Here is my do not miss guide for northern Sardinia:
Santa Teresa di Gallura
We landed in Alghero and drove approx 2 hours to this lively beach resort facing the Straits of Bonafacio and the French island of Corsica. Get ready to speak Italian because we didn't hear a word of English in our 4 days here.
Sleep/Play
Hotel da Cecco - adorable 3* hotel in an awesome location in the center of Santa Teresa. Friendly staff (but no English) and basic breakfast. €70 a night in September.

Eat/Drink
Bar Conti - we went here 3 nights in a row. Drink €5 glasses of prosecco on the main square with a free appetizer buffet of traditional Sardinian foods (7-9pm daily).
Longoni Restaurant - 10 minute walk from the center of Santa Teresa, lively atmosphere and outdoor seating, noteworthy homemade pastas.
Pape Satan Pizzeria - traditional Neapolitan style, melt in your mouth crust with delicious fresh ingredients.
