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.
