Location: East coast, approx. 40 km south of Olbia. The journey from Olbia ferry terminal or airport takes less than 30 minutes.
Beach: You can choose from a variety of beaches, ranging from fine, gently sloping sandy beaches to pebble and rocky beaches.
- Doctor/Pharmacy: Local pharmacy. ‘Guarda Medica’ (= state health service) and local doctors; specialists 10 minutes’ drive away; hospital in Olbia, approx. 30 minutes away. (The service office provides assistance in emergencies!)
- Car hire: Locally
- Bank: Locally, with an ATM available.
- Shopping: A wide range of goods and services available all year round in Budoni and the surrounding area.
- Internet: From June 2017, mobile data roaming is regulated uniformly across the EU. The connection in the village and the surrounding area is very good almost everywhere. The Centro Servizi Tartaruga lends out routers, and Sardafit guests can also log in for free at various restaurants.
- Nightlife: The Porto Ottiolu marina (5 km north of Budoni) in particular offers – depending on the season – an international, sophisticated programme for all age groups, but even in Budoni itself, you won’t miss out on anything during the season.
- Post office: In the village, with banking services.
- Restaurants: A wide range on offer all year round, from ‘simple’ to ‘gourmet’. The restaurants on the beach are particularly lovely.
- Sports: Boat hire, bike hire, fishing, horse riding, sailing, surfing, diving, tennis. The nearest diving school is in P. Ottiolu. Golf in Punt’Aldia, 3 km north of S. Teodoro. There is also an airfield there for hang gliders and microlights, run by German management. (All of this is subject to the season!)
- Language course: In Posada, 6 km from Budoni, a small, dynamic language school opened in 2003, which also offers short courses.
- Telecommunications: Mobile phone reception is available almost everywhere. Payphones can be found in street cafés. Additionally, a German-speaking local service office provides fax and telephone services.
- Hiking: The local “Pro Loco” (the municipality’s tourist office) offers a wide range of exploration tours across the whole island. Sardafit’s service office organises, exclusively for its guests, tours into the unspoilt mountainous countryside, the highlight of which is a feast with Sardinian shepherds in the most beautiful scenery, boat trips to the offshore islands, the grand Sardinian wedding feast at a farmer’s house in the countryside, and much more. A map is useful for walks into the hinterland, as there are no signposts away from the roads. Highly recommended: beach walks!
