📍 What Is Portobello di Gallura
Portobello di Gallura is a coastal hamlet of the municipality of Aglientu, northern coast of Sardinia, between Santa Teresa di Gallura and Costa Paradiso. A small tourist centre in nature, built around a coast of rare beauty: ultra-fine white sand, centuries-old junipers, dunes and transparent waters battered by the maestrale wind.
It's the destination for travelers who want nature over nightlife — clear water, open space, and the kind of silence that's getting harder to find. The beach faces the open sea, with the island of Corsica often visible on the horizon. We've managed holiday homes along this coast since 2011.
At Portobello the wind is part of the landscape: it bends the junipers, ruffles the water, carries the scent of myrtle and sea salt. The Sardinia for those who seek silence and nature, not a queue at the beach bar.
