Where are we
The elevated position of the apartments offers remarkable views, as well as a more agreeable climate compared to the coast. The evenings are in fact pleasantly cooler in summer, without the humidity typical of sea areas and without mosquitoes.
It is wonderful to come home after a day at the beach and not be afflicted by the heat but to relax in a dream location!
What’s more, Lanusei is in a perfect strategic position for excursions into the hinterland, in the mountains on the Gennargentu, to the nearby lake of Villanova Strisaili or in the characteristic villages rich in history and culture, because Sardinia is not only sea, but much more and we will help you discover it.
Lanusei
The municipality is the seat of the local law court, the local health authority (ASL nº 4 of Lanusei) and its hospital. It is also the seat of the bishop from the diocese of the same name.

Not just sea
Sea
And in all of them the crystal clarity of the waters will leave you breathless.
The coves of the Gulf of Orosei, Cala Goloritzè, Cala Mariolu and Cala Sisine to name but a few, are true crystalline pearls close to a rocky ridge that delimits them to the west. Along the coast you can also admire the beaches of Cala Gonone and further south those of Tortolì, with the small and delightful bay of Porto Frailis or Lido di Orrì, and the Torre di Bari beach in Barisardo and Marina di Cardedu, Tertenia and Gairo.
According to Legambiente and the Italian Touring Club, the coast of Baunei represents the best tourist area in Italy, and won the title of 5 sails, a prestigious award for sustainable land management, landscape protection, and services offered in full respect of the environment.

Excursions
The interior roads open up to the National Park of the Gulf of Orosei and Gennargentu and further south to the Parco dei Tacchi d’Ogliastra, with the characteristic hills dominated by a mountainous base. Nearby you can visit the natural monument of Perda Liana, the remains of Gairo Vecchio, a ghost town that was destroyed in the flood of 1951, the ancient rural church of San Salvatore in Ussassài, the Scala di San Giorgio and the Serbissi nuraghe in Osini. and the imposing Su Marmuri cave in Ulàssai. Further north, between Orgosolo and Urzulei is the Gorropu Gorge, a huge canyon derived from the erosive action of the Rio Flumineddu river and reachable via a hiking trail. In the low season, nature trails can be organized, including caves and archaeological sites or activities such as rock climbing, biking and trekking. In particular, we recommend the Selvaggio Blu, one of the most challenging and fascinating trekking routes in Italy. Although the Ogliastra area is not connected by the regional railway network, the tourist line of the narrow-gauge railway is still active with the journeys of the Trenino Verde (little green train) between Arbatax and Mandas, which allows you to savor the landscapes of the interior.
