Overview

Cardedu is an Italian municipality with approximately 2,000 inhabitants located in the Province of Ogliastra, Sardinia. The town occupies a strategic position on the eastern coast of the island, nestled within the region's characteristic hilly landscape. As a relatively young municipality, Cardedu provides a peaceful atmosphere away from major urban centers and has established itself as an integral part of the tourist and social fabric northeast of Cagliari. The settlement is characterized by its proximity to the sea and its simultaneous integration into the rural environment, making it an interesting destination for visitors seeking to experience the authentic side of Sardinia.

Location

Geographically, Cardedu is situated in the heart of the Province of Ogliastra on the eastern coast of Sardinia. The municipality is located about 80 kilometers northeast of Sardinia's capital, Cagliari. In the immediate vicinity, approximately 15 kilometers north of Cardedu, lies Tortolì, one of the region's most important economic centers. The location is defined by its short distance to the coastline, while the hinterland is marked by the foothills of the Sardinian mountains. This position allows for good connections to the province's main transport routes, making Cardedu an ideal starting point for exploring the entire Ogliastra region.
