Arzachena

Arzachena is located in north-east Sardinia, at ca. 25 kilometres from Olbia, in the area known as the Gallura region. The territory of the commune of Arzachena stretches for a surface area of around 228 m², including a spectacular coastline of approximately 80 kilometres characterised by countless bays and beaches. When visiting this area, neighbouring the famous Costa Smeralda, you’ll be surprised by the many impressive rock formations. The region was known by the Romans as "Turibulum", after a mushroom-shaped rock which nowadays is the symbol of the town.
The area is known for the presence of “stazzi”, rectangular houses in Sardinian granite, consisting of 1 or 2 rooms, originally used by shepherds as a stopover or shelter on their journeys. Through the years most of them have been transformed into houses or agriturismi.
