Cala di Sinzias is located near the very southeast point on Sardinia. I found a great hotel with a great location to a stunning beach. The hotel dining options left something to be desired. However, there was an awesome beach restaurant named Lido Tamatete. Serving both Italian and Mediterranean fare I took full advantage of this place and proceeded to eat lunch and dinners here. The beach and Tamatete were a short 10 minute walk through the forest from the hotel. When I wasn’t at Tamatete I spent most of my time in the water or on the beach. I’m sure there was more here to do, but I never found it. The beach scene was it for two days.
These are the typical hotel accommodations at Hotel Cala Sinzias Resort. Modest yet fully functional units. The property had a spa, gym, several private pools, and plenty of well maintained gardens.Hotel pool was both inviting and nearly empty at the same moment. I believe it’s because the beach was such an incredible draw.The walk through the woods and then some dunes near the beach. I’m beginning to resemble my stone friend here.More of the dunes on the walk to the beach. This place is both scenic and raw. Just a stunning beach in both directions. This is the view to the north. The greenish color of the water is a direct result of the golden sand and the steep angle of the sun. Here’s the beach view to the south. Notice how the water color is different from the image above. This was taken mid-day when the angle of the sun was more direct.Another pic of this beautiful water.This is an example of an “organized beach” offering chairs, drinks and some food. It’s hard not to notice the coordinated chairs and umbrellas. It looks organized.This is an example of a “disorganized beach”, offering many colored umbrellas and some congestion. Here it is hard not to notice the clashing umbrellas, towels and chairs. But who really cares anyway, we’re all at the beach.Lunchtime view of the beach from my table at Tamatete. A table in the shade with an awesome view, a bowl of hot mussels, and an ice cold Peroni beer. Sometimes the simple things in life are the best. The name of this establishment is painted in blue and white on the large rock in the foreground.Restaurant Tamatete as evening comes to the beach.
That’s it from this place. My research indicates that I will drive 2-3 hours tomorrow mostly along the southern coastline on my way to the town of Chia. Chia is located on the southwest part of Sardinia. See you there.
