Location information for Santa Teresa Gallura

Introduction

Santa Teresa Gallura is a popular seaside resort on the northern coast of Sardinia. According to many, these are the most beautiful beaches in Europe, and this coast is therefore called Costa Esmeralda (Emerald Coast) for a reason. The town has an enjoyable center, but outside high season (the summer months) many shops, cafés and restaurants close their doors.

Population

The town has approximately 5,000 permanent inhabitants, but in summer months the number of people staying here can easily double or triple.

Location

Santa Teresa Gallura is located in the far north of Sardinia, on the Strait of Bonifacio. Across the strait lies the French island of Corsica. The town is situated on two bays: the Porto Longone, the natural harbor, and the Rena Bianca, the city's white sandy beach which gets busy in summer months. There are several other beaches nearby Santa Teresa Gallura.

Economy

Tourism is the main source of income and creates a lot of employment. The entire Costa Esmeralda attracts many tourists but Santa Teresa Gallura is one of the pearls in the crown of this coastal area. There's some trade with neighboring Corsica through the harbor, but it doesn't amount to much. Many pleasure yachts moor here though.

Airports

The nearest airport, Costa Smeralda Airport, is situated near Olbia, 65 car kilometers southeast of Santa Teresa Gallura. It's easily reachable by rental car via the SS133bis and the SS125. It's about a one-hour drive.

Public Transport

There's no city transport, but otherwise public bus transport on Sardinia, exploited by the Azienda Regionale Sarda Trasporti (ARST), is good. There are regular connections with all larger cities; smaller villages are often only called at once a day. The smaller villages can only be reached by rental car.

Traffic and Parking

The streets in Santa Teresa Gallura's old center are narrow and sometimes inaccessible for cars. Normally it's already not easy to find a parking place around the center, but it's worse in summer months. It's best to park at your hotel and use your rental car for trips across the island. Although Sardinia has no freeways, the highways are excellent. The secondary roads are often narrow and winding and sometimes unpaved. Drive carefully and slowly here.

Hotels

The Costa Esmeralda is a popular holiday area, not only for people from outside Italy, but also for Italians. Italian travel agents often rent entire hotels to accommodate their guests. Especially in summer months there are barely any hotel rooms available in Santa Teresa Gallura and the rest of the Costa Esmeralda. If you want to visit Sardinia in those months, we advise booking your accommodation well in advance, also if you want to stay at a campsite in this coastal area. Inland you can generally find free rooms or places on campsites.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?
