It is in Santa Teresa Gallura which is a small town in the north with a view of Corsica and an array of stunning beaches and inlets on 3 sides. Rena Bianca the local beach is idyllic. The town is small enough to be relaxed and friendly but has all the amenities you need. The Sardinians are intent on maintaining the very traditional Italian way of life with no high rise and strict control of developments near the coast.
Sardinia is a large island, 4.5 hrs drive from north to south with many distinct regions. Santa Teresa is the northerly most looking at the Corsican cliffs.It is at the western extent of the Costa Smeralda which is regarded as one of the most exclusive tourist areas in the Mediterranean.
