Stintino is a small coastal town located on the north-western tip of Sardinia, about 35 kilometres northwest of Sassari, and was founded in 1885. The town is best known for La Pelosa Beach, celebrated for its brilliantly white sand, crystal-clear shallow waters, and a picturesque 16th-century Aragonese tower, making it one of the most iconic beaches in the entire Mediterranean. Stintino is also the closest embarkation point for visiting the Asinara National Park, a protected and largely untouched island that shares a deep historical and cultural bond with the village.
Lina Hotel sits in the heart of Stintino, directly facing the Porto Vecchio on Sardinia's northwestern tip. A family-run property since 1968, it's a compact two-star with six rooms, a longtime local institution, and one of the few affordable beds in a village that fills fast in summer.
