Budoni Hinterland

Budoni – the hinterland

The municipality of Budoni also includes a few pretty little villages in the hinterland, which we’ll briefly introduce here.

Muriscuvò is a small village nestled on a mountainside. From here, there is a wonderful view across the whole of Budoni Bay. This is where Sardafit’s House No. 103 is located.

Limpiddu is a picturesque little village with a typically Sardinian atmosphere. There are shops here and a village square with an outdoor café. The locals are very hospitable, and anyone who fancies a visit to the village bar will find it easy to strike up a conversation. In Limpiddu, you can rent Sardafit Houses Nos. 106–108.

Luttuni, picturesquely situated on a hillside, was an abandoned shepherds’ village until it was roused from its slumber a few years ago. Today, all the shepherds’ cottages have been restored, and a few new houses have been added. Nevertheless, Luttuni has retained its rustic charm. This is where the Sardafit houses Nos. 111–116 are located.

Maiorca lies approximately 4 km from Budoni on the slopes of a range of hills. The magnificent panoramic location, overlooking Budoni beach and the sea, is likely the reason why, alongside a few locals, many holidaymakers have purchased holiday homes here. To get to Budoni, you will definitely need a car here. This also opens up the possibility of driving, for example, to the nearby S. Teodoro with its famous La Cinta beach. Sardafit’s house No. 119 is located in Majorca.

Houses 175–179 belong to Tanauella. The history of this village goes back a long way, and it used to be the heart of the community. Tanauella’s houses are picturesquely clustered around a hill not far from the sea. The short distance to the sea and the magnificent panoramic setting are the reasons why so many holiday homes have been built in Tanauella. As the majority of these are owned by locals, the area has retained its Sardinian charm. There are also restaurants and supermarkets open all year round, which we can wholeheartedly recommend.

A map is useful for walks into the hinterland, as there are no signposts away from the roads. Highly recommended: beach walks!
