Lotzorai

Lotzorai lies between surrounding mountains that shelter it from cooler winds and a sandy coastline washed by emerald water. Its central position between Ogliastra's main coastal towns makes it a natural stopping point for travellers moving north or south through the region. The area offers a wide choice of accommodation, including hotels, B&Bs and campsites.

Among the main historic landmarks is the Castello della Medusa, a medieval fortress associated with the Giudicato of Cagliari that rises above the landscape and offers broad views. Travellers interested in prehistoric Sardinia can also explore the Domus de Janas of Fund'e Monti, cut into the granite slopes of Trucucu hill and surrounded by Mediterranean scrub.

Beaches in Lotzorai

Lotzorai's beaches are broad and often less crowded than nearby hotspots, with excellent views towards Isolotto d'Ogliastra. A pine wood separating the beach from the road provides welcome shade during the hottest part of the day.

Events in Lotzorai

In spring, Cortiggias brings traditional music, folk performances and food-and-wine routes through the village. In August, the Culurgiones Festival celebrates Ogliastra's best-known filled pasta alongside seadas, Sardinian sweets, roast suckling pig, local bread, cheeses, seafood, wine and craft beer.
