Stintino
Unwind in Stintino, opposite the picturesque Asinara Island!
Our 4-star Club Hotel is located in Stintino, an ideal destination for holidays in Sardinia amidst beauty and tradition.
Stintino is located in the north-west of Sardinia on the Capo Falcone promontory, opposite Asinara Island, a former penal colony and now a nature reserve. It is considered a piece of paradise on earth thanks to its natural beauty, not to mention the sea at La Pelosa beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Italy thanks to its turquoise colour and clarity; definitely one of the most beautiful beaches in Sardinia.

Sardinian History and Traditions
One land, one people, many stories. Throughout three millennia of history, Sardinia has been the scene of multiple invasions, ethnic migrations and a multi-faceted civilisation that has left numerous traces in its culture. The most important is certainly the Nuragic civilisation. It is assumed that this civilisation flourished between 1800 and 1200 BC as a community of nomadic and warlike shepherds. The architectural symbol of the Nuragic era is the Nuraghe, a megalithic construction made of large blocks of stone, squared and superimposed without the use of binding mortars.
Stintino, on the other hand, was founded in much more recent times as a fishing village in 1885, when forty-five families were evicted from the island of Asinara due to the creation of a health facility to quarantine cholera patients. Today the village is inhabited by about 800 people and survives mainly on tourism. The ancient fishing village has been transformed into a delightful and lively centre in which visitors can safely wander.
Not to be missed is the Tuna Fishing Museum, where you and your children can relive the history of a distant past, when tuna fishing was the basis of the economy. Today, the multimedia path allows you to discover many interesting facts about this activity and the processing of fish!

Small culinary curiosities: One of the most popular Sardinian recipes, “porceddu su filu su ferru” (suckling pig in grappa), originated during the Kingdom of Savoy. At that time, a law was passed forbidding the private distillation of liqueurs of any kind, including grappa.
The shepherds, however, hid the jars of the distillate underground after having applied a protruding wire in order to find them. This is why grappa is commonly called “su filu su ferru”!
