“Posada is the village that makes you stop the car: colourful houses clinging to the rock, a medieval castle on top, and below a green plain that runs all the way to the sea. One of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy, and you can see why.”

Posada is a village on the north-east coast of Sardinia, in the province of Nuoro, listed among I Borghi più Belli d'Italia (the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy). It stands on a rocky spur overlooking the valley of the Posada river and the plain that slopes down to the sea, halfway between San Teodoro and the Gulf of Orosei. A mosaic of colourful houses, steep lanes and views that suddenly open onto green and blue.
It's a destination for anyone seeking sea and authenticity together: long, uncrowded beaches a few minutes away, a fairy-tale medieval village and a nature reserve along the river. Far from the glitz, close to the real Sardinia. Our nearest homes are in Budoni and Siniscola, a few minutes away.
The old town climbs up to the Fava Castle, a 13th-century medieval fortress. The climb to the tower rewards you with a 360° view over the Posada plain, the winding river, the lagoons and the sea on the horizon. The lanes are a succession of colourful houses, arches and photogenic corners. The legend behind the name (“della Fava”, of the broad bean) tells of a siege broken by a trick: a pigeon fed on broad beans was released towards the enemy to make them believe the village had plenty of food.
A long sandy beach with a gently sloping seabed and pine forest behind. Wide and peaceful, ideal for families.
Just to the south: a long beach with a small harbour, pale sand and facilities. Handy if you want everything within reach.
A wide, natural beach at the mouth of the Posada river, with dunes and a protected setting. Less crowded.
