The residence is located in the area called 'le Baronie', between the valley of the Posada river and the Gulf of Orosei. Budoni is one of the must-see places here and is close to small bays, impressive cliffs, and long white sandy beaches. The sea is crystal clear and there are also several lagoons, home to the pink flamingos. You will also find archaeological heritage sites: the Nuraghe of Entosu, and the Domus de Jana (Fae’s houses). Another interesting landmark to visit the church of San Pietro, a long path in the typical historic centre, between old Sardinian houses will take you there.
Spiaggia di Budoni
In Budoni there is a breath-taking 4 km long white sandy beach, with shallow sea with crystal clear waters that make it the perfect beach for families with young kids. The beach is surrounded by small dunes with pine threes where is possible to see different species of birds.
Porto ottiolu
The port of Ottiolu is another interesting place to see in the area. It has more than 400 berths and there are all kind of amenities. The port is also the starting point for a short cruise to discover the coves of the coast.
Sport activities
Budoni is also popular for the various sport activities that you can try during your holidays: sailing, diving, horse ridinig, tennis, football. As a guest, you can also rent a bike from the Ainu Residence.
Entertainment
Budoni's nightlife is sophisticated and well-organised , in any season of the year! When the night falls, there are several nightclubs, discos and bars that provide plenty of entertainment. Moreover, you can taste the real Sardinian cuisine in one of the many restaurants, trattorias and agriturismos. Only regional dishes are served here, such as indattari Olbiesi (Olbia traditional soup with mussels), zuppa Gallurese (oven dish with bread, stock, pecorino sardo and herbs), li puligini (ravioli from the region) and copulettas (dessert with jam, honey and almonds).
Of course you can explore other parts of Olbia Tempio from this location, and of course the famous Costa Smeralda is worth a visit!

We stayed in the structure for two weeks. Well maintained, clean residence in an excellent location to reach the beautiful beaches of the area. The restaurant where we ate two evenings was also of a good standard. The boat / raft trips suggested by Massimiliano are wonderful experiences.
What a great spacious, clean apartment. 4 persons apartment more than sufficient. House and kitchen supplies sufficient.
Staff is friendly and helpful.
The lovely pool, perhaps a tip to indicate, put signs that smoking is not allowed at the pool, because the butts are left by the umbrellas, a shame because you can't put your stuff in the pot where the parrasol is in stands.
Nice that you can get fresh bread rolls every day at the reception or restaurant on order.
Delicious food in the restaurant ... small menu, but sufficient. Enough to do in the area. Rental car is strongly recommended.
Had a nice holiday in this apartment. Neat and clean. Shower is a bit small and clumsy but otherwise fully equipped. Staff is very cordial and helpful to arrange things. Rental car is necessary to enjoy the area, but there is plenty to see and do.
Had a nice week with 3 children. The apartments are not overly luxurious, but perfectly comfortable. The pool was a bit small but was never overly busy so it wasn't a problem. The restaurant on site was just right although there are many good places to eat. The staff were very helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for anyone. This is a non fussy no no frills great place to spend a week with kids. Ask at reception for recommendations on where to go and what to do and relax and enjoy all that the region has to offer.
We have just returned from 10 days at Ainu Residence and we had the most pleasant time there. We are a family of 5 including a very dynamic toddler so the pool was very welcome to tire the kids out. The apartment was very clean and really well equipped. We had 2 bedrooms: bunk beds for the older kids and a cot in our bedroom (quite spacious room).
