Poltu Quatu
Poltu Quatu
The town of Poltu Quatu is located in the north-east of Sardinia. It is part of the famous Costa Smeralda that lies between the exclusive tourist destinations of Porto Cervo and Baja Sardinia. This ruggedly beautiful region stretches like a 30-mile necklace of wild and secluded coves, interspersed by extravagant villas and some eighty powder-white beaches. It is a land of twisted cork trees, glistening juniper and whispering pines, with a hint of rosemary scenting the air. Angular mountains of granite and basalt provide spectacular backdrops.
Activities
