About San Teodoro
San Teodoro is a Gallurian town founded in the 17th century, with fewer than 5,000 residents in winter and tens of thousands in summer. La Cinta is fine white sand with dunes that slope gently into shallow, clear water, and behind it lies a lagoon where flamingos rest on migration. Offshore lies the protected marine area of Tavolara and Punta Coda Cavallo. Cala Brandinchi, nicknamed Tahiti, and Lu Impostu lie along the same coast. The town is known for its nightlife among young people. Homes are spread around the area rather than all in town. Most have a private pool and nearly all have a garden and air conditioning, though Wi-Fi is less than universal. Some sleep eight or more.
