Porto Vecchio dei Fornelli
Tucked into the northwestern tip of Sardinia near the village of Stintino, Porto Vecchio dei Fornelli is a sheltered historic anchorage framed by the wild scrubland of the Asinara Gulf. The name nods to the old lime kilns (fornelli) that once operated here, giving the spot a quietly industrial past beneath its tranquil, rugged surface. You're well-placed to explore the nearby Asinara National Park island, visible just across the strait, and the famous white-sand beaches of La Pelosa are only a short drive away.
