Locality

Quiet and unspoilt seaside getaway. Beautiful sandy beach in sheltered bay.

Bosa is located only 50 Km south of Alghero. The charming, pretty and colourful town of Bosa unfolds on the hill side between the medieval Malaspina Castle and the River Temo. The main street Vittorio Emmanuele II is lined by 19th century palazzos with balconies decorated with iron balustrades and interesting souvenir shops, cafes and bars, but as you step behind the main street and ascend towards the castle you will find yourself in a labyrinth of cobbled lanes, alleys, and staircases, surrounded by vividly coloured houses giving a sense of authenticity and an original character. The river Temo runs through Bosa, crossed by Ponte Vecchio and lined with palm trees on one side and the ancient 18th century tanneries on the other. If you have a sense of adventure, Bosa will not disappoint you. Bosa is a great place for a holiday, a place to relax and unwind. There are numerous beaches nearby. The largest one is Bosa Marina. There are many smaller coves and unusual rock formations accessible by car, footpath or boat.

You can also take boat trips along the coast and see breathtaking views of the local scenery, with hidden coves and beaches, or you can hire a boat and take a trip to find your own secluded cove and swim or snorkel from the boat.
