Gallura Sardinia

“This land resembles no other place” (ref. D.H. Lawrence – poet and English dramatist from the beginning of the XXth century).

Badesi is located in northern extremity of Gallura (Gaddùra in the language of Galllura, Caddùra in Sardinian), it consists of the north-east area of Sardinia.
Gallura offers to the visitor the best combination between climate and environment, landscape and history, cooking, folklore and handicraft of the whole Sardinia, a perfect alchemy between country, seaside, antique traditions and unique food and wine itineraries.
The inner part of Gallura is charming, with magnificent gentle hills, the scent of arbutus, mastic, myrtle and, skilfully spread here and there, rustic and precious “stazzis” (antique shepherd residences made of granite and juniper) who enrich the turistical itineraries of Gallura through age-old olive groves and verdant vineyards, cork oak woods and typical granitic rocks.

And that’s not all… It is enough to take a few kilometres to reach the varied and enchanting coast, meritly inserted in the top destinations of international turism, thanks to the stunning nuances of the sea, the endless white sandy beaches (with facilities and frequented by jet-set or wild and beaten by the northern winds) and the small quartz coves that alternate with major islands, granite formations and small fjords.

In the summertime the suggestive beaches and the Caribbean sea are the main pole of attraction, during the rest of the year a wide variety of proposals are offered, from excursions (hiking, biking or horseback riding) to sailing sports (surf, kite surf, sailing) and underwater sports, adding to artisan/traditional events and food and wine itineraries also– why not? – thermal tourism to complete a high quality tourism offer which aims at well-being and psychophysical body care.
