Pittulongu is a community situated just 10 minutes north along the coast from Olbia. Characterised by its 1.5km long sandy beach Lido di Pittulongu, or referred to by the locals as Mama Beach, taking the name of one of our favorite restaurants. We have all the amenities that you will need for a successful holiday, great beaches, beautiful crystal clear sea, local food shops, and a good selection of bars and restaurants along the beach. The location is ideal as a base for exploring the unspoilt interior of the island, the mountains and the many archaeological remains, whilst the glamour of the Costa Smeralda and the artist village of San Panteleo are only a 20 minute drive away. Available locally are facilities for cycling, trekking, horseback riding, tennis, beach volley ball, sub-aqua, windsurfing, kite sailing and boat hire. We have the advantage of having Olbia close by, with a good selection of larger shops, a wide range of restaurants, and bars, along with its archaeological museum, roman and nuraghi remains. Unlike many other holiday areas along the coast this is a year round community, so if you do choose to holiday ‘out of season’ you do not have to worry that amenities are closed.
The centre piece of our properties spectacular views are towards the smallest Kingdom in the world…Isola Tavolara. This majestic island is actually a limestone mountain rising from the sea to 1640ft, and is home to Sardinian moufflon sheep. Although the sea around the island is protected by a marine reserve, you can visit the island in July and August, via a regular boat service from either Olbia or Porto Pollo. On the island there are a couple of restaurants, and a small harbour.
Enjoy the changing island from the terraces at breakfast, lunch & dinner. Watch how the island changes colour during the day and into the evening. Notice how the clouds collect on its peak, like a ‘hat’.
