Budoni and the Gallura

Budoni is situated in the north-east of Sardinia, in the heart of the Gallura region. Its beaches — fine white sand and crystal-clear turquoise water — are among the most beautiful on the eastern Sardinian coast. The pace of life here is slow in the best possible way: days drift by to the scent of the sea, the sound of cicadas, and the golden light of sunset over the garden.

Sunny House’s location makes it easy to explore the most stunning corners of north-eastern Sardinia: from the Tepilora Natural Park to the Costa Smeralda, from the Island of Tavolara to the historic inland villages. And at the end of the day, you will always have a quiet, welcoming place to come back to.
