Wonderful Village, Apt right in the Center
This apartment is about as centrally located as possible in Baunei. (Pronounced Bau - Nay: Your'e welcome!) It is only a 2 minute walk to the central square. Both bedrooms had AC which was a lifesaver during the July 2023 heatwave. It is otherwise very well shaded on a narrow street so most of the year is probably not necessary. The kitchen is quite small for preparing meals, I recommend mostly eating out. Some of the more AgroTurismo restaurants might need reservations well in advance of your arrival in peak season. The drive to Baunei from Olbia is quite adventurous, mostly curvy roads along mountain ridge and takes much longer than it looks on the map - for us more than 3 hours. It would be great to head back sometime in Spring or Fall to enjoy some the amazing trekking in the area without peak summer heat. Otherwise there are lots of options for boating, swimming, and snorkeling in nearby Santa Maria Navarrese which is about 25 minutes away and a 500 meter descent. Our host Graziella was easily reachable and helpful with recommendations including a local Sagre Mailetto festival while we where there- This was a big pig BBQ in the middle of town with a DJ and dancing and we enjoyed trying our best to mix with the locals. I can recommend both the destination and the apartment for your trip to Sardinia.
