Location
Lu Bagnu, on the eastern shores of the Gulf of Asinara, is well-known for its lovely beaches and clear sea. The beach at Lu Bagnu is suitable for children and families. Visitors can enjoy snorkelling, scuba diving, surfing (there is a surf club in the town) and wind-surfing. Lu Bagnu has cafés and restaurants to suit all budgets. For self-catering there is a supermarket 5 minutes from the apartment.

Just up the coast, is the town of Castelsardo (8 minutes). It has been voted one of the 100 most beautiful towns in Italy and it is easy to see why. The town is dominated by the Castello dei Doria, a Medieval fortress, which is now a very popular museum of traditional Meditteranean life. Castelsardo is ideal for strolling and can easily be explored on foot. It makes a great day out.

There are ferries between Porto di Castelsardo (6 minutes) and Corsica, so visitors can explore Sardinia and its northern neighbour.
