Inland, the rustic village of
San Pantaleo

town of
Arzachena
offers a number of interesting archaeological sites, including the
Nura-
ghe di Albucciu
(admission €3;
9am-7pm)
on the main Olbia road, and
Coddu Ecchju
(admis-
9am-7pm)
, one of Sardinia's most important

(giants' tombs).

farmstead. It's run by the ultrahospitable Caterina Ruzittu, who prepares the sumptuous
breakfasts and keeps the rooms pristine. Outside, a swimming pool shimmers in the lush
green garden.

B&B Costa Smeralda
( 0789 9 98 11;

; Lu Cumitoni, Poltu Quatu; d €80-130; )
Tucked in the hills above the Poltu Quatu harbour, this is an especially charming B&B.
Piero and Luciana go out of their way to make you feel at home. Sunlight streams into
rooms which are a blaze of blue and white. There are tantalising sea views from the veran-
dah, where you can enjoy freshly made cakes and pastries at breakfast.

Agriturismo Rena
( 0789 8 25 32;

;
Località Rena, Arzachena; half-board per person €40-60;
)
It's half-board only at this hilltop
agriturismo,
but that's no great sacrifice as the
farmhouse food is a delight - cheese, honey, meat and wine are all home produced.
Rooms have a rural look, with heavy wooden furniture and beamed ceilings.
