its authenticity for hundreds of years. It is situated between the old port, Porto Vecchio where the fishing boats come back to harbour and Porto Nuovo, the Tourist Marina.

In Stintino you can still see the old sea captains meeting in the village "piazza", gossiping about everyday life or sitting around in the sun at the corners of Lungomare Colombo, Stintino's "Promenade". The walk along the village beach between the old and the new port is delightful.

The restaurant Lu Fanali, situated by the Lungomare, is one of a few places where aperitifs are served on the veranda by the sea in the summer. La Darsena is another restaurant where supper is served on the terrace overlooking the sea.

Excursions To Asinara Island

Asinara Island … an untouched paradise of unimaginable beauty. It has now become a National Park with white beaches and rare fauna. It is also home to the only race of small albino donkeys in the world. It is also the perfect spot for scuba diving.

Untouched nature. Nature has been particularly generous with Stintino - the sea is the colour of the most transparent sapphire and the sand is white: La Pelosa beach and Le Saline frame Stintino. The long Saline Beach is connected to ancient salt pans, which are home to the many elegant pink flamingos during their migrating months.

During the highest of summer, there is a beach which remains undiscovered, Rena Grande (near the small hamlet of Pozzo San Nicola) at Villaggio Nurra. An unforgettable place with incredibly clean water with white round pebbles (no sand).

Ezzi Mannu is also a nice beach, with a wooden kiosk, less known than La Pelosa, it has a romantic feeling about it.  Perfect for a late afternoon swim or during the day, tucked away as it is it has always less people.

Exquisite Restaurants And Fresh Fish

Stintino's roots lie in a seafaring culture consisting of daily fishing and the big seasonal tuna fishing. As daily fishing is one of the main economic sources of Stintino, this guarantees fresh fish and unique lobster dishes!

There are many restaurants, which serve excellent food, specializing in lobsters and sea urchins. La Pelosetta is one of them. A place to eat whilst listening to the waves and looking at the sun going down at la Pelosa beach.

Behind Capo Falcone on the north West Coast the cliffs of the open sea reflect the wild beauty of this land. Long walks are an inviting prospect given the beautiful untouched countryside.
