About Quartu Sant'Aleni/Quartu Sant'Elena
Quartu Sant'Elena stretches along the Gulf of Angels just east of Cagliari, where long sandy beaches meet the lagoon of Molentargius and the granite headlands of Mari Pintau. It is also one of the best places in southern Sardinia to get on the water or into a kitchen: the Cagliari: Sailing Trip with Snorkeling and Aperitif at Mari Pintau leaves from this coast, and the Cagliari: Culurgiones Cooking Class in Quartu Sant'Elena with Tasting & Market Tour takes place right in town.

Frequently asked questions
Summer is peak season on the Gulf of Angels, so sailing trips, boat tours and cooking classes fill up days or weeks ahead — book as soon as your dates are fixed. Spring and early autumn are quieter and still warm enough for swimming and vineyard visits, with more last-minute availability.
