Location
Telti is a rural setting, surrounded by farmland, olive groves and ancient Neolithic sites dating back over 4000 years. It is a very different experience to the glamorous Costa Smeralda. The town centre includes two pretty churches and the Cultural & Natural Museum of Sardinia which records the local community life.

For self-catering, Telti is an agricultural centre, so Tuesday’s farmers market is an absolute must for the freshest local fruit, vegetables, cheeses, oil etc. If you miss this then head into Olbia and via Sangallo (20 minutes) for the Saturday market which is also a treasure trove of island specialities.

Sardinia’s beautiful beaches are only 30 minutes away. If you head to Porto San Paolo (35 minutes) you can get a boat to the island of Tavolara. Tavolara is well worth a day trip for hiking, swimming and lunch at the famous Da Tonino restaurant, run by the island’s current king. There is a regular boat service to the island from Porto San Paolo. Alternatively, visitors can hire a boat or kayak to explore the smaller islands such as Isola Cavalli and Isola Piana.

Olbia Airport is just a 25-minute drive.
