📍 What Is Santa Lucia
Santa Lucia is a charming small seaside village on the north-eastern coast of Sardinia, in the municipality of Siniscola, between San Teodoro and the Gulf of Orosei. Once a Spanish watchtower, it has kept an authentic, unhurried character: low houses, a long beach of pale sand and a pine forest that provides natural shade steps from the water.
It's the ideal choice for those seeking a simple, genuine beach holiday, away from noisy tourism: wide beaches, gentle seabeds, and the convenience of the pine forest for the hottest days. We've managed holiday homes in this area since 2011.
At Santa Lucia the luxury is simplicity: plant your umbrella under the pines, swim in shallow water, eat freshly caught fish in a village trattoria. The Sardinia that families choose and keep coming back to.
