“Budoni is the quiet version of San Teodoro. The same crystal-clear sea, the same white sand, but without the nightlife and with lower prices. One of the favourite choices of Italian and European families who want the real Sardinia.”

Budoni is a town of about 5,000 people on the eastern coast of Sardinia, between San Teodoro (15 km to the north) and Siniscola (25 km to the south). It has grown as a holiday destination over the last twenty years thanks to a long sandy coastline dotted with several seaside hamlets: Berruiles, S’Iscala, Agrustos, Tanaunella.
It has become one of the favourite destinations for Italian and European families for two reasons: the crystal-clear sea with its gently sloping seabed (same quality as San Teodoro), and the peaceful atmosphere without the intense nightlife of neighbouring San Teodoro. Prices are generally lower.
In Budoni, AffittaSardegna directly manages a small selection of homes, on the same coast as Siniscola, San Teodoro and Cala Gonone.

15–20 km from the Budoni area are San Teodoro's iconic beaches: La Cinta (5 km of white sand) and Cala Brandinchi (the “Sardinian Tahiti”, limited access). Half a day or a full day.
Inland between Budoni and San Teodoro rises Monte Nieddu — trails through holm oak woods, views over the coast and natural springs. Season: October–May.
Budoni's seaside hamlets (S’Iscala, Berruiles, Agrustos) have authentic trattorias serving local fish. AffittaSardegna recommends 2–3 traditional restaurants via WhatsApp.
To explore the seaside hamlets + the surroundings you'll need a car. We compare options via Discover Cars.
