Siniscola
Unspoiled nature made up of caves and long beaches.
Siniscola, with more than 12,000 inhabitants, is the main town of the Baronie on the northeastern coast of Sardinia.
Its territory encompasses as much as 25 km of coastline and, behind it, wild and unspoiled nature over which dominates Mount Albo, a limestone massif also known as "Sardinian dolomite." Surrounding the town of Siniscola are as many as 30 nuragic settlements and numerous caves, including Gane 'e Gortoe (access to which is in the town center), Bona Fraule, sa Conca 'e Locoli and sa Prejone 'e 'Orcu, on the slopes of Mount Albo.
Because of this, the area is of great historical and environmental interest and welcomes every year both tourists in search of long, not-too-crowded beaches and enthusiasts of trekking, caving, free climbing and surfing.
Also not far from the center of Siniscola are La Caletta, a seaside hamlet with a marina and a 5-km-long golden beach, and Santa Lucia, a charming fishing village overlooking the sea.
Right in La Caletta you can find our car rental offices where you can rent small, medium and large cars or commercial vans. At this location in the territory of Siniscola you can also rent a car with a delivery service, requesting that it be delivered to where it is most convenient for you.

What to see
Sea, mountains and caves to explore
Siniscola embraces a rather diverse territory that combines the unspoiled and wild atmosphere of the mountains with the beauty of more than 20 km of mostly sandy coastline.
Its historic center has medieval origins, and the oldest part preserves the old districts and some interesting churches, including that of St. John the Baptist, dating from the 18th century, and the church of Nostra Signora della Salute, built near a healing spring. It may sound strange, but in the center of the town (precisely in Olbia Street) we also find the entrance to the cave of Gana 'e Gortoe, one of the many caves in the territory of Siniscola that continually attract speleology enthusiasts from all over the world. From here one can reach the Monte Idda area, from which to enjoy the panoramic view of Siniscola at the foot of Monte Albo.
It is precisely the imposing limestone massif of Monte Albo that is one of the main attractions of the Siniscola area, thanks to its many walkable trails, holm oak and yew forests, and many fresh water springs.
And then the sea: not far from Siniscola we immediately find the hamlet of La Caletta, a well-known seaside resort with a marina, where it is also pleasant to spend summer evenings among restaurants, bars, clubs and stalls. Continuing south you can easily reach the charming fishing village of Santa Lucia, with its colorful little houses, boat beach and 16th-century Aragonese tower. A short distance away is also the beautiful beach of confetti, Capo Comino with its white dunes and centuries-old junipers, and finally the unmissable Berchida, considered among the most beautiful beaches in the entire Mediterranean.

Where to eat
An earthy cuisine that smells of pompia.
As in most of the Baronie, the cuisine in Siniscola is mainly linked to the products of the land and the mountains. Tasty roasts (of pork, lamb or kid), recipes for stewed meats and boiled sheep or pork thus prevail on Siniscola's tables. Among the first courses, cheese or ricotta ravioli and classic Sardinian pasta such as gnocchetti or maccarones de busa stand out.
A typical dish is "sa suppa," consisting of a particular kind of bread that is dried and then cooked with meat broth and seasoned with sauce and cheese. Emblematic of Siniscola is then "sa pompìa," a large and particular citrus fruit that is a mix between citron and lemon, from which an exquisite liqueur is made and some typical sweets such as pompìa intrea and s'aranzata.
