Osalla

Osalla marks the end of the fertile plain of Orosei. Here, before the scrubland and mountains resume their rugged reign and what is perhaps the most beautiful cliff coastline in the Mediterranean begins, you will find a beautiful, long sandy beach that is largely untouched by tourism.

If you want to visit the sea caves that can only be reached by sea, this is a particularly good place to start.  The Grotta del Bue Marino, with its spectacular stalactites, is well worth seeing and is located just south of Cala Gonone.

There are barely 20 houses, no hotels, no campsites, just a few beach bars on several kilometres of the most beautiful sandy beach, and that's just 5 km from Orosei. This beach is a real insider tip for those who love peace and seclusion.

Sardafit's house 608 is located in Osalla.

Sardafit's service office organises exclusive tours for its guests to the undeveloped mountainous region, the highlight of which is a feast with Sardinian shepherds in the most beautiful countryside, boat trips to the offshore islands, the grand Sardinian wedding menu at a farm in the countryside, and much more. A map is useful for hikes in the mountainous hinterland around Sardinia's highest mountains (1800 m), as there are no signs away from the roads. Very nice: beach walks!
