Abi d’Oru provides the collection’s local hotel reference. Porto Rotondo’s port, Piazzetta San Marco and San Lorenzo form a village outing centred on modern Sardinian art.
The Church of San Lorenzo was designed by Andrea Cascella and Mario Ceroli. Granite gives its structure a specifically Sardinian material reference. Inside, the ceiling takes the form of an overturned ship's hull, bringing a different shape and scale to the experience of the building.
Ceroli's Russian-pine figures introduce human profiles and religious imagery. Consider how the wooden forms relate to the surrounding space.
The Last Supper, the Flight into Egypt and the Last Judgment are among the subjects represented. Ceroli also created the Murano-glass rose window and the glass entrance portal. Those works give an interest in the church several different media to consider.
Choose the scenes for a figurative-art interest, or the glass, wood and stone for a material-focused visit.

No. It sits on Marinella beach, outside the center. Choose it for that coastal setting rather than assuming the hotel is embedded within the marina streets. Understanding the exact position helps match the accommodation to the daily atmosphere you want.
Emmanuel Chapalain’s pavement mosaic depicts a marine food chain using granite cobbles and yellow and black Sardinian stones. The route lies beside the steps between Piazzetta San Marco and San Lorenzo and ends with a sequence of shells.
At Cabu Abbas near Olbia, Riu Mulinu is a single circular nuraghe built from granite blocks. A large enclosing wall incorporates the hill’s natural rocky outcrops and has opposing entrances. Inside the tower, a passage retains a niche and the remains of a stair.
Olbia’s Archaeological Museum, on the islet of Peddone, holds Roman ship remains, including masts and steering oars. Reconstructed sections of cargo vessels help explain the surviving timbers. The collection also follows the city’s Phoenician, Greek, Punic and Roman port history.
Zuppa gallurese, also called suppa cuata, is a baked Gallura dish made in layers of bread, cheese and meat broth. Fresh cow’s-milk cheese and grated matured cheese are layered with the bread; hot broth soaks through before baking and browning the top. Parsley is used in a traditional preparation.
