Where to stay in Baunei: guide to the best accommodations
Baunei is the ideal base to explore the Selvaggio Blu, Cala Goloritzé and the Golgo plateau. Staying in the village means parking, restaurants and the quickest access to Sardinia's coastal trails are just steps away.
Why pick Baunei over the coast
Unlike Santa Maria Navarrese or Arbatax, Baunei keeps the soul of an authentic Ogliastra village: stone houses, quiet alleys, shepherds who greet you on the street.
For trekking, coves and nature, sleeping in the village is the easiest choice: you set off early, skip the summer coastal traffic, and come back without long drives.
Types of lodging in Baunei
Family-run guesthouses and B&Bs make up most of the offering: few rooms, direct hosting, fair prices.
Da Battista Rooms sits in the old town, inside a restored family carpentry. Three rooms, each named after a place on the coast: Venere, Pedra Longa, Giradili.
When to book
For July and August, book 3–4 months ahead. June and September offer great weather, clear sea and fewer crowds.
April–May and October are the best months for trekking: mild temperatures, quiet trails, lower prices.
