Budoni: the east coast
between San Teodoro and Siniscola

“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.”

What Budoni is like

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.

Budoni is where families who tried San Teodoro in August move to the following year. Same sea, same sand, but no queue for pizza and a child who sleeps peacefully at night. It's Sardinia for pure family relaxation.
