Bosa Marina

Situated on the North West coast of Sardinia, a picturesque 1 1/4 hours drive south of Alghero, Bosa and Bosa Marina have remained almost untouched by tourism. Other than the month of August when the towns are busy with Italian holidaymakers, you have lots of space to yourself on the beautiful beaches.

Bosa Marina has a good choice of bars, cafes and restaurants, from simple Bruschette or Pizza to a full blown meal out. There are mini markets and other various shops. On the beach you can hire pedalo's, canoe, wind surfers or try your hand at kite surfing.  There are also boat trips either up river or out to sea.

The beach here at Bosa Marina is a huge swathe of soft sand, protected by the sea wall and gently shelving into the clear blue sea. It is ideal for families and backed by bars, cafes and beach restaurants serving panini or more substantial meals of seafood and fresh fish.

Bosa Old Town

A pleasant 25 minutes walk inland, along the banks of the river Temo, takes you to the charming old town of Bosa, with its cobbled streets and tall thin houses set on a network of narrow streets leading up to the castle of Malaspina atop of Serraville hill.

In Bosa you will find many shops, bars and restaurants set in its network of streets and piazza's. It is worth the walk up to the castle if only for the views over Bosa and Bosa Marina down to the sea. Inside the castle you will find the church of Regnos Altos with a recently uncovered fresco on one of the walls.
