The smart choice<\/div>\n Baja Sardinia \u2014 the more affordable Costa Smeralda\n

5 km from Porto Cervo. Same sea, same Gallura, same pink granite \u2014 but without the weight of the name. Cala Battistoni is a spectacular beach that easily holds its own against Porto Cervo's. The choice of people who really know the Costa Smeralda.<\/p>\n
