Stintino is a location that captivates with its natural beauty and the charm of its crystal-clear sea. The area offers not only the famous Pelosa beach but also other hidden gems like La Pelosetta and Le Saline, perfect for those who want to relax in a peaceful and unspoiled environment. The town center, with its Old Port and the historic Torre della Pelosa, overlooks the Asinara Island, a protected area that can be explored with fascinating boat trips.
The apartment, just a few steps from the beach and very close to the main services offered by the Capo Falcone shopping center, is perfect for those seeking a comfortable and functional accommodation. Thanks to its strategic location, it offers the opportunity to enjoy the tranquility of the place while easily exploring the natural and cultural wonders of Stintino. An ideal option for families and couples who want to fully experience the beauty of this part of Sardinia.
Lying in the extreme north-western corner of Sardinia, Stintino juts out towards Asinara, almost touching it. Right there, where it almost touches it, it shows its masterpiece, La Pelosa: a limpid and extremely shallow seabed for tens of metres, white and impalpable sand, dazzling and placid sea with all the shades of blue. Next to the ‘big sister’ is La Pelosetta, enclosed by a small island topped by an Aragonese tower (from 1578), the symbol of La Pelosa. From a ‘terrace’ on the ‘tropical’ beach, two hundred metres above sea level, you can enjoy a unique panorama of the unspoilt and wild Isola Piana and Asinara National Park: Stintino is the closest place to visit.
The territory of Stintino is a strip of land between two seas. To the west, the evocative ‘sea outside’, with a high, jagged coastline alternating with sand and pebble coves: from Capo Falcone, a wild place also guarded by a Spanish tower (the highest in the Nurra) and flown over by peregrine falcons and queen's hawks, to Cala del Vapore, through Valle della Luna and Coscia di donna. To the east, the ‘inland sea’, inside the gulf: a low, sheltered coastline that from Pelosa, passing through L'Ancora and the rocks of Punta Negra, reaches the round, white pebbles of the long coastline of Le Saline and Ezzi Mannu. In between is a natural oasis with ponds (Cesaraccio and Pilo), home to red heron, egret and kingfisher.
In the beginning, Stintino was a small fishing village, very similar to Cala d'Oliva on Asinara, the home village of the 45 Ligurian families who founded it in 1885, when the Kingdom of Italy established a lazaret and penal colony on the island, ‘evicting’ the inhabitants. The town, a municipality since 1988, lies on a tongue of land between two inlets - isthintìni means ‘intestines’ - the ‘Old’ and ‘New’ harbours, where wooden Latin-sailed gozzo boats are moored, of which Stintino is the ‘capital’. Since 1983, it has hosted a famous regatta. The town's history is inextricably linked to fishing and tuna processing: relive it in the ‘Tonnare’ museum, located in the ‘Saline’ tuna fishery, active until the 1970s. Once the main source of income, since 2016 it tells the story of Stintino's modus vivendi: you will walk along the ‘chambers’ (the same ones that make up the tuna nets), accompanied by original tools and images. After the tonnara, there is tourism. At the beginning of the 20th century, the village was the destination of illustrious Sassaresi families, such as Berlinguer and Segni, and in the 1960s the boom: a myriad of tourist residences and hotels were built on the coast. The town, inhabited by 1,600 residents in winter, is populated by tens of thousands of tourists in summer. Fishing is the basis of the culinary tradition: octopus in garlic sauce and Stintinese style, lobster soup, tuna roe, seafood and fresh fish, to be savoured in the restaurants in the narrow streets of the village and on the coast
