Orosei is a renowned tourist resort in Barbonia, located on the central-eastern coast of Sardinia.
This fascinating destination combines the beauty of Mount Gennargentu with its splendid beaches and enchantingly colored sea. The village lies at the foot of Mount Tuttavista, surrounded by the valley of the Cedrino river. The cobbled streets of the historic center are home to period buildings, numerous churches (17) and even an ancient baronial prison. A short distance away lies the Marina di Orosei, a kilometre-long beach with complete services and a sea with iridescent shades.
During the year it is possible to attend various traditional festivals, including the evocative rites of Holy Week, the celebration of the patron saint San Giacomo on 25 July and the homage to Santa Maria ‘e Mare, Protectress of sailors.
Thanks to its unique position, Orosei is the ideal destination for a holiday that combines the charm of the Sardinian sea with the exploration of uncontaminated nature. To facilitate the discovery of this magical territory, it is possible to rent a car from our agency in via Chisu 9B. a delivery service is also available which will allow you to receive the car where it is most convenient for you.
Orosei originated in Roman times and experienced the peak of development at the time of the Giudicati. Its town center is full of churches, 17 of which are consecrated: among these, in the central square we find the Parish of San Giacomo, one of the most important baroque expressions on the island, which houses several wooden statues and an interesting baptistery. Also worth visiting in the city is the Guiso Museum, housed in the Palatzos Vetzos, which houses a large collection of 18th century theaters from all over Europe.
But Orosei is rightly known for the wonderful beaches of its gulf: in addition to the Marina of the same name not far from the city, just 11 km away we find Cala Liberotto, a bay with emerald waters embraced by light rocks that are very suggestive at sunset. Behind it is the SOS Alinos pond, populated by resident and migratory birds, while to the north a promontory separates it from the marvelous Cala Ginepro, another pearl of the Gulf of Orosei.
Traveling along the coast, the Bidderosa Oasis is certainly worth a stop, a true paradise made up of 5 white sand coves framed by junipers, holm oaks and pines. Here from May to the end of October entry for cars and motorbikes is limited in order to preserve this unique and precious oasis. Instead, you can access it freely on foot, by bike or by swimming starting from Cala Ginepro. Finally, lovers of trekking, excursions and nature will find some extraordinary places in the Orosei area in which to walk among inebriating scents and landscapes. Among these, Monte Tuttavista and the Gennargentu Regional Park.
