The Property — Bed and Breakfast Su Pasu
Bed and Breakfast Su Pasu is a straightforward three-star guesthouse on the edge of Nuoro's historic centre, a short walk from the Corso Garibaldi. The building is a modern, no-frills structure with clean, compact rooms and a small breakfast room that feels more functional than fancy. What it lacks in charm it makes up for with convenience and a genuinely helpful owner who hands out hand-drawn maps of the town's sights. This is a practical base for a night or two if you're exploring Nuoro's museums and mountain backdrop, not a destination in itself.
Chronicles of Nuoro
Nuoro sits at the foot of Monte Ortobene in central Sardinia and grew from a village of shepherds into the province's administrative hub. Its stone-walled historic centre, the 'Séuna', preserves a medieval layout of narrow lanes and granite houses, though much of the town was rebuilt after a 19th-century cholera outbreak. The city became a focal point of Sardinian cultural identity in the 20th century, producing writers like Grazia Deledda and artists such as Francesco Ciusa. Today, Nuoro balances its role as a quiet provincial capital with a proud tradition of local crafts, dialect theatre, and a weekend market that spills onto the main square.
Best Time to Visit
Full Nuoro guide →Best months
May and September offer warm, settled weather without the summer crowds; June is also good but can be hot later in the month.
Peak / festival surge
August, especially the first two weeks, when Italian holidays and the Festa del Redentore (last weekend) fill Nuoro. Hotel prices double or triple; book months ahead. Temperatures often hit 35°C in the shade.
Budget shoulder season
April, late September and October bring lower rates, cooler days (20-25°C), and far fewer tourists. The landscape is still green in spring or turning gold in autumn.
Weather & packing
Nuoro's altitude (550m) means nights can be noticeably cooler than the coast even in summer. Pack a light jacket or fleece for after sunset, plus comfortable walking shoes for the steep streets.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Bed and Breakfast Su Pasu, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor, specifically at the far end of the corridor, away from the street side (Via Pasquale Paoli). This position will minimize the impact of street noise from the main road. As all rooms are on the first floor, there's no need to worry about elevator noise or floors above.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms at the front of the hotel, closest to the street (Via Pasquale Paoli), as they may be more prone to noise from traffic and potential evening activity in the nearby town.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address and orientation suggest that views of the surrounding area may be limited. However, rooms at the back of the hotel might offer a glimpse of the nearby rooftops or the surrounding hills, depending on the room's specific positioning.
Quietest floors
The first floor is the only floor available, and as it's a historic townhouse, the layout is likely to be compact. Given the lack of a lift, rooms at the far end of the corridor are likely to be quieter.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Via Pasquale Paoli is a potential issue, particularly for front-facing rooms. Additionally, there may be some noise from the nearby service entrance or other rooms, but this should be minimal.
Insider tips
Be sure to arrive with a parking ticket or a small amount of cash to pay for parking at the public car park on Via Leonardo da Vinci. The €0.80/hour rate adds up quickly, and it's better to be prepared. Request a room key code for WiFi access, as it's not automatically provided. This will ensure you can stay connected during your stay.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Order a 'caffè al banco' to avoid seated surcharges; buy wine and cheese from Conad rather than tourist shops; skip airport taxis and take the ARST bus to/from Olbia.

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Piazza Crispi (central stop) → Melalidone B&B (Via Roma stop)
💡 Buy multi-ride tickets at Tabacchi Satta in Piazza Italia – €8 for 10 rides. Avoid bus 5 after 19:00; it runs a loop that misses Via Roma.
Nuoro bus station (Piazza Principe Umberto) → Hotel Baia Marina (via Manzoni stop)
💡 Ask the driver to drop you at via Manzoni – the hotel is 200m downhill. No service after 8pm or Sundays; then it's a 15-minute walk.
Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (OLB) → Nuoro (via Arst station or city centre stops)
💡 Buy return ticket at the airport kiosk to save €1. Stop at 'Piazza Sardegna' for Melalidone – it’s a 3-minute walk, no need for the bus station.
Olbia Airport or Olbia Port → Melalidone B&B, Nuoro
💡 Best for luggage-heavy trips – ask for an English-speaking driver from 'Sardegna Transfer' – they know the B&B's narrow street.
Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (OLB) → Nuoro city centre
💡 Book online at turritana.it to secure a seat, especially in summer. Buses often fill up, so don't rely on last-minute tickets.

Olbia Marittima station → Nuoro station
💡 Only worth it for the views – the narrow-gauge line is slow, but you'll see cork forests and gorges. It does not connect directly to the airport – take a local taxi from Olbia airport to the station (€5, 10 mins).
Nuoro city centre → Guthiddai agriturismo
💡 Nuoro is small and hilly – walking is quicker than driving for errands. For day trips, rent a car from Nuoro station (€30/day); book ahead in summer. Guthiddai provides free parking.
