A sharp geological division separates the Golfo di Orosei into two very different regions.  In the north, a low-lying coastline reveals a landscape of white sandy beaches backed by fragrant pinewoods, whereas the south is characterised by its mountain range, which until recent times, isolated the seafaring community of Cala Gonone from the rest of the island, rendering it accessible only by boat, or by the perilous path hewn out of the cliff face.  Nowadays, your first view of the village will be when you exit the tunnel, which connects the inland area of Dorgali to the coast, cutting straight through the mountainside to reveal panoramic views over the Golfo di Orosei: with the steep, winding road leading down through wooded hillsides to the village centre, with its lovely sandy beach and colourful fishing harbour.  

The area surrounding Cala Gonone is just waiting to be explored.  From the harbour, one can hire small boats or book trips to the lovely beaches dotted along this coastline, such as Cala Sisine and Cala Luna (Moon beach), many of which are accessible only by boat or on foot.  Visit the Grotta del Bue Marino and explore its 900 metres of tunnels and underground streams. This stunning region is also popular with walkers and hikers, and attracts its fair share of climbers who enjoy the challenge of the surrounding limestone crags and mountains. 

The Hotel Nuraghe Arvu takes its name from an ancient Nuragic settlement, the remains of which are located close by. Guests are welcomed in the spacious hallway of the main hotel, whilst the guest rooms all have independent entrances and are decorated in charming Sardinian style. The  hotel’s various facilities, including swimming pool, parasols, sun-beds, shuttle service to beach (500m) and parking. Beach towels are charged at  €3 per change).  The large swimming pool is equipped with a lumbar and plantar hydro massage, its sinuous shape decorated with local Sardinian granite.  Children have a pool of their own.  

The restaurant, with its vast, panoramic terrace offers a variety of local dishes, including grilled specialities, cooked in the hotel’s wood burning stove, or on the outdoor barbecue.  Breakfast is a hot and cold buffet, whilst lunch and dinner are waiter service. There is also an a la carte menu.   After dinner guests can relax in the Piano Bar, where the entertainment sometimes includes traditional songs and dances. 

Located just 800m from the harbour at Cala Gonone, with its restaurants and bars, the Hotel Nuraghe Arvu is ideal for those who like to be within walking distance of town in a lovely area of Sardinia.
