Our heart places (4): San Teodoro

It may seem trivial (or stupid), but there are holidays and HOLIDAYS .

Within the first group, the vast majority of them fall, also very beautiful places that we tend to forget once we return home, or at least once the inevitable period of settling and returning to everyday life has passed.

In the second container - indeed very small - there are instead those places and above all those experiences that come back to our mind even after months or years, every time we stop to think about the places where we have been well, as you enter (definitively ) in our heart.

For us, one of the HOLIDAYS that we remember with greater nostalgia, one of the experiences that has satisfied us from every points of view is certainly the one made a few years ago in Sardinia, precisely in San Teodoro.

A place for which words wouldn’t be needed to describe its beauty, given that it would be enough to observe - in religious silence - the images of the wonderful beaches contained within its territory.

That Sardinia is rich in beautiful beaches it’s notorious thing, but the concentration of enchanting marine panoramas that are inside this small town (in the Olbia-Tempio county) I think has very few equals, in Sardinia but probably in Europe.

Making a list - or worse still a ranking - would be useless and in some ways reductive, but as it happens for Rome (which to be visited in a minimally exhaustive way requires several days) also here in San Teodoro to discover all its wonderful beaches a week can’t be enough.

White beaches with a generally very shallow seabed, with majestic granite rocks around them to guarantee shelter and with waters of impressive transparency, bordering on the transcendent and inhuman.

Postcards that seem to belong to another continent - since we are used to seeing them in the Caribbean, Hawaii or the Canary Islands - and which instead exist and are also reality in Italy, a little bit close from our home.

In addition, beyond the wonders of its sea, walking around San Teodoro is also an experience to remember, with the open-air markets that fill the streets of the town throughout the summer, making every evening social, festive but at the same time same relaxing and familiar.

Last but not least, here you can also eat very well, both based on fish (and how could it be otherwise, given the sea ...) and meat, moreover by spending the right amount, an important but absolutely not obvious factor, moreover considering the "standard prices" of several famous Sardinian holiday resorts.

To make a comparison - trivial but at the same time rather realistic - with the price of an aperitif in Porto Cervo, you even risk dining here.

Also, I don't speak about wine this time, but I will just say that both Gallura (the home of Vermentino) and Barbagia (the "home" of Cannonau) can be reached in an hour by car.

In short, a place that really does not lack anything, easy to reach whether you decide to arrive by ship or by plane (as less than 30km south of Olbia), ideal for spending days - several, if you can - in which return in peace with yourself, cancelling the waste of everyday life.

P.S. A little / big tip: come by car (or if you arrive by plane rent it). Here we are not in Riccione, so the connections work but they are not so widespread. Otherwise, you will be heavily conditioned on the move, and going around the beaches and coves will be much more complicated.
