About Isola Rossa
Isola Rossa is a seaside village in northern Sardinia with a modern harbour overlooked by a Spanish tower from the late sixteenth century. It belongs to the municipality of Trinità d'Agultu e Vignola, whose main village stands 350 metres up and about 6 km away. La Marinedda beach joins the village beach, with pale white sand running gently into shallow water and dunes covered in scrub behind. Our homes are tightly grouped here and mostly small, typically one bedroom and sleeping four, though some are larger. The beach has hotels, bars and restaurants, and the water suits snorkelling and diving.

La Marinedda is popular with windsurfers and hosts international windsurfing competitions every August. Gallura, the wider area, has hot summers and generally mild winters.
