About Bassacutena
Bassacutena is a small village of about 400 people at 73 metres above sea level, a hamlet of Tempio Pausania in Gallura, north-east Sardinia. Oak and olive woods and granite outcrops surround it, and a stream of the same name runs through. The hill of Lu Naracu has the ruins of a nuraghe, and the church is San Pietro Apostolo. The SS 133 between Tempio Pausania and Palau passes through the village. Homes filed under this name are scattered over a wide area rather than gathered in the village, so check the map before booking. Some have a private pool and most have a garden.
